Quest for the “20 Year” Coating

Product Number: 41208-458-SG

Author: Dannie L. Vickers

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Occasionally, the protective coatings on a structure reach a life span of 20 years. Quite often when this happens, one of the companies involved in the project, either the coating supplier or coating applicator, will publish pictures of the bridge or tank in a trade magazine as if the project was a great achievement. If instead, we accept the premise that most of the resins used to manufacture protective coatings easily remain stable for 20 years, we should ask ourselves the question, “why aren’t all of the coating systems lasting 20 years?”

Severe Wastewater Testing Programs for Rapid Evaluation of Coatings and Linings: An update

Product Number: 41208-438-SG

Author: Vaughn O’Dea

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

High performance protective coatings are often failing in the severe headspace environments of wastewater environments. These failures are attributed to many factors including glow permeability properties to resist H2S and other corrosive gasses present within these environments. Although the chemical and physical properties of coating systems can be determined in the lab, this is not the case for application variables and the effects of environmental factors.

The Atlanta Hyatt boasts 1,260 guest rooms and just over 180,000 square feet of ballroom and exhibit space. Using the construction technology and trends of the time, the exterior surfaces of the hotel were constructed of exposed river rock aggregate consolidated concrete walls. This was a popular building material, but one that often left gaps of uneven areas where the river rocks were not evenly distributed.
