Can you name the common symptoms of volatile organic compounds (VOC) exposure? [1] Can you explain the long-term health implications of VOC exposure? Does your company track both short- and long-term VOC worker compensation claims? If a company values its front-line employees – the folks in steel-toe boots – the…
We at EonCoat understand the importance of corrosion prevention. Rust and other corrosion forms can lead to safety issues and ruin the integrity of your equipment and supplies. Even routine maintenance to remove and repair corrosion can drive up costs. Fortunately, there are a variety of measures you can take…
While we at EonCoat know that our coating is superior to other industrial coatings, when both clients and the contractors who work with our product are happy to discuss their experience with the press, that speaks volumes about how truly revolutionary this coating really is. Consumers Energy, one of the…
Corrosion tests show that coatings fail at the point of a scratch. The question is how fast and how far back from the scribe line the corrosion protection breaks down. In order to understand some things ourselves (and perhaps to make a point), we decided to figure out what happens…
During the Spring of 2012, we had the good fortune of finding our coating in a laboratory at Hanyang University, Seoul Korea, where Dr. Ki Yong Ann (PhD., DIC., MPhil., ME., Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ) performed electrochemical testing on our product. Before we get into the test…
There is a large boulder on our property that makes a good spot to sit and watch the lake. As the years go by the lines in my face deepen, but the stone looks the same. 100 years from now I’ll be gone. The stone will still be there and…
Concrete is a unique substrate in that it continues to harden for years. Additional water is released as this process continues, making it challenging to protect the concrete from the elements since you must leave a way for the water vapor to escape while keeping corrosion promoters from the surface.…
Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico was forced to evacuate and shut down this week (July 23, 2012) due to overwhelming coating fumes contaminating the air. Both the visitor’s center and the cave itself were closed after employees became ill and many complained of headaches. For those who work…
We know we have very superior corrosion resistant technology that can withstand some pretty brutal environments. We know, because we are continually testing EonCoat. But it’s even more rewarding when companies put our coating through their own testing process and we pass with flying colors. We sent off a sample…
Nearly all coatings have two very serious health hazards for use in confined spaces. Flash Point Toxic Fumes Flash Point Flash point is the temperature at which the vapor from a volatile material can ignite in air. In practice this means that in a confined space, when spraying a coating…
