The control, mitigation and prevention of corrosion in environments ranging from mildly corrosive to severe atmospheric conditions to underground exposures (such as pipelines) to chemical spill and fume exposures has long been focused on the use of thermosetting polymers such as epoxies, polyesters, vinyl esters and urethanes. For the most part these materials have worked reasonably well in applications such as structural steel and equipment coatings, architectural paints, vessel linings, concrete coatings, secondary containment linings, and floor toppings.

Recent polyurea resin technology advances have allowed for the development of value-added polyurea topcoats that are proving to be valuable alternatives for many polyurethane applications. The development of an SSPC specification for a weatherable polyurea topcoat is discussed for the purpose of providing a standard that will be acceptable throughout our industry.
Development of a ballast tank coating has its' challenges, providing a long term protective coating that can withstand the stress of operational life, whilst being applied in less than ideal conditions has always been the goal.
Shop and field conditions of high humidity and cool temperature during curing of amine-cured epoxy coatings can produce a haze or oily residue on the surface. This is commonly referred to as “amine blush.” The residue is caused by the presence of unreacted amine on the surface of the epoxy coating reacting with carbon dioxide and moisture in the air to form a carbamate.
The use of linings to rehabilitate concrete surfaces in water and wastewater environments has been increasing. This paper discusses the basics of concrete, concrete deterioration, and subsequent rehabilitation options, with an emphasis on coatings.
Improved holiday detection of new coatings in ballast tanks on Navy ships can increase the coating’s service life. This paper describes development of a fast, compact and portable holiday detector based on imaging of fluorescent coatings.
Published percent volume solids data have been used for years by painting contractors,vcoating manufacturers, and inspectors to calculate the target wet film thickness to apply.
The subject paper presents updated inspection data from a Federal Highway Administration study of the effect of local environments on the degradation of alternative bridge coating materials. Exposure data covers up to nine years of service in several diverse environments, including sites representative of marine, industrial, and rural service environments. Paint deterioration is characterized as the result of local atmospheric parameters, time of wetness, and airborne contaminants
This paper gives an update on the latest developments of the new generation of waterborne Polyurethane Topcoats (PU topcoats) for flooring which were presented during the annual SSPC meeting October 2003. Topcoats are commonly used in the construction industry over functional floor coatings or as sealers for concrete.
Advances in technology have brought forth a new generation of Concrete Grinding equipment and accessories to reduce the labor hours to level a slab, prepare the surface and to optimize the surface profile for the specific coatings popular today. Understanding and applying these technology advances can greatly impact the tool selection for the job at hand.
Prompted by requests from Specifiers and Steel Shop Fabricators, a Non-Zinc coating has been developed that has attained a Class B Slip Coefficient rating and therefore can be applied to faying surfaces of slip-critical bolted connections. Results show that this product offers fast dry times and excellent corrosion resistance.
On November 1, 2000, the National Football League named the city of Jacksonville, Florida as the site for the 2005 Super Bowl. It wasn’t long before the Florida Department of Transportation was contacted to help the city “spruce up” the Main Street Bridge for the occasion.
