Overcoating Lead Based Alkyd Paint on Steel Penstocks: Practical Experience Using a high Ratio Calcium Sulfonate Alkyd (HR CSA) System

This paper describes key technical attributes of an innovative high ratio calcium sulfonate alkyd (HR CSA) overcoat system, and how they allowed for the successful overcoating of a lead-based alkyd paint system on a penstock exterior at a Canadian hydroelectric facility, utilizing only 5,000 psi pressure washing for surface preparation. The case history provided outlines how the coating system also lent itself well in helping to solve different crevice corrosion issues.
