Evaluation of Coatings and Linings for Wastewater Environments

Product Number: 41207-362-SG

Author: Robert Murphy

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Many challenges face today's coatings specifiers in selecting high performance coatings and linings. New formulations are being developed to meet changing performance needs and also future VOC requirements. Evaluation of these "new" coatings and linings can be difficult. It is the purpose of this paper to look at past, current and future coating evaluation methods in order to develop a testing protocol that can be used to assist in the selection of high performance coatings and linings for wastewater environments.

Evaluation of Resistance to Cracking of Concrete Repair Materials

Product Number: 41207-300-SG

Author: Frank Apicella, Fred Goodwin

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Cracking of concrete repair materials is a critical factor affecting the service life of a repaired structure. Cracks in repair materials provide a pathway for moisture to carry deleterious materials into the concrete and accelerate corrosion of imbedded reinforcement. Existing cracks can also fill with water and cause further crack propagation as well as accelerated deterioration due to freezing and thawing conditions.

Extending the Function of Concrete as a Cladding Material

Product Number: 41207-299-SG

Author: Lorella Angelini

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

“Tilt-up" is a state-of-the-art building system in which steel reinforced concrete panels are cast on site and tilted up into their final position. The tilt-up panels are load bearing and also function as cladding elements. With the exceptions of integrally colored concrete, tilt-up concrete panels can look bare and unattractive if a finish is not applied. It is also well known that concrete is not a “perfect” material as it shows porosity and micro-cracks which can lead to deterioration over time.

Exterior Painting Restoration

Product Number: 41207-325-SG

Author: Robert Dufort

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

The repair and restoration of deteriorated wood siding, trim, and ornamental plaster on the exteriors of older buildings is one of the cornerstones of what is called a “Painting Restoration”. From the symptoms of paint failure, one can determine the underlying causes, and then decide upon the proper cures.

Factors Determining the Size of Projects

Product Number: 41207-304-SG

Author: Ralph Baliunas, Louis G. Lyras

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This paper identifies the problems with large multi-year painting projects and discusses the benefit to Facility Owners and Contractors for breaking a large bridge project into smaller phases. It will also discuss factors that determine the optimum size, large or small, of a painting project and their impacts. The size of a project will be analyzed from the standpoint of money, time, insurance, bonding, manpower, inspection, management, bridge inventory and job quality.

Factors Influencing Anchor Profile

Product Number: 41207-313-SG

Author: Ken Barnett, Richard A. Burgess

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Anchor profile achieved during field blast cleaning operations is often found to be deeper than expected, even when available information suggests the size of the abrasive selected was appropriate. Three parameters long identified as influencing anchor profile depth were evaluated under laboratory conditions.

Failure to Accept an ‘or Equal’ - Valid Restriction or Restraint of Trade

Product Number: 41207-389-SG

Author: L. Skip Vernon, Peter N. Ralston

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This paper addresses the general rules and principles under federal and select state law1 (California and Michigan) surrounding the use of brand name or “or equal” clauses in public procurement. Specifically, it focuses on the prohibitions or restrictions upon solicitation provisions that favor one contractor over another, or one product over another, through the use of a brand name or “or equal” provision in the solicitation.

Feasibility Evaluation of Rapid Cure Coating for Ship’s Water Ballast Tank

Product Number: 41207-382-SG

Author: Seong-Mo Son, Mong-Kyu Chung, Ki-Hong Kim, Chil-Seok Shin, Jea-Jin Baek ,Kwang-Ki Baek

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

In new shipbuilding industries, conventional solvent-born coatings require longer curing period at low temperature season, which creates the needs for fast curing coatings to meet work schedule. In this study, several kinds of solvent free rapid cure epoxy coatings and polyurea coatings were evaluated in terms of feasibility for ship’s water ballast tanks (WBT).

Fluoro-Urethanes Coatings with Extreme Exterior Durability

Product Number: 41207-314-SG

Author: Liza Capino

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Performance properties of solvent-based urethane topcoats formulated with fluorinated polymers are reviewed. Fluoro-urethanes offer outstanding gloss and color retention, good chemical resistance, and excellent adhesion. The long coating service life of fluoro-urethanes reduces the frequency of maintenance work and subsequent downtime interruption.

Formulated Didecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Bicarbonate/Carbonate (DDABC), a Multi- Metal Corrosion Inhibitor with Relevance to Commercial Surface Preparation and Coatings Technologies

Product Number: 41207-306-SG

Author: Thomas C. Bedard, T. David Burleigh, Joseph Kimler

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

A new water-soluble quaternary ammonium compound, didecyldimethylammonium bicarbonate/carbonate (DDABC), has been evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor via standard electrochemical tests on steel and shown to be highly effective. At the proper dilution, the inhibitor migrates to the metal/solution interface and forms a monomolecular film on the anodic sites.
