HOW BIRD EGGS GET THEIR BLINGIN A FINDING that may lead to developing durable coatings for ceramics and floors, scientists have solved the mystery behind the bling of Tinamou species’ eggs. Tinamou species are bird relatives of ostriches, rheas and emus. Pigments covered by a thin, smooth cuticle reveal the mystery behind these curious shells. The team found the presence of a weak iridescence in the Tinamou’s egg shells that creates superficial colors. The color of these eggs changes depending on the angle at which they are viewed and the light cast upon them. “The perceived color changes in relationship with the angles of observation and illumination. This effect can only be produced by nanostructures that influence how light is reflected,” said Brani Igic from University of Akron.

By studying the mechanical construction behind the egg shell gloss and coloration, the team found that the Tinamou

eggs’ sheen results from an ultra-smooth coating, or cuticle, distinct from typically bumpy eggshells. After removing the outer layer of the egg shells, the researchers examined their chemistry and nanostructure. “This smoothness

causes light to be reflected in a specular manner, like off of a lake or mirror. The bumpiness of other eggs causes them reflect light diffusely, like a cloud,” added Matthew Shawkey, associate professor of biology at the University of Auckland. “The research uncovers the longstanding mystery about the cause of these eggs’ glossy appearance and shows that birds can make surfaces that rival those of highly-polished man-made materials,” Shawkey said.

GLOBAL PAINTS AND COATINGS MARKET WILL REACH $176.5 BILLION IN 2020: PERSISTENCE MARKET RESEARCHNEW MARKET report published by Persistence Market Research ‘Global Market Study on Paints and Coatings: Industrial Paints and Coatings to Witness Highest Growth by 2020,’ the global paints and coatings market was worth USD 121.9 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5 percent during 2014 to 2020, to reach an estimated value of USD 176.5 billion in 2020.

With urbanization, the world is becoming a more sophis-ticated place with the growing need for greater comfort. The paints and coatings market has been benefitted due to these developments in personal and non-personal spaces. The increasing global population and the growing number of nuclear families escalate the demand for new houses every year, which in turn creates demand for paints and coatings. The increasing market for consumer goods and automobiles is also propelling the growth of the paints and coatings market.

Based on the end-use, the paints and coatings market is segmented into three categories: architectural and decora-tive; industrial; and marine. Architectural and decorative paints and coatings can be further segmented into water-based and solvent-based. Similarly, industrial paints and coatings can be classified into water-based, solvent-based, powder, and UV-based.

Architectural and decorative paints and coatings are used mainly applied on interior and exterior walls of houses and corporate buildings. Based on their formulation, there are basically two types of architectural and decorative paints and coatings: water-based and solvent based. Based on type, architectural and decorative paints and coatings paints

are mainly classified into emulsions and distempers. Dis-tempers are costlier than emulsions and account for lesser market share as com-pared to emulsions.

Industrial paints and coatings are used by several industries, including machin-ery manufacturing, automotive, and consumer goods. Based on their for-mulation, industrial paints and coatings can be segmented into four categories: water-based, solvent-based, powder, and UV-based.

According to the Bureau of Economic

Analysis (United States Department of Commerce), the durable goods industry grew from USD 958.7 billion in 2010 to USD 1096.4 billion in 2013. The construction in-dustry in the country grew from USD 539.1 billion in 2010 to USD 611.4 billion in 2013. Fabricated metal products industry accounted for USD 120.6 billion in 2010 which increased to reach USD 134.1 billion in 2012. The wood products industry reached USD 23.8 billion in 2012 from USD 22.1 billion in 2010. The growth of these industries is fuelling the growth of the paints and coatings market.

Several European economies recorded negative GDPs during the Euro-Zone crisis. Italy and Spain have been the biggest victims of this crisis. However, the European economies are improving and consumers are gaining confi-dence once more, which is a positive sign for consumer-re-lated industries. The negative effect of the economic crisis also impacted the European paints and coatings market; however, the industry is recovering and is expected to gain momentum by 2020.

