Throughout their history, the value of vinyl and vinyl/acrylic coating systems has been well documented; from the superior corrosion protection of vinyl to the all-around durability and appearance that acrylics lend, vinyl and vinyl/acrylic coating systems are well known for their ability to protect as well as beautify all types of industrial, transportation, marine and hydraulic structures. Within the past few decades increasingly stringent air-quality standards and environmental regulations curtailed the use of the solvents used in many coating systems, including vinyls and vinyl/acrylics.

Over the past few decades, dramatic technology shifts have occurred in the coatings industry. Rapid changes in pigments, resins, and solvents have helped make environmentally friendly coatings possible; however, such changes have also created many technical hurdles.
This paper introduces a novel method for chemical surface preparation of concrete surfaces that has been recognized by ASTM under a recent revision of ASTM D4260. Contractors will learn current methods used to prepare concrete in order to receive coatings. The objectives of the presentation are: to understand the current methods for surface preparation of concrete, to identify the current standard for chemically etching concrete and the new materials that have been developed that meet the revised standard, and to present the environmental advantages of the new product in a real world project example.
While traditional cleaning solutions can be time consuming, costly and ineffective, dry ice blast cleaning provides a completely dry solution that cleans faster and more efficiently, while reducing downtime and supporting environmental initiatives. This presentation will discuss the basic concepts of dry ice cleaning. Participants will learn the benefits of the process, as well as, how it can benefit their production, improve quality, and support an environmentally responsible production environment.
Caretakers of outdoor monuments, sculptures and high-value architectural metalwork face formidable preservation challenges. Durable, low-maintenance coatings are needed that provide longer-lasting protection against corrosion and degradation, while being safe for the environment. We describe work done in collaboration with conservators at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Portland State University, to develop water-based fluoropolymer coatings that meet the critical needs of the conservation and architectural communities.
This paper introduces the available technology of chemical coating removal as an alternative to mechanical coating removal by comparing and contrasting the advantages and disadvantages of each chemical coating removal technology. Due to the high cost and environmental drawbacks of mechanical methods of coating removal, chemical coating removal systems have advanced as a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to remove coatings that are highly cost effective on a per square foot basis cost comparison. The presentation will discuss all chemical coating removal technology, features and benefits.
Thermal Insulating Coatings reduce a facilities carbon footprint along with being an environmentally friendly product.
Coatings designed for heavy duty applications in the Marine & Protective Coatings market are exposed to aggressive environments such as strong chemical solvents, marine atmospheres, UV light, abrasion, among others. Nowadays, the major part of the commercially available products that target this industry are solvent borne.
