Product Number: 41206-281-SG

Author: Bart Rinaldi

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

An understanding of the relationship between color and our environment remains an area in which much research has been conducted; yet, we are ever fascinated with the topic of color and the nuances it has yet to unfold. Our work aims to begin a dialogue regarding color trends, color application in an environment, the psychological impact of color and an understanding of the balance between these philosophies.

Application of the STEM Program to Corrosion Engineering

Product Number: 51217-040-SG

Author: Thomas Enger

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

In the 1990’s, the National Science Foundation realized that the United States needed to combine science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into a single effort. So, they created the acronym “STEM” to describe the application of those combined disciplines in both education and in the workplace, in order to help solve the country’s most difficult technological problems. Several population segments have been targeted for STEM learning and application.

Application Study on the Performance of Polyurethane Paint as a Green Coat Using Biobased Coconut Polyol Resin for Protective, Marine and Industrial Coatings

Product Number: 41211-602-SG

Author: Luis G. Fernando

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

This paper describes the performance properties of coconut-based polyol resin used in polyurethane coating systems compared with commercially available polyurethane paints which use petroleum-based acrylic or polyester polyol resins, in terms of physical and corrosion properties under accelerated laboratory weather conditions. The studies also show the chemical resistance and protection properties from the discoloration effects of ultraviolet (UV) light on the painted metal test panel substrate specifically cold rolled steel.

Applying Common Sense to Moisture Vapor Emissions and Moisture Content Test Requirements When Coating Below Grade Concrete Structures in Wastewater Applications

Product Number: 41216-989-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

When establishing the minimum conditions suitable for coating concrete, many coating manufacturers, and hence specifying engineers and contractors, generally rely on unrealistic moisture content and moisture vapor emission rate requirements. These compulsory values are founded on laboratory testing rather than field experience, or worse still, on supposition rooted in unachievable and unrelated requisites.

Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) Regulatory Update and Forecast

Product Number: 41211-599-SG

Author: David Darling

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Keeping track of the constantly evolving Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) regulations in the United States is a daunting task. Forecasting what these regulations might like in the future is even more difficult. However, both are important given concerns over compliance and green product formulations. The following is a historical perspective of why the VOC content of AIM products is regulated, overview of current regulations and a 5-year forecast of AIM regulations in the US.

Are You Restricted by Your Total Solar Reflectance Performance?

Product Number: 41213-749-SG

Author: Ian Goodwin

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Cool coatings can play an important role in reducing global energy consumption and increasing interior comfort. They do this by minimizing solar absorption on a surface whilst maximizing thermal emission. Used in this way, a cool coating is able to reduce the flow of heat from the exterior coated surface into the building, resulting in lower internal temperatures.

ASSESSMENT OF NOVEL COATINGS IN COMPARISON TO CONVENTIONAL ZINC-RICH COATING FOR BRIDGE APPLICATION

Product Number: 51218-105-SG

Author: Md Ahsan Sabbir, Saiada Fuadi Fancy, Kingsley Lau, Dale DeFord

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Coatings are widely used to mitigate corrosion of structural steel in aggressive humid environments. Zinc-rich primer three-coat paint systems are widely used to mitigate corrosion of steel bridges. However, the associated costs of its required maintenance are high. As part of a research program, chemically bonded phosphate ceramics (CBPC), thermal diffusion galvanizing (TDG) and metallizing coatings along with the current 3-coat systems were exposed in outdoor conditions for up to 2 years and in salt-fog exposure for up to 14,600 hours.

Assessment of CBPC Coating in Wet Exposure

Product Number: 51216-004-SG

Author: Md Ahsan Sabbir, Kingsley Lau, Dale DeFord

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The performance of a Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramic (CBPC) coating was investigated for marine bridge application. Assessment of possible coating degradation and corrosion development was made by physical and electrochemical techniques. Passive-like conditions developed in the chloride-free solutions and formation of oxide product occurred in the chloride solutions. A large degree of oxide product formation throughout the non-scribed coating exposure surface area, consistent with the large, measured corrosion current, was indicative that the ceramic coating had poor barrier coating properties.