The global paints and coatings industry has moderate degree of competition; however, the industry is moving to-wards consolidation through large number of mergers and acquisitions taking place in the recent years. Some of the major paints and coatings companies include AkzoNobel N.V., PPG Industries, The Sherwin-Williams Company, RPM International, Valspar Corporation, and Kansai Paint Company.

HEMPEL PROTECTIVE LAUNCHES PROTECTIVE COATINGS KEY FINDINGS REPORTAS PART of the recent launch of the AvantGuard® technology, Hempel Protective conducted a web survey among key decision makers from all over the world with the purpose of hearing expert opinions on a wide selection of factors affecting the performance of anti-corrosion coatings. The survey results have been gathered in the Protective Coatings Key Findings Report, which is now available to all customers. The results indicate that core anti-corrosion performance is key. However, the survey also points out that other aspects of protection are important, such as temperature and chemical resistance, damage resistant topcoats, abrasion and erosion resistance, as well as passive fire protection. On top of that, long service life is essential, and higher productivity is an important concern. Pernille Lind Olsen, Group Protective Product Director at Hempel, says: “Despite an apparent high level of satisfac-tion, there is an ongoing need for the anti-corrosion coat-ings industry to challenge conventional thinking in order to satisfy the expectations of customers in the oil, power generation and infrastructure industries. The launch of AvantGuard®, is one step in that direction.” The new AvantGuard® technology is based on activated zinc and is locked in to Hempel’s new range of zinc epox-ies. The unique formulation of AvantGuard® reduces the effects of corrosion and offers advanced protection, while

also improving the coating’s mechanical strength, which is essential for applications where the steel is exposed to extreme mechanical stress, such as large temperature fluc-tuations.

TQC LOW VOLTAGE PINHOLE DETECTOR DUTCH DEVELOPER of paint test equipment TQC has released the TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector to evalu-ate defects on different coating types applied to metal substrates using the wet sponge technique, notes a write-up from the company’s agents in India Amkette Analytics Ltd. The TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector is available in two models: LD8100 and LD8105. The basic model has 9V and 90V mode. The advanced model also has 24V and 67.5V modes. Both models are microprocessor controlled and equipped with a color display, automated self-diagnostics, ground failure indication, pinhole counter, acoustic-, visual, and vibration indicator.

Coating irregularities can be due to a number of dif-ferent causes. Surface contamination or unsuitable climate condi-tions prior to the applica-tion, holidays or entrapped dust or air

bubbles may lead to issues like pinholes. Outdoor or underground coating applications which are

likely to have various degrees of fluid exposure can be susceptible including areas like inner linings of tanks and pipes. Pinholes in those systems will inevitably lead to a premature coating failure so detection at an early stage is critical. .

The correct voltage depends on the coating thickness; 9 volt for coatings up to 300 micron; 67.5 volt for coatings up to 400 micron; 90 volt for coatings up to 500 micron.

The TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector consists of a battery operated instrument with ground lead and a wet sponge electrode. The ground lead is connected to the bare substrate. Movement of the wetted sponge over the test area allows moisture to pass into the pinhole due to capillary ab-sorption thus making contact with the base substrate which acts as a ground causing an audible, visual or tactile / vibra-tion alarm to indicate a pinhole. The number of detected pinholes is stored in memory, and remains available after power down, even when replacing the batteries.

Operating the TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector is very easy; the interface is menu based and intuitively operated by a single button, the write-up concludes.

