Aluminum Corrosion & Corrosion Prevention in a Seacoast Atmospheric Environment

Product Number: 51219-222-SG

Author: Kenneth B. Tator

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Aluminum, after iron is the second -most widespread metal used on earth. Unpainted aluminum forms a protective aluminum oxide layer over the pure aluminum metal alloy and, in most atmospheric environments, is resistant to corrosion deterioration. However, pure aluminum is virtually always alloyed with other metallic elements to enhance its properties, primarily to increase its strength, but also to improve its formability, weldability, machineability, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance.

Ambient Curing and Thermosetting of Polyurea and Polyurethane Castable Liner

Product Number: 41210-524-SG

Author: Dustin Le, Mike Babiarz

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

For the last several decades, polyurethane/polyurea spray-applied elastomeric coatings have gained market acceptance as durable, and long-lasting protective coatings. With the advances of the high-pressure impingement spray equipment technology during mid-to-late 1980’s, fast setting, two component polyurethane/polyurea coatings finally have a fighting chance in the protective coatings market.

An Air Barrier System in Cambridge

Product Number: 41206-264-SG

Author: Michael F. MeLampy

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences Center project is a premier example of a liquid applied air barrier being used as a critical high-performance component within a building envelope for environmental control. This building is designed not only to be a world class research center, but also as a monument and landmark for Cambridge and MIT. Within the rapidly growing air barrier industry, liquid-applied systems have proven to be one of the prime choices for both designers and contractors in prestigious projects like this one.

An Analysis of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Ultra Long-Life Coating Systems for Water Storage Tanks

Product Number: 41207-324-SG

Author: Michael L. Doolittle

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Alkyds, the much-trusted coatings of the past were summarily replaced by the superior performance of the polyurethane coatings. The polyurethanes were then supplemented by the polyurethane with clear coat and the polyurethane with UV protector. These coatings promised a twenty-year life and resistance to fading. But now, those coatings are being challenged by the newcomer on the block, the ultra-high performance coatings which are promoted to perform well for up to thirty years.

An Architect’s Call for Paint Standards

Product Number: 41212-706-SG

Author: Walter Scarborough

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The presentation will describe the frustrations and problems architects experience because of insufficient or non-existent standards governing architectural coating materials and practices. Areas where standards need to be written or upgraded will be named and discussed.

An Introduction To Low Pressure, Ambient Temperature Polyurea Spraying

Product Number: 41211-616-SG

Author: Stephen Hirt

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

The purpose of this presentation is to introduce you to low-pressure, ambient temperature spraying of polyurea and to discuss the advantages of low-pressure spray equipment. Some of the inherent advantages are equipment cost, ease of use, less over-spray, and equipment mobility. This presentation will be divided into several key areas. We will examine features and benefits, general equipment specifications, capabilities, operation of the system, typical periodic maintenance requirements and examples of available options.

An Optically Active Coating System for Coating Ballast Tanks

Product Number: 41205-156-SG

Author: Earl Bowry, Miles Buckhurst

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Development of a ballast tank coating has its' challenges, providing a long term protective coating that can withstand the stress of operational life, whilst being applied in less than ideal conditions has always been the goal.

An Organometallic Ester Corrosion Inhibitor for Use in Direct-to-Metal Acrylic Paints

Product Number: 41212-681-SG

Author: John E. Hughes

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Traditionally, the light industrial/general maintenance paint systems involved a primer along with multiple coats of acrylic finish paint to achieve acceptable corrosion resistance over mild steel substrates. The new Direct-To-Metal (DTM) acrylic paints are formulated to eliminate the primer and perform as a primer and as a tough finish coat in a single paint, reducing the time and materials needed for complete coverage

An Ounce of Prevention... The Reliability of Field Methods for Detecting the Presence of Amine Blush on Epoxy Coatings

Product Number: 41205-190-SG

Author: Michael Orzechowski

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Shop and field conditions of high humidity and cool temperature during curing of amine-cured epoxy coatings can produce a haze or oily residue on the surface. This is commonly referred to as “amine blush.” The residue is caused by the presence of unreacted amine on the surface of the epoxy coating reacting with carbon dioxide and moisture in the air to form a carbamate.

An Overview and Comparison of Surface Cleanliness Standards for the Protective Coatings Industry

Product Number: 41216-965-SG

Author: Nico Frankhuizen

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

At present multiple standards on blast-cleaned surfaces are in use depending on region and specifications of the project. However, most standards are relatively clear on the description of a surface some overlap each other. These overlaps are often considerate as the norm for the most comparisons between ISO and related documents, however, sometimes are significantly off. Some of these documents will be highlighted to compare the results and their impact on the coating job.
