The VOC Odyssey: An Epic Tale of the Green World of Coating Formulators

Product Number: 41210-559-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, V.J. Datta

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Coating formulators have demonstrated ingenuity in complying with stringent VOC regulations while keeping the same standard of high performance. Significant research and development in recent years has shown that two-component waterborne epoxies can deliver comparable performance to solvent borne epoxies, and that novel single-component waterborne coatings possess outstanding corrosion resistance and aesthetic properties.

Understanding the Breathing-Air System in Abrasive Blasting

Product Number: 41215-891-SG

Author: Thomas E. Enger

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines abrasive blasting as “using compressed air or water to direct a high-velocity stream of an abrasive material to clean an object or surface, remove burrs, apply a texture or prepare a surface for the application of paint or other type of coating.” OSHA regulations governing General Industry, Construction, and Shipyards mandate the use of abrasive-blast respirators approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Blast respirators are Type-CE supplied-air respirators, commonly known as “blast helmets.” This article will review and explain the components and the requirements pertaining to the use of these respirators.

Using Lead Abatement Contractors for Surface Preparation on Commercial Properties - The Consequences of Sacrificing Quality for Safety

Product Number: 51216-012-SG

Author: Raymond S. Tombaugh

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The Federal EPA requires that commercial/residential painting contractors be certified to prepare surfaces containing lead based paint on residential and public structures. As a result, when respirators equipped with HEPA filtration are required to be worn to reduce worker exposure levels to below the permissible exposure limit for lead, the surface preparation work is often subcontracted to a licensed lead abate contractor who holds these types of certifications.
