Corrosion Control Through Micro-Porous Dry Technology

Product Number: 41208-451-SG

Author: Jarl-Erik Rollén

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Rust is caused by the influence of water, oxygen and time. Air pollution and contaminants on steel surfaces speed up the corrosion process. When corrosion is caused by condensation water, a micro-porous coating can considerably enhance traditional corrosion protection.

Corrosion Resistance Waterborne Sol-Gel Coatings using Conventional Polyester Resin and Epoxy Modified Silane for Aluminum and Magnesium

Product Number: 41208-424-SG

Author: S.S.Pathak, A.S.Khanna

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Sol-gel coatings offer excellent properties such as scratch resistance, barrier properties, outdoor stability and high thermal stability. However, the precursors (silanes) used for these coatings are very expensive and require special care for handling and application on substrate. One approach to solve this problem is the incorporation of conventional organic polymer as the organic modifying component in silane coating formulation. Incorporation of organic polymer will reduce the cost and will make sol-gel coatings readily acceptable in industry.

Demystifying Decorative Finishing or... Why Gild the Lily?

Product Number: 41208-450-SG

Author: Robin Roi

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

The drive to embellish and beautify our surroundings is a human motivation that bridges both culture and time. From vases to vaulted ceilings, across the globe we captivate ourselves with ornament, decorating the objects that we create, the homes we live in and the spaces in which we work and worship. Examples of decorative painting can be found from the earliest moments of man’s existence and have evolved throughout history in synchronicity with our life styles; expressing our tastes, our status, our standards and values.

Detailed Coatings Condition Assessment of Steel Bridges

Product Number: 41208-449-SG

Author: Robin Roi

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Financial resources for maintenance of coatings systems for owners of steel bridges are at a premium. Therefore, it is imperative to prioritize and choose the scope of services for maintenance painting of these structures in the most efficient manner. This paper will present the fundamental steps necessary for a detailed condition assessment of the existing coatings of steel bridges.

In this study, a new portable garnet blasting unit targets for weld joints in W.B.T. was developed. The field data clearly indicated that the potable garnet blasting method can be a valuable tool for small damaged area and weld seam in confined area with increase in the blasting productivity by 20%. In order to predict and optimize the pressure drop and air consumption in air blasting system, semi-empirical equations have been developed

Developments in Testing Standards and Test Equipment for Discontinuities (Porosity) in Coatings

Product Number: 41208-416-SG

Author: John Fletcher

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Testing cured coatings for flaws and defects is often a crucial part of the acceptance process for a coating assessed against its specification. This is particularly the case for pipeline and storage tank coatings and for coatings applied for corrosion protection, where discontinuities in the coating can lead to premature failure.

Early Test Results of One-Coat Systems Applicable to Steel Bridge Structures

Product Number: 41208-427-SG

Author: Seung-Kyoung Lee, Shuang-Ling Chong, Yuan Yao

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

A two-year FHWA in-house study was launched in November 2006 to evaluate various coating materials that can be applied as one-coat systems to steel bridges. A total of eight test materials plus a 3-coat system and a 2-coat control system were applied over near-white steel test panels (SSPC-SP10). Their performance is being monitored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, various surface failures, rust creepage at scribe, adhesion, and change of color and gloss.

Enhancing Value With Color

Product Number: 41208-452-SG

Author: Billy Rosbottom

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

The natural world provides us with references that can help create a more beautiful, inspired architectural experience. Color happens for a reason in nature and should be transferred to our buildings to reflect that dynamic. For all the color in the world there is an equal number of reasons why to use it. Johannes Itten said “Color is life, for a world without color appears to us as dead.”

Environmental Enclosures: Case Study of Mobile Environmental Enclosures: USS Abraham Lincoln

Product Number: 41208-409-SG

Author: Frank Dobosz

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

The purpose of the discussion is to illustrate the success of non-skid replacement on flight decks of naval vessels utilizing mobile and static environmental enclosures. The product is unique, in these projects, however has many crossover applications in the coatings and alternate markets. Most of the information we will be talking about does not bring earth shattering news to those of you who perform the work, rather information that there is a solution to the problem.

Formulating Low VOC Architectural Latex Bridge Coatings to Meet SCAQMD Requirements

Product Number: 41208-432-SG

Author: Barry Marcks

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

In June of 2006 the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) implemented new volatile organic compound (VOC) requirements for industrial maintenance coatings. Two years prior to this date The California Department of Transportation started looking for a replacement latex resin that would meet these new requirements and still have the same properties as currently used industrial maintenance bridge coatings.

French Link Renovation

Product Number: 41208-420-SG

Author: B. Gunar Gruenke

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Formerly a hot-spot destination for well-known figures such as U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joe Louis, and Al Capone, French Lick Springs Resort in Indiana was in recent need of some reviving. This historic hotel appointed Conrad Schmitt Studios to initiate a restorative transformation including decorative treatments such as metal leaf applications and murals. The resurrection of the grand, historic French Lick Springs Resort is enhanced with a new casino. Now that the restoration is complete, the drawing power of French Lick Springs Resort is on the rise again.
