This work deals with the assessment of fungal deterioration on different anti-corrosive coatings using electrochemical techniques (corrosion potential and ionic resistance).
Inhibispheres are a new class of corrosion inhibitors for powder coatings. Inhibispheres utilize a sustained release technology based on corrosion inhibitor microencapsulation via a silica matrix.
By incorporating a specialty amine-functional silane oligomer into existing waterborne silane pretreatments, the need for an elevated curing temperature is effectively eliminated, opening the door to this type of environmentally friendly technology to industries and markets that were previously restricted by this elevated-temperature curing requirement.
Because of the performance capabilities of the new water-based acrylic polymer primers and their applicability to nearly all substrates, paint manufacturers have an opportunity to consolidate their primer inventory and provide their customers with a solution for the most challenging corrosive environments.
To maximize equipment life and safe production, innovative Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramic coatings provide durable protection from atmospheric and chemical corrosion.
To maximize equipment life and safe production, innovative chemically bonded phosphate ceramic coatings provide durable protection from atmospheric and chemical corrosion.
Preliminary tests indicate that Hardide nanostructured chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coating can extend the life of steam turbine blades through significantly enhanced resistance to water droplet erosion (WDE) and solid particle erosion.
With asset utilization critical, and community and regulatory pressure always looming, it is essential that tank farm owners proactively prevent any loss of containment with reliable, cost-effective corrosion protection. This is crucial since atmospheric corrosion is one of the main culprits of tank leaks, containment loss and early replacement.
In a collaborative effort designed to improve vital protection of offshore assets, the Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) is successfully conducting trials of an advanced anti-corrosion coating on two North Sea offshore platforms.
