Design, Test and Manufacture of Radar Absorbing Materials for Australian Defence Platforms

Product Number: 41216-943-SG

Author: Andrew Amiet

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The techniques used to measure, design, and test Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM) are described. Absorbing additives are added to polymer materials at a range of concentrations in the laboratory, and then tested over the frequency range of interest to determine the material’s permittivity and permeability. The techniques and algorithms used to extract these values are dependent upon the material under test and the type of information required.

Developing an Efffective Coating Specification

Product Number: 51216-017-SG

Author: Breck Vernon

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This presentation will describe best practices for preparing a quality specification for applying protective coatings and linings to industrial structures. A well-prepared specification helps ensure that the contractor performs the work required in the allotted time. The presentation will focus on developing appropriate requirements for applying coatings and linings to obtain maximum system performance, service life, and protection of substrates in the prevailing service environment.

Development of Materials and Process Metrics for High Performance Abrasive Blast Surface Preparation

Product Number: 41216-977-SG

Author: Robert Kogler, Laura Erickson

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Protective coating systems provide the primary corrosion protection for assets in sea water. Protective coating systems are defined as a specific combination of surface preparation and coating material applied under specified conditions to a specific structure. Over the past many years, the paint industry has focused considerable resources toward the formulation, performance testing and fine tuning of coatings materials.

Duplex Coating on KYTC Bridges

Product Number: 41216-986-SG

Author: Bobby Meade, Sudhir Palle, Theodore Hopwood II

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The 2014 US bridge inventory lists over 610,000 highway bridges. Industry experts believe that the cost of maintaining those bridges for repairs due to corrosion is at least $30 billion annually. Bridge owners do not have the resources to maintain bridges in good condition. New bridges are being constructed, at the rate of approximately 3,000 nationally each year. Those new bridges must not pose additional maintenance burdens on the already inadequate bridge maintenance budgets.

Effect of Surface Preparation of Coating Performance

Product Number: 41216-953-SG

Author: Devin Clark, Richard C. Ferguson & James W. Rawlins

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Coating performance and longevity is highly dependent on the quality of substrate surface preparation. The effect of profile height, profile type (e.g., type of tool used to perform the prep, angularity of profile, etc.), extent of cleanliness, and amount of chloride contamination on coating performance were all studied to determine the correlation between these factors in an attempt to identify the primary factor in coating failure due to improper surface preparation.

Effects of Scratch Defects in Epoxy Coating of Steel Reinforcing Bars Embedded in Structural Concrete

Product Number: 41216-968-SG

Author: Zhicheng Gao, Robert Y. Liang, Anil K.

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Epoxy coatings provide excellent physical barrier to the steel reinforcing bars that are embedded in reinforced concrete and prevent chloride ions from reaching the bar surface under corrosive environment. Such protection primarily depends on the integrity of the coatings, which can often be damaged during construction. Repair of epoxy coatings can be time consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is important to determine a critical amount of damage that can be tolerated without compromising the capacity of the coatings to provide corrosion protection.

Equifinality: Specifying Performance

Product Number: 41216-963-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel, Tony Ippoliti

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The authors look toward the future of specifying coating projects starting with the traditional prescriptive, means-and-methods, coating formula-based specifications. The popular qualified product list (QPL) approach is presented along with its drawbacks. The design/build (DB) ideal and limitations of specifying only performance is presented.

Formulators in the Field: The Effect of Over-Cure or Under-Cure of Polyclamine Cured Epoxy Linings

Product Number: 41216-993-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, Vijay Datta, Travis Gafka

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Advanced technology high performance tank linings are often applied by plural spray equipment and occasionally one of the components could be off ratio. Worse still, some well-intentioned field personnel might add more curing agent to speed up the cure, or alter other properties, or may not utilize the entire curing agent portion in a single leg application. This paper investigates the effects of under-cure or over-cure on the performance of two high temperature tank linings by deliberately mis-mixing the two components.

Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings (FBE) and Disbondment

Product Number: 51316-7246-SG

ISBN: 7246 2016 CP

Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

In this paper, failure analysis methodology will be applied to the principal mechanisms by which FBE coatings fail during long term service; with specific application to case studies involving blistering. The case studies apply standard failure analysis techniques to determine the primary causes and modes of failures.

Green Coatings from a Global Perspective

Product Number: 41216-967-SG

Author: Don Futch

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This paper will examine the different restrictions and indicators currently used to classify coatings as ‘Green”. It will also take a brief look at the Organizations and Governmental agencies that classify coatings as ‘Green”. The process of how to certify and the certifying organizations will be discussed. Finally, I will propose some guidelines to develop a universal global standard based upon existing commonality that would then have to be accepted by the global sanctioning bodies and users, while overcoming the bureaucratic hurdles and other obstacles and challenges in the way

Impact and Abrasion Resistant Coatings and Overlays for Immersion Structures in Severe Environments

Product Number: 51216-003-SG

Author: Jeffrey Ryan, Richard Lampo, Hota V.S. GangaRao, P.V. Vijay

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns and operates the vast majority of the countries lock and dam structures for inland navigation. The large steel gates on these structures are subjected to a severe impact and abrasive environment while in immersion by debris such as timber, ice, steel drums, etc. High VOC vinyl resin coatings have historically been the best available coatings for these structures in this environment but have exhibited very poor performance at the water line where the impact and abrasion is at its worse.

Improvement of Weather Resistance for Epoxy Based Coatings on Marine Structures

Product Number: 51216-008-SG

Author: Sang-Moon Shin, Chung-Seo Park, Seung-Gon Choo, Sang-Sik Park, Kyoung-Sub Hwang

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Epoxy-based coating used in the ships and marine structures can be quickly degraded after only a short period of exterior exposure. The weathering defects such as discoloration, chalking and gloss reduction are originated from a photo-oxidation of aromatic group in the epoxy resin under the UV light. Weather resistance coatings such as polyurethane and polysiloxane require more work due to the short over-coating interval and low compatibility with primer coating layers.
