The use of advanced LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lighting for protective coating applications provides a significant improvement in the efficiency of the process. Better surface and area visibility improves job performance and is critical for compliant coating application and provides a better work environment for the technicians applying the coat.

This paper considers the environmental and financial impact of various antifouling coatings for ships hulls. To do this comparison an eco-efficiency analysis was conducted comparing three different fouling control systems which offer the same customer benefit of a clean underwater hull. The results clearly demonstrated that fluoropolymer foul release technology can offer this benefit in the most eco efficient way having lower impacts on both the environment and on the economics of using that technology.
The long term performance of any coating system will be limited by the ability of the applicator to achieve the best combination of surface preparation, application, and curing. In oil and gas facility construction, sometimes the most appropriate coating system is not the best available technology, but rather the system that ensures the highest probability for success based on the environmental conditions during application. An example is presented in which a zinc rich epoxy coating provides clear advantages over the specified inorganic zinc silicate due to circumstances specific to the particular application.
Contractors often agree to deliver a project on a certain schedule. Then, once the work begins, the project suffers significant impacts, oftentimes through no fault of either the General Contractor or the Subcontractors, and then they do not have the tools in place to properly communicate the impacts, recover the losses and manage success.
This paper will discuss cost reduction of building and maintaining Navy Ships. Specifications, inspection, preparation, and application will also be discussed.
Direct-to-metal (DTM) is a coating characteristic required in many markets. In particular, the light industrial and do it yourself markets require simple easy to use one component formulations. The ever-changing market requirements compel the formulator to stay current on new resin developments to meet these challenges.
Floating production storage offloading (FPSO) system hulls physically resemble ocean going transport vessels but operate more like fixed offshore structures. FPSOs normally are moored in deep water and are connected to unique riser systems. As these production systems are typically designed for long life, 20 to 30 years, corrosion control of the hull is extremely critical to help assure the required performance is obtained.
In an effort to address cost issue associated with shop application of conventional 3-coat systems, FHWA completed a study to investigate the performance of eight one-coat systems and two control coatings for corrosion protection of highway bridges. Based on prior performance, a three coat system and a two coat system were selected as the control coating systems.
There is a new family of 100% renewably sourced and high performance poly (trimethylene ether) polyols which is being manufactured in a sustainable process using an ingredient derived from agricultural feedstock. Owing to its unique structure, these polyether diols have many useful properties such as low viscosity, low melting point, slow crystallization rates, high flexibility, resistance to heat and acidic environments. These attributes are ideal for coating applications.
Bridge coatings have evolved significantly over the years, which has led to wide array of coating types for the bridge coatings community to choose from. This paper will briefly discuss the evolution of bridge coatings through time and will also discuss the most current systems deployed in the coating of structural steel bridges. The primary focus of this paper will be centered on one of the newer technologies available, polysiloxane.
