This paper will consider the performance and relevance to static situations of the key types of Cathodic dip painting (CDP) Antifoulings (Rosin Modified types), the current tin free polishing types (typically acrylates of various types), and low energy surface types. Both field experience and laboratory work will be considered.

Mineral abrasives such as glass bead and aluminum oxide have been traditionally used in the surface finishing industry. The general perception is that they offer acceptable cleaning at a low operating cost. Often dismissed is the potential of metallic alternatives that though seemingly higher in initial procurement cost, offer several differentiating advantages in terms of recyclability, consistency of finish, repeatable results and ultimately resulting in overall, reduced operating costs.
The use of sustainable materials in the flooring market has gained widespread interest in recent years. Bio based raw materials contribute significantly to these efforts and are used to prepare environmentally friendly coatings. Castor oil-based emulsions are used as polyols in waterborne polyurethane coatings. These systems have outstanding chemical resistance and good durability. But they have inherent issues like very short pot life, poor appearance / flow properties, and delayed early hardness development.
Measuring physical parameters such as coating thickness, surface profile, and dew point is a common task for inspectors and applicators. However, those measurements are only as accurate as the instrument that performs them. Even high-quality electronic instruments can yield incorrect measurements.
Structures are made of different substrates and materials. In order to protect these structures from the impact of corrosion, virtually everything is coated with some combination of paints, lacquers, epoxies, and thermoplastics. Inspecting structures requires multiple types of tests including measuring the thickness of a wide variety of protective coatings. This paper will discuss flexible measurement devices and how the utilization of various probes provides the best measurement results for specific applications.
The effect of carbon steel coupon surface finishing processes on corrosion in a carbon dioxide environment with high and low salinity. The system was also tested with and without chemical inhibitors.
When protective coatings are to be applied to structures, it is important that the surface is clean and dry if premature failure of the coating is to be prevented and the full coating service life achieved. In many situations for both new build and repair of structures, blast cleaning of the surface is required to remove contamination and to create an anchor pattern to enhance the adhesion of the coating system to the substrate.
This paper looks at the measurement of both profile and roughness on metal surfaces prepared specifically to receive a coating system in order to protect it from corrosion. The difference between roughness and profile is discussed, whether one is more relevant than the other, and the merits of the different measurement methods for both parameters.
Modern design, manufacturing and field-testing specifications include surface profile and adhesion testing on the assumption that they are linked to long term corrosion prevention. There are a number of careful studies, dating back decades, that find no link between measurements of adhesion and (undercutting) corrosion performance, but other studies do, and the concept remains intuitively appealing and widely assumed.
Putting a long-held assumption about surface profile to the test, the authors show this: profile peak count can be measured, it can be controlled, and it does make a difference in coating performance.
