SOLVING RUST = WE ARE MAKING THIS TOO HARD! Corrosion plagues the energy industry. Globally, the cost of corrosion is estimated to be $2.5 trillion annually – and this is before you factor in the employee safety and environmental costs into the equation. These high costs stem from maintenance, equipment downtime,…
On-Time And On-Budget! Where Do We Start? We spend a great deal of time testing the products we will use on the critical equipment in our plants before starting a project. But unfortunately, a disproportionate number of those projects either do not proceed in a timely manner, or the coating…
Professional, Personal, Prompt While Tony Collins and Carlos DeOro are busy, I thought I’d take a moment to hop onto the blog, officially introduce myself, and tell you about my customer success goals, practices, and processes. My name is Kim Feth, and I’ve had the honor of interacting with many…
We want to focus on the job of a NACE inspector on the worksite of an EonCoat application job. First, let’s all agree on one basic principle – we all need qualified NACE Inspectors! We are all clear that the inspector’s job is to ensure that coatings are used…
Everyone likes to avoid the hard work of surface preparation. As a result, we see many “surface tolerant” epoxies claiming that you can apply them to a rusted surface. However, if you look closely at the application guide, it will point out that the performance will always be better on…
The Genius of Plural Spray Pumps Plural spray pumps offer an environmentally friendly solution to the 12 million tons of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) released into the atmosphere annually by paints and coatings. Both latex and alkyd (oil-based) paint release various VOCs, including formaldehyde, toluene, and…
30 years ago, I was on-site when an industrial accident badly damaged a mill and took three lives. What I remember most is leaving the plant. The news had broadcasted that there was a significant accident at the plant. Many families had gathered outside the gate, wanting to find out…
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 have all learned to ask about a coating’s pull-off strength. But often, as technicians, we do not know why we ask. For polymer coatings, pull-off strength may be important. There are indications that a correlation exists between corrosion and pull-off strength for polymer coatings. For Polymer Coatings The reason…
First, Some History 2000 years ago, the area now called India, originally Bharat, had artisans who knew how to make steel that did not rust. Science was lost when the Mongols invaded and burned the Library around 1306. Then, Some Science Around 2003, the famous professor from the Indian Institute…
