Technology Advancements for Electrochemical Protection Systems of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Across Australia

Product Number: 51323-18881-SG

Author: Nicholas Critchley, Blane McGuiness, Oliver Gasior

Publication Date: 2023

Electrochemical protection techniques have provided owners of reinforced concrete infrastructure a highly effective option for controlling reinforcement corrosion. This is particularly so for coastal assets, such as wharves and bridges which are exposed to seawater and in turn the corrosive effects that
follow as chlorides migrate through the concrete cover to the reinforcement. Protection technologies have evolved considerably over the past 30 years in the Australian market.

Technology from Outter Space to Earth: Silicones as Protective Coatings

Product Number: 41214-864-SG

Author: Mark Vedder, Brain Burkitt, Danielle Peak

Publication Date: 2014

Compared to other polymeric materials, silicone offers greater performance in harsh environments. Inherently silicone possesses a large coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), low modulus, and a low glass transition temperate (Tg). These attributes allow it to maintain elastomeric properties for continuous operation when exposed to extreme heat, cold, and/or UV radiation. Durability is the reason silicone materials are frequently employed as coatings and sealants.

Two Coat Inorganic Coatings System for Corrosion Resistance and Long-Life

Product Number: 51324-21092-SG

Author: Kristen Blankenship; James Lawson

Publication Date: 2024

Extending service life of an offshore wind tower brings value to the owner and has the added benefit of reducing environmental impact. Arguably the biggest threat to service- life is degradation. When constructing with steel, corrosion is the threat to mitigate. Coatings formulated with zinc dust have been the primary strategy for protection. Zinc dust incorporated into silicate resins is considered an inorganic zinc coating. In recent years silicate finishes made without zinc have entered the market to create a two- coat inorganic system offering unmatched corrosion protection in a finish with various color options. The silicate resin is low carbon and won’t contribute to microplastic accumulation in the ocean. This paper will explain what a two- coat inorganic corrosion resistant system is, how it works, what it looks like and most importantly how it extends the life- cycle of wind towers by inhibiting corrosion for decades.

Ultra Tolerant Coating Technology: The 15 Years Path From Maintenance to New Construction

Product Number: 51317--9235-SG

ISBN: 9235 2017 CP

Author: Joao Salvado Azevedo

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Poor performance of materials…is why…more realistic application conditions are needed. An ultra-tolerant material, compatible with flash rust, humidity, poor profile and cold application conditions, potentially with Ultra High Pressure (UHP) water jetting, is presented in this paper.

Use of Nonmetallic Materials to Improve Construction Productivity and Sustainability of Infrastructure

Product Number: MECC23-20037-SG

The global cost of corrosion is estimated to be US$2.5 trillion, which is equivalent to 3.4% of the global GDP (2013). By using available corrosion control practices, it is estimated that savings of between 15 and 35% of the cost of corrosion could be realized; i.e., between US$375 and $875 billion annually on a global basis. These costs do not include individual safety or environmental consequences which can occur due to near misses, incidents, forced shutdowns (outages), accidents, etc.
