Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a rising concern for the energy sector. A new standard test method may help reduce risk and protect steel integrity.

A new one-step PCU anti-graffiti coating featuring a urethane powder, tinted to a specific color, and cured for 20 minutes offers an alternative graffiti-resistant solution.

Although it might seem inconvenient to update coatings systems that have not yet failed, now may be an ideal time for manufacturers to reassess their protective technologies and consider newer, more effective solutions in this strained energy sector.

Re-painting a 31-story building is never an easy job. But when that building is also the canvas for what is arguably the largest art piece in the world, the challenges are even greater. A PVDF-based coating was used to protect an iconic building against the passage of time and the sunny, humid, salt-air-laden climate of southern Florida.

Leveraging his extensive experience and expertise as a Senior Project Manager at Tnemec, Glenn Hauser will engage and empower students with advanced knowledge in corrosion prevention and protective coatings application.

The new product Improves anti-corrosion performance with lower chemical dosage and makes paint production more sustainable by adding a small amount of specially-developed graphene, an ultra-strong carbon nanomaterial.

In the coatings industry, achieving optimal anti-corrosion protection while being resource efficient can be a challenge. Learn about a new solution for achieving the highest anti-corrosion protection while minimizing material usage.   

Read about a full turn-key solution to combat corrosion under insulation on an ammonium-sulphate feed tank. Within the space of 24 hours, the tank was repaired and protected against future corrosion with an industrial composite wrap system.