VPCI®-389 is an environmentally friendly water-based, temporary coating that delivers exceptional multi metal protection for outside applications and salt-spray resistance. This contemporary coating is an advanced, safe replacement for hazardous oil-based products. It is an excellent choice for long-term indoor protection that lasts up to 5 years and short to medium-term (6 - 24 months) unsheltered outdoor protection, notes a product write-up from Cortec. This completely safe and easy to use coating cures to a soft film and eventually hardens. It is very efficient in SO2 and H2S environments. The product leaves a translucent,

waxy coat-ing that is easily removable; it is low in VOC’s and dilatable with water. VpCI®-389 can be easily removed with alkaline

cleaners, such as Cortec VpCI® -414. It is available in ready-to-use form - VpCI® -389 D (1:1). Metals protected are: aluminum, steels, cast iron, copper alloys and tin plated steel. Traditional coatings rely on sacrificial metals (zinc, chromates, and aluminum) for inhibition. Due to the large particle size of these inhibitors, gaps exist which allow corrosion to start and eventually expand, causing coat-ing failure. Cortec® VpCI-389 coating uses the patented VpCI® technology to protect the metal substrate with a tight bonding molecular structure. This system eliminates the gaps which occur with traditional inhibitors and prevents corrosion from starting. With environmentally safe VpCI® technology, the equipment and products will get superior corrosion protection. Typical applications include equipment lay-up, parts pro-cessing protection, overseas shipping, and maintenance re-pairs and parts storage. VpCI® -389 coating was tested with excellent results in ASTM D-1748 (humidity chamber test) and ASTM B-117 (salt spray chamber test). It is in compli-ance with RoHS requirements, the write-up concludes.

BAYER MATERIALSCIENCE OFFERS DIVERSE PRODUCT RANGE FOR DIRECTCOATING TECHNOLOGYA CUSTOMIZED, harmonious interior design is an impor-tant factor for an increasing number of car buyers. Surfaces should exude quality, feel good and be robust enough to withstand everyday wear and tear. At the same time, the automotive industry is committed to reducing the cost of manufacturing components and significantly improving productivity. The DirectCoating/DirectSkinning technol-ogy co-developed by Bayer MaterialScience fulfills all of these requirements, notes a press release from the company. Combined with special plastic grades, the process allows coated components to be manufactured efficiently in a single step. The surfaces of various components can be freely designed over a broad range to meet individual customer demands. “Transparent or colored coatings based on Bayer raw materials have been formulated in such a way that their appearance can vary from matte to glossy to a piano-like finish,” says Dr Johannes Scherer, project manager of the DirectCoating/DirectSkinning. “The feel can be set to hard or soft. Pebbled and structured surfaces are also possible with the appropriate mold design.” This development is part of a new, integrated material concept from Bayer Material-

Science for the future of auto-motive interior design. In the Di-rectCoating process, a plastic substrate is injection molded in the first cavity of a two-component

mold. When it is then placed in the second cavity of the mold, a narrow gap results that is flooded with a polyure-thane coating as the second component. “After opening the mold, the ready-coated part can be removed immediately for further processing,” explains processing engineering expert Jan Helmig. “The surface structure of the mold has been transferred perfectly to the polyurethane.” The concept developed by Bayer MaterialScience pro-vides customers and end users with a matched system that fulfills the desire for high-quality materials with decorative and robust surfaces. These products are already available for customer projects.

Typical applications of VpCI®-389 coating include equipment lay-up, parts processing protection,

overseas shipping, and maintenance repairs and parts storage.

The new Bayblend® grades for car interiors, for example, exhibit significantly improved

coating adhesion compared to standard blends.




PPG INTRODUCES P190-6930 PERFORMANCE CLEARCOATPPG INDUSTRIES’ (www.ppgrefinish.com) automotive refinish business has launched P190-6930 Performance Clearcoat. The new 2.1 clearcoat is intended specifically for use with waterborne AQUABASE® Plus basecoat by PPG. It is designed for high-production collision centers and pro-vides excellent throughput and impressive gloss retention, notes a press note from the company. P190-6930 features PPG’s innovative resin technology engineered for waterborne basecoats, making it the appro-priate solution for shops seeking a low-VOC production

clear. Used with Aquabase Plus basecoat, a vital part of the NEXA AUTOCOLOR® refinish system by PPG, P190-6930 delivers the high-quality results and efficient cycle-time performance progressive collision centers require.

