AMPP TR21540-2022, Correlating Qualitative Surface Profile Assessment Methods to Quantitative Methodology on Prepared Concrete Substrates

Product Number: AMPP TR21540-2022

Publication Date: 2022

$109.00

Coating/lining manufacturers and/or facility owners frequently specify cleaning and roughening of the concrete surface prior to product installation. The specifications may reference qualitative methods including visual assessments using comparison coupons or quantitative methods including surface profile depth measurements. However, prior to this Technical Report, there was no known data to inform a conversion between qualitative and quantitative methods. The outcomes of this Technical Report enable coating manufacturers, engineers, specifiers, and contractors to convert well-established qualitative methods to quantitative values based on an interlaboratory experiment. While current quantitative methods can measure up to 6 mm (250 mils), extremely rough concrete surfaces (exceeding ~1.5 mm, or ~50 mils) were not included in the experiment due to the inability to stabilize the instrument probe and obtain accurate data.

An Innovative Thermoplastic Coating For CUI Applications

Product Number: 51322-18122-SG

Author: Hindrik Harm Broesder, Somaieh Salehpour, Dinko Cudic

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

An innovative thermoplastic type of coating material based on pure isobutene homopolymer was investigated to determine whether it would be fit for purpose in CUI services at low and moderate temperatures up to 120 °C. This polymer is commonly called Polyisobutene (PIB) and has a unique set of properties that are beneficial for protecting metallic structures from corrosion. Polyisobutene is a polyolefin with a chemical structure similar to Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP). One of the major differences is that PE and PP are solid materials with a high degree of crystallinity, whereas PIB does not have a crystallization or melting temperature. PIB has a glass transition temperature (T_g) below – 60 °C which indicates that the polymer is a liquid above this temperature.

An Ounce of Prevention... The Reliability of Field Methods for Detecting the Presence of Amine Blush on Epoxy Coatings

Product Number: 41205-190-SG

Author: Michael Orzechowski

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Shop and field conditions of high humidity and cool temperature during curing of amine-cured epoxy coatings can produce a haze or oily residue on the surface. This is commonly referred to as “amine blush.” The residue is caused by the presence of unreacted amine on the surface of the epoxy coating reacting with carbon dioxide and moisture in the air to form a carbamate.

An Overview and Comparison of Surface Cleanliness Standards for the Protective Coatings Industry

Product Number: 41216-965-SG

Author: Nico Frankhuizen

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

At present multiple standards on blast-cleaned surfaces are in use depending on region and specifications of the project. However, most standards are relatively clear on the description of a surface some overlap each other. These overlaps are often considerate as the norm for the most comparisons between ISO and related documents, however, sometimes are significantly off. Some of these documents will be highlighted to compare the results and their impact on the coating job.

Application of Electrochemical Noise to Identify Corrosion Development of Steel with Galvanized Protective Coatings

Product Number: 51322-17873-SG

Author: Samanbar Permeh, Kingsley Lau

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Galvanized protective coatings have been used for structural steel to mitigate steel corrosion in atmospheric exposures and chloride-rich marine environments. The galvanizing process involves dipping steel elements free of surface mill scale in a molten zinc bath where the diffusion of zinc into the steel matrix allows for zinc-iron alloy layers of decreasing zinc concentrations by depth to form in the steel. Oher elements such as tin, antimony and aluminum may be added to the galvanizing bath to control reaction rates, surface appearance and corrosion behavior. Hot-dipped galvanizing provides corrosion protection by developing a barrier layer and in certain conditions provide beneficial galvanic coupling of the zinc-rich layers to the steel.

Applying Common Sense to Moisture Vapor Emissions and Moisture Content Test Requirements When Coating Below Grade Concrete Structures in Wastewater Applications

Product Number: 41216-989-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

When establishing the minimum conditions suitable for coating concrete, many coating manufacturers, and hence specifying engineers and contractors, generally rely on unrealistic moisture content and moisture vapor emission rate requirements. These compulsory values are founded on laboratory testing rather than field experience, or worse still, on supposition rooted in unachievable and unrelated requisites.

Applying Machine Learning Techniques To Identify And Predict Behavior Of Rectifier And Groundbed State Change

Product Number: 51322-17833-SG

Author: Matt Barrett, Will Maize, Tony da Costa

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Impressed current rectifiers are the backbone of a pipeline operator’s cathodic protection (CP) systems. A rectifier’s ability to protect a large length of electrically continuous pipeline considerably improves efficiencies and reduces material costs as compared to galvanic systems. However, like galvanic anodes, impressed current anodes are a consumable asset, and require replacement at the end of their service life to ensure that the rectifier can continue to adequately protect the pipeline.
