Embarking on an exploration of intriguing coating failures, where sophisticated analytical techniques are used to dig deep within the coating, fascinating and unexpected discoveries can sometimes occur. In some instances, akin to an archaeological dig where great excitement and trepidation may be aroused at the discovery of a mummy, the forensic evaluation of coating failures can sometimes lead to a "chemical mummy" and a curse for those held responsible for its presence. In other instances, the mummy is easily recognized as a structure where the state of its wrappings provide an interesting clue as to what lies beneath as the wrappings are unwound. Using select case histories that highlight the ingenious and sleuthful approach of investigators, this paper presents the unearthing of peculiar happenings in the coating’s world where "The Curse of the Mummy" is, after the fact, all too apparent.

Powder Coating - Contract Metal Finishing; How to Avoid Premature Coating Failures

Product Number: 41208-406-SG
Author: Michael W. Cravens
Publication Date: 2008
$20.00

Every year millions of dollars are spent litigating the responsibility issues associated with the repair or replacement of coated products that have prematurely lost their decorative or protective value due to improper coating specification or application. Many of these failures could have been avoided if the proper finishing materials and methods were specified, followed, certified and documented.

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.

(Coating Formulation) Coatings on the Edge of Forever

Product Number: 12-COAT_DEC21
Author: Carl Reed / Kat Coronado
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

A continuing problem with coatings applied to sharp edges of a structure is the corrosion that often develops at the apex of the edge. The conventional wisdom is that the reduction of film thickness, due to coating pulling away at the edge during the curing of the coating, is the primary cause for the onset of corrosion. This theory, however, is not necessarily correct, both from a mechanistic and practical point of view.
