The trend toward sustainable buildings will eventually become mainstream as local governments adopt many of the voluntary guidelines in the LEED® Green Building Rating System® into building and energy codes. This paper will cover the impact sustainable buildings will have on painting and coatings contractors in addition to building professionals such as architects, specifiers, and building owners and developers is important to all involved.

Green Seal is modifying its coating standard, GS-11, to reflect today’s environmental concerns. The biggest area of concern is greenhouse gases, global warming, energy conservation and Urban Heat Islands which is referenced under the Kyoto Treaty, EPA Clean Air Act, California AB 32, Title 24 and other air quality legislation. Green Seal can address these concerns by including a new energy-efficient requirement in to its new coating standards.
The following paper will briefly review the origin and development of dehumidification and climate control equipment for the most efficient surface preparation and coatings to surfaces in enclosed spaces. As the needs of the surface preparation and coatings industry evolve, so to do the requirements and ancillary equipment used by field personnel working on these projects.
Plant maintenance engineers continually search for new and improved ways of providing corrosion protection in their highly demanding environments. Structural steel is used throughout various applications including pipe racks, building components (beam and column configurations), reactor platforms, and signage, etc. Coatings systems have traditionally been the choice of providing corrosion protection for both steel and concrete substrate.
The San Mateo Bridge represents the largest application of thick film coatings for protection of a concrete highway bridge in the US to date. This challenging project was undertaken in order to provide a aggressive extension to the expected service life of the new concrete components of the widened bridge. This report provides a brief summary of the coating application process during construction followed by a report of a recent visual inspection performed at the five-year point in service.
Vinyl Ester based lining systems are a proven commodity as a corrosion control technology in Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Systems . The problem is they have proven to be alternatively successful or unsuccessful. The “how to” of receiving a good system is in learning the way a lining system works and the correct methods of application, so that a proper specification can be prepared.
Increasingly demanding environmental regulations for industrial maintenance coatings have put pressure on manufacturers and users of both solvent borne and waterborne coating systems. The lowering of volatile organic compound (VOC) levels to as low as 100g/L is being considered for industrial maintenance coatings in many regions of the country and has already been implemented in the South Coast Air Quality Management District region of California.
This paper describes the recoating of the interior primary and secondary structural steel of an atmospherically exposed building that houses a solid waste transfer station. The basic chemistry and the benefits of moisture cured polyurethane coatings in cold and humid climates are discussed.
The choice of technologies is influenced by factors such as material cost, labor cost, regulatory conditions, surface preparation requirements, application conditions, time available for work, environmental exposure, warranties and expected lifetime of the coating. Older technologies such as alkyds may still perform adequately in some applications.
This presentation will compare and contrast several anti-corrosive tidal zone coatings developed under a Navy SBIR program. Requirements for the coating included no VOC’s, surface tolerance to chlorides and water, fast cure to avoid washout by tides and waves, and thick build properties. Various trials of the material on dock sheet pilings and cooling tower fallout zones will be illustrated as well as accelerated lab test data.
Odor control systems are critical to handling and treating foul air in wastewater collection systems and treatment plants. However, odor control systems do not stop corrosion related to biogenic sulfide formation of sulfuric acid as some engineers would have you believe. Conversely if you have an odor problem you also typically have a corrosion problem, and each problem requires separate control strategies.
This paper will address conditions assessment, test procedures and criteria necessary to make informed decisions on overcoating or not overcoating an aged coating system. It will cover rating of adhesion and film integrity, determination of overcoating risk factors and a selection process for appropriate overcoat systems.
