Researchers at Texas A&M University are working with sponsorship support from Toyota Motor North America to develop a groundbreaking approach for predicting the long-term performance of automotive surface coatings.
Spray-on, non-skid methods represent an innovative effort to modernize the way ship decks are maintained and coated. When these materials are applied to a deck, there is more contact to the surface while utilizing less product in reduced time.
Via image processing software, this article explores the accurate dry film thickness (DFT) estimation of individual coats or a total painting system.
Although the corrosion rate of bare steel tends to decrease with time in most cases, the difference in the corrosivity of different atmospheres for a particular alloy can be tremendous.
Maintaining exterior paint in industrial environments requires a strategic approach ranging from product selection to application. By using these tips and professional expertise, companies can offer solutions featuring exterior paints and coatings that last longer and look better.
An underground oil pipeline at a Spanish refinery was suffering from severe corrosion, and it would have incurred severe metal loss if left unchecked. Instead, a composite wrap solution allowed the customer to avoid a complete replacement.
