The tower’s future looked bleak, but it was saved when local residents were successful in rallying for its restoration instead. Now, the colorful and newly coated tower welcomes everyone to the coastal Florida city.
Researchers and technology specialists in Denmark are working to develop a self-powered corrosion sensor to install inside steel-reinforced concrete structures, such as bridges.
A primer with ideal corrosion resistance and mechanical properties was developed by using waterborne saturated polyester, waterborne crosslinking agents, and Cr-Pb-free pigments and fillers with low-VOC content.
When the plant manager for a Florida oil and gas operating company discovered three holes in a sour crude oil tank, this emergency repair solution allowed the client to avoid total tank replacement.
Glass reinforced epoxy gaskets were a significant improvement over prior isolation technologies, such as phenolic gaskets, which were in use since the early 1900’s. GRE has now been used to isolate pipelines in a broad range of industries for close to 50 years.
The $1.4-billion plant expansion in Arlington, Texas, USA, includes new robotics procedures and superior coating technologies, which are designed to enhance the corrosion resistance of automobiles.
Steel is fairly uniform in texture, and workers are familiar with the proper ways to prepare and coat it. In contrast, concrete is quite porous and uneven in texture, with differences in density from one square inch to the next.
