Industrial protective coatings can be surprisingly complicated for the inexperienced user or specifier. For example, when fabricating complex structures, the simple question of when during fabrication to paint can have an array of interesting cost and performance implications. Other issues include tradeoffs associated with degree of surface preparation and inspection for coating coverage. The paper will explore some of the reasons why they can be complicated in the context of four issues that can impact an industrial protective coatings project.

A new system for waterborne 2K epoxies has been developed that presents a measurable value proposition. Performance testing results are presented that demonstrate the key features of coatings prepared with the new amine hardener and two different epoxy dispersions. The hardener is ultra-low-VOC and contains no free amines (no need for hazard labeling).
Due to the threat of Global warming, and the steady increase of the cost of energy, particularly electricity, so called "Cool Roof Coatings" or CRC’s, have received a lot of high-profile press in industry magazines due to their ability to drop surface temperature of roof structures during the summer months.
This presentation focuses on Abrasive Blasting as it is the most widely form of surface preparation in the Protective Coating Industry. It is a brief but comprehensive presentation of the top 5 mistakes made when Abrasive Blasting and how these can be resolved to lower the total cost of a surface preparation project.
Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) involves penetration of a liquid metal into a solid metal that leads to brittle fracture. A test program was established to evaluate the susceptibility of various metallic materials to LME by mercury.
Since the inception of Epoxy Passive Fire Protection (EPFP), the industry has depended upon systems that require mesh reinforcement. The addition of this mesh adds at least $3.72 USD/sq. ft. to the applied systems. To avoid any risk of failure when exposed to fire reinforcement mesh must be correctly installed in accordance with the product’s certification and type approvals.
This paper discusses how to determine the “safe” separation distance that is required for transmission powerline tower and an adjacent pipeline to avoid an arc from the former to the latter - based on research literature and standards. Mitigation.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a 20-40% increased risk of certain types of cancer, lung cancer in particular, for those who come into regular contact with, or work with paint. This paper will give a highlight on the challenges that are facing the adoption of green paints in a variety of applications and the current status for that including paint formulations, supply chain, and community education.
This paper is an overview of the NSRP Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SPC) mission to reduce the cost of building, repairing and maintaining US Navy ships. It will showcase working and recently completed projects that have been implemented on the deck plates.