“PPG is very pleased to offer our customers this advanced low-VOC clearcoat,” said Tim Jones, PPG waterborne segment manager. “P190-6930 is exactly what colli-sion centers want in a performance clearcoat: It’s easy to apply, it enhances productivity and it consis-tently provides an outstanding finish.

Paint technicians will be able to take great pride in their work and will appreciate how reliably this clear performs.”

P190-6930 enhances throughput with quick air-dry and bake cycle times – 4 hours and 25 minutes respectively – that result in superior finish hardness. With four reducer options, the clearcoat adapts to a wide range of operating temperature and humidity conditions. In addition, it can be buffed in less than one hour after cool down if required. The result is excellent gloss retention and finish.

AKZONOBEL MIMICS NATURE TO DEVELOP ADDITIVE WHICH MAKES ROADS SAFER AKZONOBEL (www.akzonobel.com) has launched an additive for road salt which helps to protect against frost damage and makes driving safer. Inspired by the ability of certain animals to with-stand cold and prevent ice forming in their bodies, Ecosel®AsphaltProtection is a fully biodegradable additive for de-icing brine. It works by slowing the freezing pro-cess, resulting in soft, slushy ice, rather than hard, abrasive ice. “Adding Ecosel®AsphaltProtection to normal winter road salt can reduce frost damage by around 50 percent,” explained Werner Fuhrmann, member of the AkzoNobel Executive Committee responsible for Specialty Chemicals. “Municipalities and governments will substantially benefit from the results - less need for road repairs, fewer traffic

jams, lower maintenance costs and greater road safety.”

“The additive not only protects people and the planet, it also makes economic sense as it brings down the total cost of owner-ship,” continued Fuhrmann. By mimicking nature, AkzoNobel researchers were able to tackle the repeated freeze-thaw cycles that affect asphalt mixtures. Water trapped inside asphalt expands by

about 9 percent when it freezes, breaking up the road itself. Passing traffic then further accelerates the damage.

Ecosel AsphaltProtection works by preventing the water trapped inside the asphalt pores from turning into hard ice. It encourages the formation of slushy ice, which is mechani-cally weaker than the asphalt and therefore substantially reduces the risk of damage.

The P190-6930 is easy to apply, enhances

productivity and con-sistently provides an outstanding finish. AkzoNobel new additive for

road salt helps to protect against frost damage and

makes driving safer.




DENSO’S STEELCOAT DUE TO DESIGN and operating conditions, the external base area of steel storage tanks is vulnerable to corrosion because cracks that form here collect water. As a long

lasting solution to this problem Denso have developed the Denso Steelcoat Tank Base Protection System, notes Mr Sathyapal Nair ([email protected]), Winn & Coales Denso Ltd, Regional Manager.

The system seals the vulnerable area with a tough flexible weather resistant outer-armored coating. The system is easy to apply, re-

quires minimum surface preparation, is flexible and allows for tank movement, seals and deflects water. Topcoats are available in a wide range of colors.

RUSTOFIX 1411RUSTOFIX 1411 from Innovative Coating Industries (www.promtechaerosol.com) is a rust converter cum rust preventive cum a primer coat. The product has a very good

adhesion on all types of steel and provides a 12 – 15 micron primer coating which is bluish / brown / black in color. Explains Mr Pradeep Vaidya, Director – Marketing, Rusto-fix 1411 is a water-based emulsion which contains complexing (chelat-ing) agents. It air dries in 10 – 15

minutes and is non flammable. Rustofix 1411 can be used by spray / dip, brush and swabbing. The black coating is ab-solutely adherent to metal and hard dries within eight hours and can be over-coated after 24 hours.

The coated mild steel fabrication will remain rust protect-ed even after this single application. Overcoating with zinc rich paint or any high grade paint like epoxy, polyurethane, CRPs (chemical resistant paints), modified acrylics, UF/MF resin based paints will enhance the anti-corrosion life of the metal and will add to the aesthetics.

DEFELSKO POSITECTOR INSPECTION KITDEFELSKO’S PosiTector body accepts all PosiTector 600, dew point meter and surface profile gauge probes easily converting it from a coating thickness gauge to a dew point meter or surface profile gauge.

