Self-Stratifying Coatings - The Next Generation in Performance

Product Number: 41211-585-SG
Author: Arun Asarawala, Pete Mackulin, Randy Krafcik, Dave Klimovich
Publication Date: 2011
$20.00

This paper will focus on the advancement of waterborne acrylic coatings that features self-stratifying technology which significantly advances performance of color and gloss retention. Various analytical methods were used to verify stratification. Magnified cross sections of the coating film will show the layered effect and discussion of how these multiple micro-paint layers outperform standard acrylics. An overview of performance testing will be presented to demonstrate the value of this technology and how it contributes to longer lifecycle costs and lower overall project costs.

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.

Sequential Combining of Ultraviolet Light and Salt Spray Stresses: Toward the Next Generation of Test Methods

Product Number: 51218-111-SG

Protective coatings exposed to sunlight must withstand multiple environmental stresses: ultraviolet light, moisture, heat, corrosive chlorides and other salts, and atmospheric pollutants. Two decades after the publication of a sequential UV and cyclic salt spray test method in ASTM D5894, some efforts to create better and more predictive test methods have focused on delivering both UV and salt spray in a single chamber and adding additional stresses such as ozone exposure, air pressure fluctuations, atmospheric pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, and other environmental factors.

For years, accelerated weathering test equipment has been utilized to showcase performance of coatings as a means to justify changing to new and “better” materials. While an accelerated weatherometer is useful in confirming a material’s performance, the results can be misleading in certain situations, resulting in misguided decisions based on a marketing department’s zeal to secure additional sales.

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.

High performance protective coatings are often failing in the severe headspace environments of wastewater environments. These failures are attributed to many factors including glow permeability properties to resist H2S and other corrosive gasses present within these environments. Although the chemical and physical properties of coating systems can be determined in the lab, this is not the case for application variables and the effects of environmental factors.

Discussion around the basics of shop-based air powered abrasive blasting, some of the criteria which should be considered when choosing a surface preparation method and ways to reduce costs associated with this process. Technologies and Industry Best Practices are often overlooked or circumvented in the name of tradition or cost savings- but the results of these choices can be very harmful. The conversation will be centered around taking steps to maintain or increase production, while increasing departmental profits.

There seems to be a trend for bridge owners to believe that applying all three coats of paint in the shop is more cost effective and will provide for a better coatings job on new steel. This paper will discuss the differences between shop coating and field painting and the pros and cons of shop applied coatings versus field applied coatings on new steel.
