3L and T USA's new coating material technology StackGard-255QW offers excellent protection against corrosion for cement plant chimneys. The binder is an interpenetrating network made of organic and inorganic polymers. Other product features and dimensions are also supplied.

Abstract Stains in rendered facades occur very frequently in recent buildings due to various causes (efflorescence, carbonation, corrosion, cracking, dirt deposition, biological colonization and others). Most of the stains are [...]

The details pertaining to general aspects of corrosion and oxidation-reduction of ceramics, and the corrosion phenomenon of a magnesia chrome of a rotary kiln, at a cement plant, with the help of a case study, is presented.

With energy-efficient R-10 extruded polystyrene insulation, and an air and water barrier installed outboard of the steel studs and sheathing, the new Information Technology/Engineering Building on the University of Maryland's [...]

A dehumidification system alone is not enough to prevent humidity from damaging buildings that house indoor pools. Vapor barriers and construction materials also play major roles. We have all been [...]

Surface corrosion damage in commercial flat glass and lead crystal glass can be caused by the combination of heat and humidity. The washing and drying of fine crystal should be done by hand to improve their life span.

More than 250,000 sq. ft. of anode mesh installed to protect Baltimore bridge decks New anode mesh for a cathodic protection system must be kept at least 1/2 in. away [...]

Rust! Nobody wants it, what do we do about it? Better yet, how do we prevent the oxidization of the carbon steel object we are striving to protect from this [...]

Door hardware can extremely vulnerable to a wide range of airborne corrosives such as salt, moisture, chemicals, abrasive dust and sand. Consequently, custom house builders need to determine which types of door hardware to use in specific areas and applications. While stainless steel is the best choice for door hardware, other alternatives can also be used. These include plastics, brass and carbon steel composites., It might surprise builders specifying door hardware how much corrosive potential there is in the air, say Roger Vitt and Ken Salter, AHC, writing in the journal of the Door [...]

How is metal substrate corrosion resistance enhanced when nanomaterial additives are employed in coatings? Providing corrosion protection of metal sub-strates remains a significant technical challenge for coating technologists. Chemical corrosion [...]

Mechanical, chemical deaeration protect boilers against corrosion Corrosion in boiler systems is a major cause of equipment damage or failure, often resulting in expensive, unscheduled downtime and/or excessive maintenance. Dissolved [...]

Corrosion, scale, and fouling Operating and maintaining a refrigerated facility There's an old adage, 'It takes money to make money.' What does this have to do with water treatment? The [...]

TENS OF MILLIONS of feet of rubber and plastic tubing have been installed in the U.S. and Canada for the past 10 years or so to connect all types of [...]

Interface corrosion on stainless steel is caused by a small amount of chromium-free iron being deposited during the brazing process. It is most likely to occur when moisture is present or when there is no nickel in the brazing alloy. Therefore, use of a nickel-bearing alloy in the brazing process will reduce the corrosion probability. Moreover, maintaining a clean, oxide-free surface for adhesion by the brazing filler metal can be ensured by use of Handy Flux., Continuing with our series of brazing articles, Lucas-Milhaupt/Handy & Harman will be providing technical information on the proper procedures to follow when brazing stainless steel. While stainless steel applications are [...]

New anode meshes help cathodic protection on decks, but carbon-based paints may be easier to use on piers This is the first of three articles on cathodic protection. The second, [...]

Check environment for clues to untimely coil corrosion In the majority of installations, coils last the life of the air conditioning and/or refrigeration equipment with few problems. Still, an occasional [...]
