Advances in Mechanical Surface Preparation

Product Number: 41212-663-SG

Author: Kumar Balan

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The coatings industry is very familiar with shot/grit blasting as a mechanical means of surface preparation. Over the years, operators have worked with manual and automatic blast equipment with its associated dust collection arrangements. The industry is highly competitive, and control on operating costs is critical. Therefore, coaters are always on the lookout for ways to tune their process by lowering costs and increasing productivity.

Aerogel Additives for Next Generation of Water Borne Insulative Coatings

Product Number: 41212-671-SG

Author: Dhaval Doshi, Catherine Norwood, James Pidhurney

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Insulative coatings are prompting significant interest with increasing environmental and safety awareness and sensitivity to energy efficiency. Aerogels are the best thermal insulators in the world. Cabot’s aerogel has a thermal conductivity of 12mW/m-K (compared to still air or PU foam at 26mW/m-K) and is currently being used extensively in day lighting and oil & gas applications.

Air Barrier Testing of Concrete Masonry Assemblies and the Effect of Surface Coatings on Air Permanence

Product Number: 41212-685-SG

Author: Nicholas Lang, Jason Thompson

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Model building codes and standards have begun adopting new energy efficiency requirements for building envelopes, including more quantifiable assessment of the air permeance characteristics of the materials and assemblies used in the building envelope. This research effort was initiated to understand and quantify the air leakage mechanisms of single wythe concrete masonry construction, which is commonly used in exterior building envelopes.

Air Barriers 101: Basic Theory and Design

Product Number: 41206-238-SG

Author: John Edgar

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Research conducted at OakRidge National Laboratories in Oak Ridge, TN, National Research Council Canada, and many other institutions around the world have shown that controlling airflow through the building envelope is more important and effective in reducing heat loss and moisture transport than controlling vapor diffusion.

Air-Drying Waterborne One-Pack Coatings For Corrosion Protection

Product Number: 41213-767-SG

Author: Michaela Zirngast, Roland Feola, Florian Lunzer

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Corrosion can seriously damage the substrate and can lead to significant repair or replacement costs. Good corrosion protection for metal coatings is traditionally achieved through two component (2K) systems. However, they show certain disadvantages that do not exist for one component (1K) systems.

All Fouled Up’ - An Innovative Solution

Product Number: 41215-914-SG

Author: Kevin Morris

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Within the Wastewater Treatment process the growth of soft fouling materials (algae) create problems such as Total Suspended Solids issues, false BOD readings, clogged pumps, and reduced flow rates through the weirs of clarifiers. Furthermore, dead or dying algae can cause additional odor concerns. This phenomenon has cost municipalities and taxpayer’s untold amounts of money due to the required maintenance dollars spent to correct this problem.