Each inspection kit contains a PosiTector gauge body – standard or advanced; PosiTector 6000 coating thickness probe, wherein one can select from a variety of measure-ment ranges and probe styles; the PosiTector DPM envi-

ronment probe and the PosiTector SPG surface profile probe.

Featuring mono-chrome display, the gauge can store read-ings for one probe at a time. On standard models, 250 coating thickness and 250

NEI INTRODUCES NANOMYTE® SUPERAI, A DURABLE ANTI-ICE COATINGNEI CORPORATION announced that it has introduced NANOMyTE® SuperAi – a nanocomposite coating that im-parts anti-icing properties to the underlying substrate. The transparent coating also provides a hard, dense and smooth finish. Surfaces treated with SuperAi exhibit reduced ice adhesion, thereby preventing ice buildup. SuperAi can be applied to a variety of substrates, including plastics, metals, glass, and ceramics. NANOMyTE® SuperAi is a single

component coating that is easily applied by dip, spray, or brush. Poten-tial applications include occurrences where ice removal is a challenge (e.g., wind turbine blades, power transmission lines and cables, windshields

and other glass surfaces in automobiles). The coating also provides durability and additional corrosion protection.

NANOMyTE® SuperAi can be applied on clean surfaces using a commercial high volume, low pressure (HVLP) spray gun. The coating can also be applied using a roller or brush, where coating is done in a cross-pattern; left to right, then up and down as quickly as possible since the coating dries quickly. SuperAi can be cured at room temperature by exposing the coating to ambient conditions for 6 to 8 hours. Accelerated curing is achieved in 1 hour or less at tempera-tures in the range of 100 – 150°C.

The Denso Steelcoat Tank Base Protection System is easy to apply and requires

minimum surface preparation.

Rustofix 1411 air dries in 10 – 15 minutes.

The figure shows an example of how SuperAi can eliminate ice

buildup on a substrate.





Interview

Can you give us a brief intro-duction about your organiza-tion, The Society for Protec-

tive Coatings (SSPC)?SSPC: The Society For Protective Coat-ings is an organization dedicated to the use of high-performance coatings for the protection and preservation of steel, concrete and other industrial structures. The organization was founded in 1950 as the Steel Structures Painting Council in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA by a group of steel makers. The idea was to find ways to preserve their steel struc-tures. In 1997, the name of the associa-tion was changed to SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings to better reflect the changing nature of coatings tech-nology and the ever-expanding types of construction materials. SSPC is the only non-profit association that is to-tally focused on the mission to promote and support the use of protective, ma-rine and industrial coatings for corro-sion protection.

What are the activities of SSPC?SSPC’s technical committees develop both mandatory documents (standards, standard procedures, methods or speci-fications) to be used in preparation of procurement documents for painting work, and non-mandatory documents (guides, technology updates, technol-ogy reports, and technology guides) that provide guidance in current good practices.

Besides, we publish technical books, videotapes, CDs, provide training and certification courses, painting contrac-tor certification programs, hold confer-ences, events and webinars.

Can you tell us a bit more about your

training programs?SSPC offers a wide range of training courses and individual certification programs for coating professionals at every level of experience. We hold around 400 courses a year with vari-ous programs in Surface Preparation and Coating Application; Inspection; Coatings Technology; Management and Safety.

Most programs involve classroom lectures, team exercises, workshops, practical training and assessments. Some programs are also available on-line.

Though we are North American heavy, we have now moved into grow-ing economies like China and India and other Asian countries. Though we hold these programs in places like Singapore and the Middle East, we would like to make a start in India soon and are on the lookout for people who we could associate with.

Incidentally, SSPC’s biggest revenue generator is the training and certifica-

tion programs.

