🔗 Download the white paper at https://lnkd.in/g6yav-ac #sponsored Protective coatings are an integral part of wind tower design. From application to repair procedures, coatings play a major role in these megastructures’ cost and length of service life. Offshore wind farms require coatings designed for harsh marine exposure conditions to minimize damage and protect the steel substrate from the corrosive saline environment. This white paper will explore the technical challenges facing offshore wind park construction and review the performance and impact of protective coating technologies for wind tower foundations. 🔗 Download the white paper at https://lnkd.in/g6yav-ac #Coatings #ProtectiveCoatings #Offshore #Windtower #Windfarm #CleanEnergy #OffshoreWind #CathodicProtection

🔗 https://ow.ly/eKKS50RUi3z #sponsored In an industry where time is money, manual #blasting methods simply can't keep up with the demands of modern surface preparation needs. Manual methods, while traditional, are often too slow and inconsistent for the scale and precision required for such extensive projects. This not only hampers efficiency but also impacts the overall quality of the final coating application, essential for protecting these valuable assets from harsh environmental conditions.

🔗 https://ow.ly/lecx50SCKMU The article explores a surprising occurrence of amine blush in a climate-controlled blast cabinet used for applying epoxy coatings on structural steel assemblies. Despite the controlled environment, a waxy film resembling an amine blush appeared on the surface. This situation is unusual as amine blush typically occurs in cooler, outdoor settings. Upon investigation, high pH values and lab analysis confirmed the presence of an amine exudate. The epoxy used was an amine-cured type, and the blast cabinet employed a direct-fired heater, which introduced carbon dioxide and water vapor—key contributors to amine blush.

Johnny M. Sanchez, owner of Prime Time Coatings, Inc., and his crew recently completed a high-profile project on a popular ride at a major Southern California amusement park. This job, which involved applying a nonskid coating and polysiloxane coating to 14,900 square feet of track, was marked by numerous challenges, including a tight 11-day timeline, complex logistics, and unexpected weather conditions like Hurricane Hilary. Sanchez's team worked in two 13-hour shifts to maintain a continuous workflow, divided the project into three zones for efficiency, and adhered to strict safety protocols. Despite these obstacles, including a hurricane and an earthquake, the team completed the project on time, earning high praise from the client. 🔗 Read about the project at https://ow.ly/OkNn50SyaLe #CoatingsIndustry #AmusementPark #PrimeTimeCoatings #HighProfileProjects #ConstructionChallenges #SafetyFirst #Teamwork #ProjectManagement #Logistics #WeatherChallenges #SurfacePreparation #NonskidCoating #PolysiloxaneCoating #CoatingsApplication #IndustryExcellence #Engineering #HurricaneHilary #ProjectSuccess #ConstructionSafety #Professionalism
