An Overview of Petrographic Examination of Concrete as Related to Polymer Floor Coating Failures

Product Number: 41213-727-SG

Author: Jon Asselanis

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Often when a polymer coating failure occurs, the concrete quality and integrity are questioned. Core samples removed from the concrete slab are examined using petrographic techniques to help determine the cause of the coating failure. The basics of the petrographic examination, the equipment used and what information it can provide are presented.

An Overview of Water Leakage Paths into Exterior Walls

Product Number: 41206-249-SG

Author: Kurt R. Hoigard, Garth D. Hall

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Water leakage into exterior wall construction is one of the principal causes of damage and deterioration to facade materials and underlying construction. This paper discusses the basic approaches currently used to keep water out of buildings and their relationship to several common exterior wall systems.

An Update and Review of Offshore Systems and Current Testing Scenarios

Product Number: 41206-266-SG

Author: Mike Mitchell

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Offshore coating systems have evolved over the past 50 years to allow for restrictions in raw material use and solvent emissions. This has meant that many tried and tested systems can no longer be used. This paper describes the industry in terms of attempts to generate suitable prequalification testing scenarios which will prevent premature failures of untried new systems

Analysis of Coating Blister Failures and Associated Coating and Substrate Risks

Product Number: 51220-254-SG

Author: Michael Kibler, Patrick Cassidy, Jay Ong

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Blistering is a common failure in marine coatings that can be caused by both physical, such as osmotic pressure and temperature gradients, and electrochemical forces like cathodic or anodic polarization. This paper/presentation will start by discussing the various mechanisms that lead to coating blistering, how blisters form, and how to prevent them.

Angles and Demons in the Realm of Protective Coatings: The Underworld of VOCs

Product Number: 41211-636-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, V.J. Datta,

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Ours is an age of stringent VOC regulations and one of the positive responses from coating formulators has been the advent of innovative high solids coatings that contain exempt solvents. While proper surface preparation for applying lining systems has always been crucial to long term coating success our field experience has shown that this is all the more the case with coatings formulated with one or more exempt solvents.

Anticorrosive Zn Free Pigments: Their Performance

Product Number: 41214-834-SG

Author: Ricard March

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Anticorrosive pigments are key compounds in coating formulations to protect the metallic substrates on which coatings are applied. As these products are subjected to an increasing demand for more sustainable products, new ranges of zinc-free anticorrosive pigments are being developed.

Appearance Technology for Coatings

Product Number: 41210-566-SG

Author: Paul Vinik, Frank D. Rea

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

The appearance a coating provides can sometimes be just as important as is protective properties. Ever-growing budget concerns have increased the demand for coatings that provide a longer lasting aesthetic finish. This paper will explain the basic terminology, testing procedures, analytical instruments and specification development for coating color, gloss, reflectivity and other appearance parameters. The appearance characteristics of various coatings will also be discussed.

Application and Evaluation of Coatings Over Hot-Dipped Galvanizing

Product Number: 41215-938-SG

Author: Todd Williams, Ahren Olson, Kevin Irving

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Duplex coatings are used to protect galvanizing in harsh environments, provide aesthetics, and enhance corrosion protection. Surface preparation is critical to achieving long term performance, and abrasive blasting was found to be the most effective surface preparation technique.

Application Concerns and Practices for Applying Conductive and Static Dissipative Coating to Concrete

Product Number: 51216-007-SG

Author: Steven Schroeder

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Conductive and static dissipative floorings and coatings are designed to provide protection from electrical charges causing harm to work or products. This presentation is designed to familiarize you with the phenomenon of Static Electricity, how it is generated and its effects on industry. We will then discuss ways to alleviate or restrict problems associated with ESD by utilizing specialized conductive or static dissipative flooring and coating products. Specifically focused on the common conditions and design considerations required for a proper installation, including substrate requirements, grounding and strapping recommendations, and product selection criteria.

Application of Fluid Applied Linings in Concrete Secondary Containment Structures

Product Number: 41208-397-SG

Author: Chris Ard

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

This paper will focus on the application of polymeric coatings and linings, which include, but are not limited to, polyamine and novolac epoxies and vinyl esters. These materials are delivered to the job site in buckets or bags and are mixed and applied on-site, and it is the responsibility of the owner, engineer and material supplier to determine the type of material and coating system to specify for any particular project.
