The polyurea technology has been developed by Texaco chemical in the 80’s. First developed for the reaction-injection-molding (RIM), it has been adapted for spray application. The development in the spray equipment in the 90’s has enabled the commercialization of 100% solid polyurea spray elastomeric coatings.

The intent of the nuclear supplement to the relevant SSPC QP contractor certification programs is to certify contractors and paint shops to perform work in and for nuclear facilities that require an enhanced level of quality assurance / quality control requirements and nuclear safety culture awareness for surface preparation and painting activities. SSPC will expand the current QP certification to include the assessment of capabilities of SSPC certified firms to provide coating services to the nuclear power industry based on ANSI and ASTM standards as well as NRC guidelines.
This paper discusses the use of Master Painter Institute (MPI) paint standards and systems to select and procure paints for the protection and beautification of commercial buildings. Background on MPI and an explanation of how to use its paint standards is provided, along with instructions for using MPI manuals to choose coating systems for building environments.
This paper will discuss; the pros and cons of the alternative corrosion protection methods which were considered; the rationale for the system(s) selected; and the challenges overcome during the ten-month installation period.
The creepage of corrosion underneath a coatings film applied to a steel test panel is often used as a performance test for the anti-corrosion properties of a coating system. Creepage is defined as the degree of corrosion (usually measured in mm) emanating away from a scribe line underneath a coating film applied to a steel substrate. There are several factors which may affect the degree of corrosion creep, one of which is the type and width of scribe cut into the coatings film to the steel substrate. There is a variety of scribing methods used in various test methods and specifications; however it is unclear if there is actually a performance difference observed in corrosion creep when using different scribe types.
The logistics of painting commercial buildings can be focused into four categories: Pre-inspection of the building, communication, planning, scheduling and implementation. The challenges of painting commercial stores during operation include, but are not limited to, pre-existing building conditions, management cooperation, weather conditions, store schedule, customer accessibility to merchandise, and protecting store merchandise and customer property from overspray or equipment damage.
The traditional contracting business operations utilize three distinct programs – Safety, Quality and Policy/Procedures. These programs are typically found in three distinct manuals – The Safety Manual, The Quality Manual, and the Policy/Procedure Manual. This paper suggests that a “process approach” in a standardized quality management system can be used to integrate the three programs.
Employers understand that safety is one of the most important ingredients to a successful business. However, providing a safe workplace and ensuring a safe and environmentally-sound environment is complex. Navigating the course to fool-proof safety can be mind-boggling.

Thermal Insulating Coatings reduce a facilities carbon footprint along with being an environmentally friendly product.
Handling and transportation of finish coated steel from the fabrication shop to the project site is impacted by the length of time that the finish coat must dry. Known as shop-field throughput, a reduction in the dry time required prior to handling (without compromising performance), as well as a minimization of handling damage can greatly reduce project costs.
