National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Prep and Coatings (SP&C) Panel Project: Final Report: Reducing Inspection Costs Using the Latest Digital inspection Tools

Product Number: 51216-019-SG

Author: Joesph Walker

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) is an industry-led, Navy-sponsored collaboration of U.S. shipyards working together to reduce the cost of building, operating and repairing Navy ships by improving productivity and quality through advanced technology and processes. In 2014 the NSRP Surface Preparation & Coatings Panel obtained approval from the Executive Control Board for funding of a project that would evaluate the latest in digital coating inspection instruments and their potential for cost savings in the inspection of Navy vessels.

National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coatings (SP&C) Panel 2015 Updated

Product Number: 41215-924-SG

Author: Arcino Quiero, Jr.

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

The paper is an overview of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SP&C) mission to reduce the cost of construction, maintenance, and repair of US Navy ships. The Panel’s “Specs to Decks” approach; research, evaluate, develop, and sustain current and emerging technologies that will reduce cost and maintain or enhance quality, serves as a rudder that guides the Panel’s performance.

Partial Blast of Ultra High Solids Coatings on Navy Ships

Product Number: 51217-024-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

The NSRP Surface Preparation and Coatings panel sponsored a project to reduce the extent of abrasive blasting to remove aged, ultra-high solids coatings from tanks and other spaces on Navy ships. This “partial blast” process allows a percentage of remaining serviceable Ultra High Solids (UHS) to remain. After surface preparation, a single coat application of UHS coating is applied to all surfaces.

Retention of Pr-Construction Primers During Shipbuilding

Product Number: 41211-586-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Pre-construction Primer (PCP) is a zinc-containing, weld-through primer applied at low thickness to minimize rusting of steel during storage and fabrication. PCP removal is perceived to reduce risk of coating failure associated with painting over an aged zinc primer. PCP is retained in many commercial shipbuilding operations in order to reduce costs and provide a better performing coating system. This paper will review commercial industry practices and the guidance provided by marine coating manufacturers.

Self-Stratifying Environmentally Friendly Alkyd Coatings

Product Number: 51216-005-SG

Author: Ryan R. Salata, Mark D. Soucek.

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The current process for coating large metal substrates, such as the decks of naval ships, requires pretreatment, primer, and topcoat steps. Developing a coating that can combine these steps into one would significantly reduce the labor costs and application time, which are significantly more expensive than the coating itself. This research shows the development of a self-stratifying alkyd coating.

Seven Ways Plural-Component Spraying Equipement Provides Savings and Improves Performance

Product Number: 51220-258-SG

Author: John Lihwa

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Plural-component coatings have historically presented numerous challenges for contractors, with significant material, time, and labor costs tied to mixing two or more components prior to application. After the components are mixed, logistics issues can also arise, with limited time available to apply the coating.

Small Expense, Big Reward - The Impact and Value of Quality Assurance Testing of Coatings for Hydraulic Steel Structures

Product Number: 41216-958-SG

Author: Brooke A. Divan, Rebekah Wilson, Miranda Etchison

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Quality Assurance (QA) paint testing is an important obligation of any paint manufacturer and/or end user. Each year, hundreds of batches slotted to be applied on US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) hydraulic steel structures around the country are submitted to be tested at the Engineering Research Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, Paint Technology Center (ERDC-CERL-PTC). A significant fraction of those samples fail.

Steel Grit Blasting Improves Productivity and Quality

Product Number: 51218-157-SG

Author: Mark Stewart, Nichole DeSantis

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

The Benefits of Steel Grit Blasting and Recycling was presented at the 2017 SSPC Conference. The white paper detailed the advantages of blasting with steel grit to clean a surface, remove rust, create a surface profile, and prepare a surface for coating. As a continuation, Steel Grit Blasting Improves Productivity and Quality has been written to inform contractors the purity the steel grit holds and contains once blasted on a steel structure and recycled through a four-stage cleaning process.
