Red Means Go, Polysiloxane Technology on the Roosevelt Island Bridge

Product Number: 41211-632-SG

Author: Chris McMillan

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Coating technologies for bridges has not changed much since 1977. Available finish coat technologies were limited to alkyd, acrylic, or urethane-based chemistry. Performance of these chemistries has declined over the years due to cost reduction in paint to meet project pricing requirements. Bridge owners and engineers have had a limited selection of high-performance coatings to protect their assets. This is even more important with high profile structures where the finish coat needs to stand the test of time and limited maintenance funding has forced asset owners to extend time in between cosmetic maintenance

Self-Stratifying Coatings - The Next Generation in Performance

Product Number: 41211-585-SG

Author: Arun Asarawala, Pete Mackulin, Randy Krafcik, Dave Klimovich

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

This paper will focus on the advancement of waterborne acrylic coatings that features self-stratifying technology which significantly advances performance of color and gloss retention. Various analytical methods were used to verify stratification. Magnified cross sections of the coating film will show the layered effect and discussion of how these multiple micro-paint layers outperform standard acrylics. An overview of performance testing will be presented to demonstrate the value of this technology and how it contributes to longer lifecycle costs and lower overall project costs.

Setting the Color Straight

Product Number: 41214-871-SG

Author: John W. Winfrey

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

For years, accelerated weathering test equipment has been utilized to showcase performance of coatings as a means to justify changing to new and “better” materials. While an accelerated weatherometer is useful in confirming a material’s performance, the results can be misleading in certain situations, resulting in misguided decisions based on a marketing department’s zeal to secure additional sales.

Southern Nevada Water Authority-Polyurethane Lining Evaluation and Testing

Product Number: 41211-637-SG

Author: Cynthia L. O’Malley, Gina Neilson

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) is a regional agency whose mission is to manage water resources and develop solutions that will ensure adequate future water supplies for the Las Vegas Valley. Its primary water resource is the Colorado River via Lake Mead. Since 2000, persistent droughts have resulted in decreasing Lake Mead water levels. To reduce Southern Nevada’s reliance on the Colorado River, SNWA has begun planning for the development of in-state groundwater resources north of Las Vegas. Initial planning efforts identified project specific requirements that could potentially justify the use of polyurethane lining systems in lieu of traditional cement mortar lining for over 200 miles of large diameter water transmission pipeline.

Successful Preservation Practices for Steel Bridge Coatings

Product Number: 51217-033-SG

Author: Charlie Brown

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Over 30 percent of the 607,000 bridges in the FHWA National Bridge Inventory have steel superstructures. Most of those are protected from corrosion damage by thin film coatings or paints. Those coatings have a finite life in relation to the steel they protect. Over time, they degrade, eventually requiring repair or replacement. When selecting this type of superstructure for a bridge, the operating agency incurs an obligation to maintain the coating on the steel to protect it from corrosion to obtain its full service life.

Surface Comparison Profile - A Comparison of Measurement Methods

Product Number: 41213-731-SG

Author: David Beamish

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Coating performance is related to the profile height on a steel surface. Three types of devices are available to take measurements of this surface profile: replica tape, depth micrometers fitted with pointed probes, and stylus roughness testers. This paper presents results from a recent analysis of measurements taken by the three device types on steel blasted with an assortment of blast media and proposes a new method of depth micrometer measurement called average of the maximum peaks.

The Evolution & Benefits of Ultra-High Solids Coatings

Product Number: 41208-453-SG

Author: Bud Senkowski

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

The U.S. Navy has implemented the use of Ultra High Solids (UHS) coatings as tank linings over the past decade. This paper reviews the evolution to UHS coatings, their performance benefits, and the environmental impact of using these materials. The next generation of UHS coatings incorporating rapid cure properties and optically active fluorescent pigments will also be explored.

The Most Recent Test Results of One-Coat Systems Applicable to Steel Bridge Structures

Product Number: 41209-492-SG

Author: Seung-Kyoung Lee, Yuan Yao, Shuang-Ling Chong

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

A two-year Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in-house study was launched in November 2006 to evaluate various coating materials that may be applied as one-coat systems to steel bridges. A total of eight test materials plus two control systems, a 3-coat and a 2-coat, were applied over near-white steel test panels (SSPC-SP10). Their performance has been evaluated for 20 months using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, surface failure characterizations, rust creepage at scribe, pull-off adhesion, and changes of color and gloss.

The Use of VCI Inhibitors in Conjunction with or Replacement of Traditional Corrosion Inhibitors

Product Number: 51219-176-SG

Author: Markus Bieber

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The use of traditional corrosion inhibitors in paints and coatings continues to be challenged from both an environmental and performance aspect. End users are demanding better corrosion performance, and in many cases, this cannot be achieved with traditional zinc or chromate type inhibitors. The use of VCIs (vapor corrosion inhibitors) in coating formulations has shown that in many systems, they can replace the older technology or significantly improve the performance of the system by working in synergy with the existing inhibitors.

Ultra-Low VOC Waterborne Alkyd Coatings with Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

Product Number: 51216-018-SG

Author: Erin Vogel, Bob Bills, Marty Beebe, Christina Ellison, Jamie Sullivan, Vennesa Williams

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Solventborne alkyd resins are widely used in industrial coatings because of their excellent gloss, good adhesion and wetting properties as well as excellent compatibility with other resin types. In many regions, however, the consumption of alkyds is diminishing as stringent environmental regulations drive the coatings industry towards lower volatile organic compound (VOC) systems. Waterborne (WB) coating systems have replaced some solventborne (SB) alkyd paints; however, these WB coatings typically do not offer the same performance as their solventborne counterparts.
