Marine fouling is a significant problem in many industries. Since the ban of tributyl tin, a toxic additive prevalent in anti-fouling coatings, various new technologies have emerged to combat this problem. Silicone elastomers are a popular, non-toxic solution to fouling in numerous marine environments. These coatings, however, still incorporate volatile organic compounds (VOC) to aid in application and often require routine maintenance or recoating in approximately 5 years.
As environmentally friendly coatings, inks, and adhesive systems have evolved; additives have also evolved in chemistry, structure and effectiveness. This overview strives to present these new additive technologies in three areas: surfactants, dispersants, and defoamers. The chemical nature of these additives and subsequent performance in a variety of systems will be described.
With increasing frequency cartridge-based technology is becoming the preferred method for touch-up and repair applications using high-solids coatings. Cartridge technology directly addresses many of the issues associated with batch mixing including pot life constraints, waste generation and off-ratio material proportioning/mixing. Recent data indicate there are substantial cost-savings and environmental benefits associated with cartridge use in comparison to conventional methods of touchup and repair.
Solvent based coatings carry application and removal costs, disposal and storage costs, material cost, and others. Environmentally friendly products have been developed and implemented to alleviate these concerns. The paper explores alternatives to traditional coatings.
The range of flooring options available in today’s marketplace is vast, each having their own individual place and performance characteristics. As such, owners and design professionals must evaluate many factors to determine the best flooring option for a structure’s given needs and what its environment will allow. One flooring system or option gaining popularity is polished concrete. Although polished concrete is relatively new in North America (approximately 15 years), this system offers many advantages over other flooring options.
Until recently heavy metal-based corrosion inhibitors were widely accepted as the best materials that could provide the corrosion protection needed in coatings. Corrosion inhibitors provide an indispensable function in protective coatings. The performance of a coating under corrosive conditions requires that corrosion inhibitors provide sustainable protection during the coating’s lifetime.
The use of climate control is commonly perceived as an additional cost and the energy consumed is often substantial. A closer look at the real impact can uncover economic and environmental benefits that may offset and even exceed the initial costs. These benefits include life cycle costs of the coating system, efficiencies in the project sequencing and minimizing coating and solvent waste
Global Environmental Regulations have driven many coatings developments over the last decades. Today´s regulations around worker safety and environment protection are seen as important drivers in new product development. More recently such regulations are spreading widely, as people want to live on a planet where everyone can enjoy a better quality of life, breathe clean air, where rivers and oceans are preserved, and the impact of humans on wildlife is reduced.
This article will help you as a painting contractor to make the change to green products. Four things will be highlighted: How to identify “green” paint products, application methods, marketing their use and turning your project into a winner.
During military ship and offshore platform construction weight, International Maritime Organization (IMO) approvals, and VOC content are a prime consideration. There is a need of commercial products that can fulfill International Maritime Organization (IMO)/Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and Qualified Product List (QPL) approvals, are lightweight, and contain no VOC, are environmentally friendly, and can be used for different applications
Vegetal polymers are today a cost effective solution for complex metallic geometry parts (bolts, flanges, valves, etc…), PVC vinyl film became the same for flat and semi flat shapes (bulkheads, tank walls, pipes, etc…). These methods do not require costly surface preparation such as SSPCSP10, just cleaning per SSPC-SP2. Together it leads complete and long longevity if compared to most of conventional painting procedures, generating both performance and economic benefits.
