The Atlanta Hyatt Restoration: An unlimited range of color and texture for concrete utilizing masonry staining.

Product Number: 41208-419-SG

Author: Russell Gray

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

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.

Product Number: 41214-855-SG

Author: Doug Sawyer

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

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.

The Benefits and Use of Fluropolymer Coatings

Product Number: 51219-178-SG

Author: Eric Brandhorst

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

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.

The Case Against Galvanized Piping in Domestic Water Systems

Product Number: 51317--9398-SG

ISBN: 9398 2017 CP

Author: Catherine Noble

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

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.

The Case Study of Foul Release Coating Application & Its Key Issues for Shipbuilding Industries

Product Number: 41214-812-SG

Author: Sang Ki Chi, Seung Hyun Kim, Byung Wan Kim

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

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.

The Cavitation Corrosion Behaviour of a Cobalt-Based Alloy in Seawater

Product Number: 51324-21122-SG

Author: A. Al-Hashem

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

An ultrasonically induced cavitation facility was used to study the cavitation corrosion behavior of cobalt-based alloy (UNS R30006) in seawater. The work included measurements of free corrosion potentials, and mass loss in presence and absence of cavitation. The cavitation tests were made at a frequency of 20 KHz and at temperatures of 250C. Cavitation conditions caused a noble shift in the free corrosion potential for cobalt-based alloys. Cavitation also increased the rate of mass loss of these alloys by several orders of magnitude with respect to stagnant conditions. Cavitation made the surface of this alloy very rough, exhibiting cavity pits in the middle region of the attacked area as revealed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mechanical factors were determined to be the leading cause of metal loss.

The Challenge of Balancing Adhesion and Corrosion Resistance in Waterborne Styrenated Acrylic Direct to Metal (DTM) Resins

Product Number: 51217-034-SG

Author: Allen Bulick, Chirs Le Fever, Glenn Frazee, Kailong Jin, Matt Mellorr

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Design of waterborne acrylic and styrenated acrylic resins for metal protection requires balancing a multitude of often competing properties. One classic example is attempting to maintain hardness and block resistance while simultaneously reducing the volatile organic content (VOC) demand of waterborne paints. During a recent new product development project, another recurring tradeoff emerged – attempting to deliver a robust adhesion profile while maximizing corrosion resistance.

The Challenges of Replacing Conventional Thermal Insulation with Insulation Coatings to Eliminate Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

Product Number: 51323-19519-SG

Author: David Morton

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is widely acknowledged to be a critical issue facing plant operators in the oil, gas and chemical industries. CUI studies from a petrochemical facility have shown that 40-60% of pipe maintenance costs are due to CUI and approximately 10% of the total maintenance budget is spent repairing damage from CUI, mainly on pipes. The risk of corrosion under insulation is considered high in the temperature range 50 – 175°C (122 – 347°F) and extreme when in cyclic temperature service between -20 and 320°C (-4 – 608°F).

The Change Of Corrosion Inhibition Behavior Of Tetradecyl Phosphate Ester At Elevated Temperatures

Product Number: 51322-18053-SG

Author: Shuai Ren, Yi He, Xi Wang, David Young, Marc Singer, Maalek Mohamed-Saïd, Sheyla Camperos

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

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.
