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

This paper presents an overview of systems available in the market today, their health and safety characteristics, performance capabilities and delivery mechanisms. Installation technologies are analyzed on their energy efficiencies, environmental impact, performance result consistency, ease of use and cost. The goal was to identify currently available systems; analyze concerns and limitations with these systems; and provide a basis for material selection and installation practices to achieve long-term expectations; while maintaining the utmost protection of humans, animals and the environment
The FHWA 100-year coating study was initiated in August 2009. The objective of this study is to identify and evaluate coating materials that can provide 100 years of maintenance-free service life for steel bridges.
Recognizing the need to elevate craft workers’ skills within the industrial coatings industry, the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) became involved in the development of the published SSPC ACS 1/NACE No.13 Joint Standard and the Body of Knowledge contained within. Since the development of the joint standard, the IUPAT has taken advantage of the opportunities afforded by the standard and remained committed to ensuring that its members are properly trained and certified as prescribed by the industry standard.
It is often said that inspection processes save money but that inspection reports cost money. The automation of inspection processes is an important cost saving that also leads to more time being allocated to the important task of inspection. There have been recent developments in both software and gauge design, which together make paperless quality assurance a reality for all protective and industrial coating applications.
In this article, we will be presenting some background about the zinc‐in‐immersion technology itself while addressing some of the important questions where the two opposing sides commonly clash. A discussion over failure modes; reasons for failure; and alternate technologies will be discussed. Additional information will detail what factors and features are needed to develop a good lining to protect steel water tanks. The paper will conclude by discussing alternative coating options that exist (including “greener” versions) and expected performance levels these coatings are anticipated to provide.
An in-depth look at alternative “green” methods of surface preparation when traditional abrasive blasting of exterior steel substrates is either impractical, costly, or there is an inherent desire to minimize environmental impact, dust generation, and contaminant release, such as solvents or lead.
The presentation will share new developments in polyaspartic technology that allows contractors to repair aged gelcoat originally used as the OEM /wearcoat over fiberglass composites and other architectural substrates by using this environmentally preferred option.
The primary scope of this paper is to outline guidelines for cleaning, repairing, and restoring / renovating Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) and non-EIFS exteriors.
During April 2010 through June 2010, tank repairs were performed at Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) in San Pedro, CA. A two-part Modified Epoxy Novolac Polysulfide Coating was applied to three (3) previously uncoated 50,000 barrel (Bbl) underground concrete storage tanks. The tanks have been in operation since 1942, storing various bunker and jet fuels. The scope included surface evaluation, surface preparation, concrete sealer application and coating application.
