New Developments in Surface Profile Measurement for Blast Cleaned Surfaces

Product Number: 41213-746-SG

Author: J F Fletcher

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

When protective coatings are to be applied to structures, it is important that the surface is clean and dry if premature failure of the coating is to be prevented and the full coating service life achieved. In many situations for both new build and repair of structures, blast cleaning of the surface is required to remove contamination and to create an anchor pattern to enhance the adhesion of the coating system to the substrate.

Novel Acrylic Epoxy Hybrid Coatings for Metal Protection Applications

Product Number: 41216-966-SG

Author: Zhenwen Fu, Henry Eichman, Bingquan Li, Denise Lindenmuth, Leo Procopio, Art Leman, Kiran Baikerikar, Jia Tang, Barry Zheng, Hunter Shu, Ian Li

A new acrylic epoxy hybrid (AEH) water based dispersion has been developed for two-components coating applications for several years. This new AEH dispersion can be used to replace the conventional water based epoxy dispersions for concrete and metal coatings. The curing agent selection for the new AEH dispersion is critical for metal applications for both formulation stability and the performance such as corrosion resistance, water resistance and UV durability. This paper discusses the utility of using ζ-potential and water solubility in curing agent selection.

On the Topographical and Performance Effects of Underblasted and Reblasted Carbon Steel Substrate

Product Number: 51220-278-SG

Author: Carl Reed, Kat Coronado, Heather Cui

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

In this study, the effect on coating corrosion resistance after remediating an under-blasted then remediated to standard preparation is undertaken. In this work, it is proposed to under-blast one set of panels (~1 mil profile), blast to standard one set of panels (~3 mil profile) and remediate to standard a set of under-blasted panels (from ~1 mil profile to ~ 3 mil profile).

Paint Inspection From the Coating Manufacturer’s Perspective

Product Number: 41215-894-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel, Bruce Snyder

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), often referred to as inspection, is critical to the success of a protective coating or lining project. Several parties can and do get involved in inspection including the owner, specifier, third party inspector, general contractor, painting contractor, equipment supplier, and coating manufacturer.

Pull-Off Adhesion Strength Testing of Lining Systems on Concrete: A Review of the Various Direct Tensil Test Methods Used for Severe Service

Product Number: 41216-992-SG

Author: Vaughn O’Dea1, Cory Brown, Anthony Dallen

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Tensile pull-off adhesion testing is becoming a more frequent specification requirement for in situ quality assurance testing to confirm proper surface preparation and adhesion of high performance protective linings applied to concrete. It is also becoming a widely used test for forensic analysis of protective linings in existing installations. There have been numerous investigations leading to the development of different devices and test pull-off adhesion methods used to assess bond strengths of mortars and overlay materials

Pull-Off Adhesion Testing of Coatings - Improve Your Technique

Product Number: 41215-893-SG

Author: JF Fletcher, DJ Barnes

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Pull-off adhesion testing is widely used to assess the protective coating process. It is also used to determine if a coating is fit for service in new construction and for repairs to existing structures. The result is often critical to the acceptance or rejection of a coating process, as the adhesion value quoted by the paint manufacturer can be adversely affected by aspects of the coating process. Low adhesion values are indicative of premature failure of the coating and are often due to inadequate surface preparation of the substrate.

Rapid Installation of Replacement Connection Plates on the County of Placer/Foresthill Road Bridge - A Novel Engineered Approach to a Unique Set of Challenges

Product Number: 41214-862-SG

Author: Raymond S. Tombaugh, John S. Quincy, Matt Randall

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

The seismic retrofitting of the County of Placer/Foresthill Road Bridge included replacing the gusset plates at the bolted connection points on the structure. Newly fabricated connection plates were prepared in the steel fabrication shop by abrasive blast cleaning and applying an inorganic zinc-rich primer. Existing connection plates were removed and the surfaces beneath abrasive blast cleaned and primed on-site with an organic (epoxy) zinc-rich primer. The connections were slip-critical.

Replica Tape- Relating 3 Surface Profile Parameters to Pull-Off Adhesion

Product Number: 41215-878-SG

Author: David Beamish

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Steel surfaces are frequently cleaned by abrasive impact prior to the application of protective coatings. The resultant surface profile must be accurately assessed to ensure compliance with job or contract specifications. But is profile height alone (the most commonly measured parameter) a good indicator of long-term coating performance?

Review Of Coating Current Test Methods For Simulating CUI Conditions And Introduction Of A New, Small Scale, Accelerated Test Method

Product Number: 51322-18173-SG

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Corrosion under Insulation (CUI) costs industry millions of dollars. Water ingress into conventional insulation systems can result in accelerated corrosion of the steel substrate w hich, if unchecked, will result in structural failure of the vessel or pipe. If the structure is operating under high pressure then this failure would be catastrophic. CUI can result in significant loss of revenue from downtime, maintenance and replacement of corroded structures.
