To help keep pace with the demands of modern complex building design, the research and development of fire protection has become critical. Here, Rick Perkins of Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings looks at a breakthrough and the benefits emerging for the asset owner.
The objective of the study was to develop next-generation on-line monitoring that can detect deviations from the optimum spraying conditions at an early stage, enabling prompt correction and greatly reducing product rejections and re-coating compared to the inadequate post-spray quality check.
Years ago, mariners covered the hulls of vessels with copper sheeting to provide anti-fouling properties. Today, Corrocoat Biofoul, a heavy-duty anti-fouling coating, works in a similar way, presenting a protective, copper-rich surface to fouling agents.
A&E Networks is a television production company that produces shows such as The First 48, Longmire and Duck Dynasty. For this project, A&E hired High Performance Systems Corporation, an expert resinous flooring contractor, to install a resinous flooring system in one of their new 3,775 sq. ft. recording studios located in New York City.
As awareness of sustainability and green issues continues to affect specification choices the world over, more developments are turning to terrazzo flooring as the solution.
Monitor Coatings led and R&D project that led to the development of a basecoat plus seal coat that met all functional requirements tested, showing that a solution could be deployed as a system and gaining significant levels of scientific understanding.
