By using these novel reactive silicones, formulators can develop more-durable solutions that enable customers to reduce system costs by extending the interval between recoating, and by keeping their tanks, pipelines, ships and other assets in service with less downtime.
The combination of a high-Tg, hydrophobic, high-MW alkyd with the proper surfactants and levels can produce a highly corrosion-resistant DTM alkyd emulsion when formulated with select pigment dispersants.
The Avro Heritage Museum, located in Woodford, Cheshire, has revealed its largest renovation project, the Avro Vulcan XM603, which has been restored to the same iconic livery as when it was first manufactured in 1963.
Tomorrow’s paints and coatings can be much more than a pretty surface. Many of them will be smart, functional materials that respond to, and change, the environments around them.
The architects knew they needed the variety of panels to work together and find a coating that would retain the many different individual colors for years to come and preserve the integrity of the mosaic.
For almost 50 years, Tnemec Company Inc. has supplied coatings and linings for water storage tanks, protecting them from corrosion, ultraviolet light degradation and exterior weathering. In 2006, to celebrate water tank coating projects around the world, Tnemec created the annual Tank of the Year contest.
It is possible to remove traditional inhibitors and incorporate smart pigment materials to give the same, if not a better, level of corrosion control in coatings.
