Angles and Demons in the Realm of Protective Coatings: The Underworld of VOCs

Product Number: 41211-636-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, V.J. Datta,

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Ours is an age of stringent VOC regulations and one of the positive responses from coating formulators has been the advent of innovative high solids coatings that contain exempt solvents. While proper surface preparation for applying lining systems has always been crucial to long term coating success our field experience has shown that this is all the more the case with coatings formulated with one or more exempt solvents.

Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) Regulatory Update and Forecast

Product Number: 41211-599-SG

Author: David Darling

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Keeping track of the constantly evolving Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) regulations in the United States is a daunting task. Forecasting what these regulations might like in the future is even more difficult. However, both are important given concerns over compliance and green product formulations. The following is a historical perspective of why the VOC content of AIM products is regulated, overview of current regulations and a 5-year forecast of AIM regulations in the US.

Balancing Act: Principles of Design and Formulation for Waterborne Acrylic DTM Coatings

Product Number: 51217-077-SG

Author: Leo Procopio, Laura Vielhauer

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Achieving high performance with waterborne acrylic latex DTM coatings often requires a balancing act to be performed by both the polymer scientist designing the latex polymer and the coating scientist formulating the coating. A successful coating is defined by a set of critical properties while in the paint can, during application, and ultimately in its performance throughout its service life.

Benefits Exhibited by Styrene Free Coating Technology

Product Number: 41216-961-SG

Author: Razi Anwer, Mike Durbin

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Styrenated Unsaturated Polyester & Vinyl Ester coatings are accepted for use in chemical immersion tank linings. The primary advantage is the increased chemical resistance to harsh commodities and fast turnaround time compared to epoxy coatings. However, styrene is becoming heavily regulated due to its safety and health concerns.

California’s Architectural Coatings Surveys

Product Number: 41207-319-SG

Author: Monique Spears Davis

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

In California, local air districts have regulations that limit the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of architectural coatings. The California Air Resources Board (ARB) provides assistance to local districts when developing regulations. This assistance includes developing Suggested Control Measures which serve as model rules for local districts. ARB also provides assistance by conducting periodic surveys of coating manufacturers to gather data on all of the architectural coatings sold in California during a particular year.

Comparison of Zero VOC Xylene Substrates as Replacements for Xylene and Toluene

Product Number: 41215-920-SG

Author: David Pasin, Diego Lopez Arias

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Xylene and Toluene are used in the formulation of plastics, coatings, composites, and paints. However, Toluene is designated as a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), and Xylene is designated as both a HAP and an emitter of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). HAPs and VOCs are hazardous to human health and the environment and regulators are increasingly restricting their emission.

Construction Drying’ The Economic and Environmental Benefits

Product Number: 41215-909-SG

Author: Mark D. Lebeck, Bruce A. Funderburgh

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Construction drying and climate control for major projects including Mission Critical Campuses (Data Centers), Healthcare/Institutional Facilities, and Major Construction/Retrofit Opportunities have become a necessity and not a luxury. Quick turnaround and timely completion have proven to be huge economic factors to facility owners, general contractors, and specialized subcontractors alike. Mission Critical Campus and Healthcare/Institutional Facility Construction specifically are on the rise, which is creating additional challenges for the construction teams.

Creating More Sustainable Industrial Coatings: Driving VOCs of High Performance Waterborne Direct-to-Metal Coatings Below 50 g/L

Product Number: 41215-923-SG

Author: Bridget Dombroski, Mary Kate McCrea, Leo J. Procopio

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Lowering the volatile organic content (VOC) of industrial coatings has become a requirement in many reformulation and new coating development efforts, oftentimes in order to meet increasingly strict regulations. Driving VOC to lower levels and performance to higher levels can also offer a more sustainable coatings solution for the end-user. Lowering VOC and maintaining (or improving upon) high performance is often the goal when developing a new formulation, but the two objectives can be at odds with each other.
