Due to very severe conditions at offshore, conventional coatings do not work as they require multicoats to acquire high thickness and their curing times are rather high, giving chances for the contamination by severe environment (high RH and salt) in the intermediate layers. Thus, modern coatings which can give larger thickness in just one single coat and cure in a few minutes time are required for critical applications such as splash zone which is marred by continuous dry and wet spell.

Does the decreasing VOC levels and the increasing restrictions mean lower profits for the coating contractor? Not necessarily. Today, there are new very low VOC, and evenzero VOC, coatings that meet performance standards of the more traditional coatings withwhich we are accustom to using.
Who can benefit from a coatings program? Owners? Coating Manufacturers? Services Contractors? The answer is really - everyone. Developing Goals, Strategies, and Action Plans will reduce your workload and provide for continuous improvement.
Bis-Phenol A epoxy resin-based coatings are known for excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. Limitations of this class of coatings are poor flexibility, thermal stability and weather resistance. Traditional siloxane resins are commonly used in the industry to improve the thermal and weather resistance of bis-Phenol A epoxy coatings. In addition, organo-functional silicone polymers have been used to provide improved flexibility, but create recoatability issues.
Improved selection of testing protocols for corrosion coatings, along with proper interpretation of the results, allows for a better representation of how coatings will perform in service. A review of several types of corrosive service environments is presented, including the testing normally performed, along with a more in depth look at how to quantify performance variables in a rating system based on individual test results.
This paper provides an overview of the Spray-applied Fire Resistant Materials and intumescent mastic materials used to protect structural steel in commercial and industrial buildings and structures. Intumescent fireproofing materials are specifically discussed including the initial testing by UL, their listings, uses, applications and inspection in the field
Regulations limiting Volatile Organic Content (VOC) have led to increased interest in solvent-free epoxy coatings, but the use of these coatings can give significant performance advantages and not just environmental compliance.
The surface properties of metals can be modified by using thin hybrid coatings without changing the metallic look of the surface. These properties include for example anti-fouling, abrasive resistance and corrosion resistance.
The U.S. Navy spends tens of millions of dollars each year repairing failed coatings on its ships and submarines. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the National Surface Treatment Center (NST Center) have developed and implemented a process to assess preservation work being conducted by both public and commercial shipyards and the Navy’s Supervisor of Shipbuilding commands
People have been spraying two-component materials for decades. Some processes are very rudimentary, such as mixing by hand and brushing the material on the surface. More recent techniques would be impingement mixing the material (using air to force the materials together and then spraying the material on the surface).
Pacific Northwest contractor faces numerous obstacles during the application of 100,000 square feet of high density fireproofing, but uses knowledge to answer challenges as well as critics.
Two-Coat zinc-rich primed systems with a fast-dry topcoat were evaluated for their potential to replace the conventional three-coat zincrich/epoxy/polyurethane bridge coating systems for rapid field deployment.
