Eco-friendly technologies are already on the rise in most marine and offshore industries. Ship owners, shipbuilders and paint manufacturers have seriously considered reduction of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and CO2 emission. Also, IMO (International Maritime Organization) has enacted new regulations through MEPC (Marine Environment Protective Committee) 63 in 2011.

Organic corrosion inhibitors (CIs) are widely employed in the oil and gas industry to protect carbon steel pipelines against internal corrosion. The high inhibition efficiency of organic CIs at extremely low concentration can be attributed to their amphiphilic molecular structures. This structure enables the formation of self-assembled films that act against corrosion via the adsorption of their hydrophilic head group on the steel substrate and the repellence of aqueous corrosive species by their hydrophobic tail. Consequently, any factors affecting the film formation of organic CIs could lead to changes in inhibition behaviors.
Choosing the right colors for any paint job is very important and can be fun. Remember when you were a child and got a coloring book for your birthday? Imagine if your canvas for coloring wasn’t bound pages, but rather the amazing Brooklyn Bridge. Wouldn’t that be exciting?
Proactive solutions to avoid “the blame game” with specification responsibility.
Internal linings used for corrosion protection often have to perform under severely corrosive environments. One major concern regarding coating performance is the negative effect of soluble salts on the steel substrate at the time of lining application, particularly for higher temperature lining applications. These salts impact the ability of the applied coating systems to protect the steel in several ways including osmotic coating blistering, promotion of under-film metallic corrosion and lining disbondment.
Maintaining the integrity of oilfield equipment is essential to its safe operation and to maximize the efficiency of production. The integrity of oilfield equipment can rely on material selection and control of conditions, however, it is commonly maintained by the applications of chemical corrosion inhibitors (CI). Prior to use, these chemicals must be shown to perform as desired under the field conditions in question. To achieve this, chemicals are often evaluated using robust laboratory-based screening studies to identify potential candidates.
The technical objective is to demonstrate low-cost solutions to improve building insulation and energy efficiency through the addition of exterior paint coatings.
Proper surface preparation to create sufficient adhesion of a coating over the substrate is fundamentally important in the long-life performance of a protective coating. Abrasive blast cleaning provides a fast and well-established method of surface preparation, which utilizes energy generated by an air supply to deliver a mass of abrasive particles at certain speeds and volumes to impact the steel resulting in a cleaned surface. The method not only cleans the surface to remove rust, scale, paint, and similar contaminations, but also roughens the surface to produce mechanical and chemical adhesion for a coating. Therefore, abrasive blasting is the preferred method for preparing steel for the application of high-performance coatings and routinely used for achieving the required surface conditions prior to a coating work.
The University of Kentucky’s Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) is working with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the structural steel coating industry to develop a revolutionary tool to aid in the inspection of protective coatings applied to steel structures.
This paper will look at the evolution of coatings and linings in wastewater treatment and what has changed the way we look at protective coatings for concrete substrates. We will look at the coatings and linings used in the past, those used today, and what will be required in the future. The paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of varying coating types and why they are or are not still in use.
Since the dawn of mankind, or at least since the advent of the very first accelerated corrosion cabinet, it has been the goal of coatings evaluators to develop an accelerated corrosion testing protocol which reflects the real world of corrosion in totality. There have been passionate arguments promoting one or another testing protocol while demonizing others, but that one protocol has yet to be developed to everyone’s satisfaction.
