Electroplating is a coating technique used to apply a metallic deposit to alter the properties of the substrate surface. Traditional electroplating involves submerging a part into a tank of electrolyte plating solution and passing a current between the part and an anode, any area that should not be plated must be masked off. Brush electroplating is a portable method of electroplating localized areas without the use of an immersion tank.
Today’s water-based intumescent coatings provide improved fire resistance, allowing architectural exposed structural steel (AESS) to be featured prominently. This article examines the environmental/health benefits of water-based coatings over traditional, solvent-based coatings, and provides recommendations on how to apply these materials in a safe and attractive manner and ensure long-term performance.
The Atlanta Hyatt boasts 1,260 guest rooms and just over 180,000 square feet of ballroom and exhibit space. Using the construction technology and trends of the time, the exterior surfaces of the hotel were constructed of exposed river rock aggregate consolidated concrete walls. This was a popular building material, but one that often left gaps of uneven areas where the river rocks were not evenly distributed.
We will discuss a disciplined approach to the decision-making process by developing supported defensible rational for why we do things. These things can be developing estimates, determining sales strategy, developing focus (vertical) markets, and increasing the size of our business and many others. Essentially a tool on how to get “there” from where we are today.
High performance fluoropolymer resin systems for coatings applications have been commercially available for years. These technologies provide the owner a coating system that will far outperform other coatings in terms of exterior performance, most notably in chalk and fade retention. This paper will discuss the chemistry of the two primary types of fluoropolymer resins utilized in the protective and architectural coatings markets and explore the mechanisms by which they provide improved exterior durability. Additionally, the benefits of fluoropolymer coatings will be explored in specific applications.
Successful digitalization can improve process efficiency, provide deeper insight into operations, and greatly simplify compliance. This presentation will outline how Champion Painting, a global industrial painting contractor, uses the TruQC digitalization platform in its daily operation.
Few things in life improve quality, decrease costs and reduce the Environment impact. With the proper technology, using steel grit to prepare steel structures for coating can accomplish this.
There are several thousand bridges that are scheduled for maintenance painting both in the State of Tennessee and Missouri. The Caruthersville Bridge (I-155 Mississippi River Bridge) is an on-going project, which is the northern-most bridge over the Lower Mississippi River, with the combined flow of the Upper Mississippi and the Ohio River.
Galvanized steel pipe is protected by a layer deposited by hard water, but may suffer corrosion in soft water. Presented are case studies of corrosion in galvanized water piping in a stadium, hotel, and county government building. Details of corrosion mechanism and mitigation strategies are also discussed.
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.
