A Low VOC and Sprayable Siloxane Nonskid/Nonslip Coating for the U.S. Navy & Non-Military Markets

Product Number: 41214-826-SG

Author: Erick Iezzi, James Martin, John Wegand, Paul Slebodnick, James Tagert

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Qualified U.S. Navy nonskid coatings are two-component (2K) epoxy-based systems that contain various sizes of aggregate. Once mixed, these highly viscous coatings are applied using a napless roller to generate a “peak and valley” profile that provides skid/slip-resistance when cured. The roll-application process is slow and inconsistent, and appearance is often determined by experience of the applicator.

A New Film Thickness Gage With Built-in Temperature and Humidity Measurement

Product Number: 51220-293-SG

Author: Rick Trawick

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Currently, Ships’ Force (SF) conduct maintenance and repair painting during pier-side periods as well as while ships are underway. SF commonly use epoxy primers, such as MIL-DTL-24441, Type IV, for maintenance painting and in some cases, chloride contamination and surface profile is not adequately controlled. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) conducted a study to verify the efficacy of replacing the current epoxy primers commonly used by SF with more “user friendly” high-build, high-solid primers.

A New Protocol for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Coatings Used to Reduce Corrosion of Steel Structures

Product Number: 51220-295-SG

Author: Giri Venkiteela, Perumalsamy Balaguru

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Details of a new protocol for evaluating the effectiveness of coatings to reduce corrosion of steel structures is presented in this paper. Basic concepts of accelerated testing specified in American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards and recent research investigations were used to develop a procedure that can provide conclusive results within 2400 hours of exposure as compared to more than 5000 hours in current practices.

A New Water-Based PVDF System for Weatherable Coatings

Product Number: 41209-500-SG

Author: Jerry Petersheim

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)-based coatings are recognized by architects as a premium weatherable coating technology. They provide years of color and gloss retention along with corrosion protection. However, PVDF based coatings have been limited to factory-applied finishes on metal since the coatings require high-temperature processing.

A Novel Alternative Surface Preparation for Duplex Coating of Galvanized Steel

Product Number: 41213-783-SG

Author: Richard Schertzer

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

This paper details a novel surface preparation process that is suitable for Duplex coating of galvanized steel intended for a variety of atmospheric and embedded service applications. It provides all the properties necessary for excellent coating performance and longevity, including high adhesion, excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, and resistance to ingress of water, without the drawbacks associated with abrasive blasting, the traditional surface preparation method.

A Novel, 100% Solids, Zero VOC Coating System for Long Lasting and Maintenance Free Foul Release and Inhibition

Product Number: 41211-610-SG

Author: Russell Giudici

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Marine fouling is a significant problem in many industries. Since the ban of tributyl tin, a toxic additive prevalent in anti-fouling coatings, various new technologies have emerged to combat this problem. Silicone elastomers are a popular, non-toxic solution to fouling in numerous marine environments. These coatings, however, still incorporate volatile organic compounds (VOC) to aid in application and often require routine maintenance or recoating in approximately 5 years.

A Polished Concrete Floor - Start to Finish

Product Number: 41209-517-SG

Author: Mark B. Vogel

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

A polished concrete floor project can be a very rewarding experience, as well as a tough lesson. Experience in the field and following certain guidelines can make a job much more rewarding and cost effective. Cutting corners or a misdiagnosis of the floor itself and/or environment can yield disastrous and costly results. In this article, we will walk you through the basic steps along with a complete overview of polished concrete. We will examine all steps, including environment, concrete diagnosis, grinding, densifying, polishing, color, and of course, maintenance.

A Practical Approach to the Rehabilitation of a Wastewater Treatment Facility: Utilizing Case Histories to Demonstrate “Real-Life” Applications

Product Number: 41212-664-SG

Author: Gary R. Hall, Lake H. Barrett Jr., Pete J. Jansen

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Wastewater collection and treatment systems face a more serious corrosion problem today than in the past. There are several reasons for this, including odor control, reduced I&I, chemical composition of sewage, an increase in the retention time, and concrete that is not of the same quality as it was only 30 years ago.
