Paints that Stick to Fluorocarbons: New Options for Repairs and Restoration

Product Number: 41208-444-SG

Author: Jerry Petersheim, Kurt Wood

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Well-formulated fluorocarbon paints can last for decades, but when repair is needed or a color change is desired, it can sometimes be a challenge to choose the right coating system to use on top of the fluorocarbon. This presentation will discuss new VOC-compliant options that have become available which not only stick to fluorocarbon paints, but also offer a quantum improvement in color fade resistance.

Polyasparartic Ester Finish Coats - A New Generation

Product Number: 41208-440-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, Ron Garrett, V.J. Datta, Justin Dunn

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Recent advances in the realm of polyaspartic ester finish coat technology have led to significant improvements in their aesthetic and corrosion resistance properties. Of particular interest is an initial comparison of the aesthetic properties of older and new generation polyaspartic ester finishes with both polyurethanes and isocyanate-free polysiloxane finishes.

Polyaspartic Coatings that Perform as Well as Polyurethane Coatings

Product Number: 41208-411-SG

Author: Beth Eng

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Polyaspartic coatings can offer excellent performance characteristics typically expected of SSPC Specification Number 36, Level 3, for Aliphatic Polyurethane Topcoats. In addition, polyaspartates will pass an industry standard for corrosion protection in medium corrosivity environments direct to metal. These features offer the typical industrial maintenance customer high performance for gloss and color retention, while reducing application time and costs.

Polyurea for Potable Water – Overcoming Structural Challenges for a Successful Waterproof Lining System

Product Number: 41208-410-SG

Author: Michael C. Durbin, Sue Schroeder

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

In the early 1900’s, a small community in the mountains of western Maryland, installed two potable water tanks that were open top and below grade. Over the years, they began leaking water into the basements of nearby residences, so several upgrades to the tanks were planned. The upgrades included the addition of metal dome roofs, electronic security systems with fencing, and a waterproof lining system. Contractors were invited to view the facility and bid the lining system while the tanks were still in service – first mistake

Polyurea Geomembranes for Primary Containment over Concrete

Product Number: 41208-429-SG

Author: Robert M. Loomis, Sean D. Boeger

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Application of conventional coatings directly to concrete tanks is a common practice for the primary containment of liquids. Substituting the application of polyurea geomembranes in lieu of conventional methods exhibits a significant reduction in application time with regard to certain surface rehabilitation, surface preparation, and priming of substrates. Polyurea geomembranes are high performance liners designed for various reasons that include, but are not limited to, protection of the environment from pollution and hazardous materials or protection of the lining’s contents from vessel contamination.

Polyurea Geomembranes High Performance Seamless Liners

Product Number: 41208-430-SG

Author: Robert M. Loomis

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Although polyurea geomembranes have been successfully used in the market for several years, technical information and performance evaluations are virtually nonexistent. Furthermore, when referring to construction specifications for polyurea geomembranes, physical properties of the coating and geotextile are listed rather than those of the geomembrane. Polyurea geomembranes have unique properties, and they deserve the same comprehensive testing and reporting as the components used to form them.

Powder Coating - Contract Metal Finishing; How to Avoid Premature Coating Failures

Product Number: 41208-406-SG

Author: Michael W. Cravens

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Every year millions of dollars are spent litigating the responsibility issues associated with the repair or replacement of coated products that have prematurely lost their decorative or protective value due to improper coating specification or application. Many of these failures could have been avoided if the proper finishing materials and methods were specified, followed, certified and documented.

Preservation of the U.S.S. Monitor Project Hampton Roads Chapter of the SSPC

Product Number: 41207-302-SG

Author: Charlie Ayres

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

On March 8, 1862 in Hampton Roads, Virginia the first iron clad vessel on the seas, the CSS Virginia (known to Northerners as the Merrimac), had its way with the navy of the Union. It was able to sail unmolested among the ships of the Union Navy and fire at will while taking hits itself with impunity. When dusk arrived the Virginia went to anchorage to wait for sunrise when it could inflict more damage.

Preventive Maintenance in Older Facilities

Product Number: 41208-462-SG

Author: Bruce Woodruff

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Many industries are operating under severely limited O&M budgets and have been for some time. “Lean and mean” in today’s reality has become “mal-nourished and over stressed”. The last major corrosion study conducted in our industry showed a $276 Billion/Yr. deficit of which 75% was unrecoverable. Now a new study has determined that it is never too late to restore measurable viability to a facility's operation through adequate and proper preventive maintenance. This is good news, providing we can adequately demonstrate and use it.

Project Management: Antennas and Water Tanks Can Co-Exist

Product Number: 41208-464-SG

Author: Daniel J. Zienty

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Over the years, construction of telecommunication sites on municipal buildings and water storage facilities have become commonplace. Installations and upgrades of telecommunication sites, from the planning phase to activation, can extend over multiple years creating an unpredictable construction season. Careful planning with extreme ambient conditions on either side of the spectrum has become a standard in the industry.
