Coating Specialty Surfaces: Hardwoods and Composited. What’s Different?

Product Number: 41207-370-SG

Author: Greg Portincasa, Akzo Nobel

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

As the use of alternative deck building products gains increased momentum, the need for protecting a deck’s surface remains crucial and becomes more complex. Composites and hardwoods have characteristics different from those of traditional pressure treated wood or cedar; and methods of coating and protecting these surfaces are different from traditional treated wood, yet also essential.

Coloring Stains for Concrete

Product Number: 41209-485-SG

Author: Howard Jancy

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

Concrete is an inherently attractive building material. It expresses the natural appeal of stone by its mass and permanence. With the addition of natural looking color variations, concrete as stone, is even more realistic. Concrete stains are an excellent choice for producing colors often found in earth and rock. When combined with simple and creative application techniques, stains allow for truly unique concrete installations, which complement a variety of hardscape and flooring designs.

Corrosion Durability of Three-Coat and Epoxy Mastic Coating Systems after Adverse Environmental Exposures during Coating Repair

Product Number: 51218-145-SG

Author: Md Ahsan Sabbir, Saiada Fuadi Fancy, Kingsley Lau, Dale DeFord

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Coatings are widely used for highway steel bridges exposed to aggressive environments to extend their service life. Even with the continuous development of coating technologies, steel bridges remain susceptible to corrosion deterioration. Periodic maintenance, that may include coating repair, is required for long term bridge serviceability. Selection of compatible repair coating materials and appropriate preparation of the steel surface are critical parameters for corrosion protection.

Corrosion Control and Integrity Management of Flare Gas Recovery Units

Product Number: MECC23-20160-SG

Author: Mohamed M. Farah; Abdulaziz Al-Qahtani; Ibrahim Zahrani

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Gas flaring is often a frequent occurrence in the oil and gas industry, where significant unrecovered gas is flared to the atmosphere with wide ranging negative environmental implications such as increased greenhouse emission, and other pollutants that have negative health implications on local populations. However, recent environmental awareness, drive to lower emission and economic benefits associated with flare gas recovery has seen a shift in flaring practice. The recovery of flared gas reduces noise and thermal radiation, operating and maintenance costs, air pollution and gas emission and reduces fuel gas and steam consumption.

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Management – A Case History

Product Number: 51219-196-SG

Author: David A. Hunter

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Pond investigated pressure vessel tank failures which are causing recurring maintenance of $250,000 per year. This challenging project had limitations of space, operational time pressures/vessel availability requirements, cost and replacement variables. This presentation will chronical problems and discuss best practices of specifications, material selection, surface preparation, and application inspection that would have prevented the aforementioned outcome. This paper discusses the fundamentals of composite coatings, industry accepted design standards for their use, and examples of typical uses for these materials that solve problems in varied industries.

Designing Ships Water Ballast Tanks to Improve the Performance of Coatings

Product Number: 41211-619-SG

Author: D. Broderick, R. Kattan, P.N.H. Wright

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Currently the shipbuilding industry is seeking to minimize to improve corrosion protection provided to the structures which comprise the Water Ballast Tanks (WBT’s) of a vessel. At the design stage two factors could reduce the carbon footprint of the coating process through life material selection and optimizing the structural design to facilitate the coating process and maintenance processes. Thus, the design stage exerts considerable influence on these two elements and can determine the through life costs and environmental penalties of maintaining the structure.

Deterioration of Wastewater Treatment and Collection System Assets: Knowing Where and How to Look

Product Number: 41206-271-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

After 35 years or longer in service, the concrete infrastructure in wastewater collection systems and treatment plants has deteriorated due to various corrosion and physical degradation mechanisms. This paper reviews the major mechanisms that cause deterioration of concrete and protective coatings. Also, examples of infrastructure degradation are presented along with a discussion of the best diagnostic methods for condition assessment of concrete for the various mechanisms.

Effect of Surface Conditioning on Corrosion Resistance Using New Vs. Traditional Abrasive Blasting Media Types

Product Number: 51220-291-SG

Author: Wesley S. Towle, Paul W. Rehrig, Ed R. Reitz, Rafi M. Herskovits

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Surface conditioning is the first step in building efficient corrosion protection on a part or structure. Key concerns during this step include, how to create a stronger anchor-profile and how to efficiently remove previously coated, damaged, or corroded elements from a materials surface prior to coating. The ideal solution must consider three areas of the surface conditioning process: finish quality, cleaning efficiency and total cost.