We would like to know a bit more about the SSPC standards, how they are developed, etc.?SSPC’s surface preparation and other standards are used in painting specifi-cations worldwide to provide a solid foundation for protective coatings work. These standards are developed through the consensus process. We have numerous technical committees whose functions is the development of consensus documents such as stan-dards, guides, technology updates and qualification procedures. Each of these documents is prepared using consensus procedures in accordance with the es-sential requirements of the American National Standards Institute. SSPC standards are based on the experience of contractors, consultants, material and equipment suppliers, manufactur-ers, facility owners, and others in the protective coatings industry and on the collective best thinking that can be

achieved by a group of knowledgeable persons.

How SSPC is different from other coating and corrosion related organi-zations?The focus of SSPC as our name sug-gests The Society for Protective Coat-ings is on coatings. Other organizations with similar missions also include other corrosion related activities like cathodic protection, surface engineering and use of other corrosion mitigating materials.

How many members do you have?The organization has around 10,700 in-dividual members and over 940 corpo-rate members. These include the gamut from paint manufacturers, equipment suppliers, other material suppliers like abrasive suppliers, tarpaulins, contain-ment system suppliers, contractors, en-gineers, consultants, etc. Incidentally, thirty five percent of our members are industrial painting contractors.

As I said earlier, we are North Ameri-can heavy, but slowly expanding reach and looking forward to grow a chapter in India. Currently, 17 percent of SSPC members are from outside of the USA.

How can one become a member of the SSPC?The process is very simple. Visit our website www.sspc.org, complete the membership form online; it’s very easy.

What are the latest developments hap-pening within the coating industry?I keep hearing a lot about nano coat-ings, self healing coatings and coatings needing fewer numbers of applications. A lot of people are moving from three coat systems to two coat and even one coat systems. Fewer number of coats converts to more in savings by way of material and labor costs.

What are the biggest changes you have seen within the industry, say the last 20 years?According to me, one thing that stands out; facility owners like transporters, re-fineries, petrochemical plants, etc., want a well trained, qualified workforce. Af-ter all, they very well realize it is better to do the coating job right the first time rather than redo a bad job which can turn out to be an expensive affair.

Do you have a trademark event that is

held each year?yes, of course! The year 2015 represents a key milestone in the history of SSPC as we celebrate our 65th anniversary! SSPC’s annual meeting is the coating industry’s only industrial, marine, pro-tective and industrial and light industrial coatings conference. The exhibition of-fers the opportunity to interact with over 2,000 professionals including facility owners, those who specify coatings, end users, manufacturers, contractors, engi-neers, consultants and inspectors.

SSPC 2015 featuring GreenCoat will return to Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Feb-ruary 3 – 6, 2015. Making things even more interesting is the fact that SSPC 2015 is going to run concurrently with World of Concrete, giving you more op-portunities than ever before to network with owners, suppliers, and contractors. SSPC 2014 was held in Orlando, Flori-da.

Finally, a brief about yourself…I am a retired US Army Lieutenant Colo-nel. I joined SSPC in 1994 because they wanted a person who could manage and organize all the activities of an associa-tion. I fit right in and here I am! n

Innovation

The team that invented the revolutionary coating material that can help cool buildings even on a sunny day.

STANFORD ENGINEERS have invented a revolutionary coating material that can help cool build-

ings, even on sunny days, by radiating heat away from the buildings and send-ing it directly into space.

A team led by electrical engineering Professor Shanhui Fan and research associate Aaswath Raman reported this energy-saving breakthrough in the journal Nature.

The heart of the invention is an ul-

trathin, multilayered material that deals with light, both invisible and visible, in a new way.

Invisible light in the form of infrared radiation is one of the ways that all ob-jects and living things throw off heat. When we stand in front of a closed oven without touching it, the heat we feel is infrared light. This invisible, heat-bearing light is what the Stanford invention shunts away from buildings and sends into space.

Of course, sunshine also warms buildings. The new material, in addi-tion dealing with infrared light, is also a stunningly efficient mirror that reflects virtually all of the incoming sunlight that strikes it.

The result is what the Stanford team calls photonic radiative cooling – a one-two punch that offloads infrared heat from within a building while also reflecting the sunlight that would oth-erwise warm it up. The result is cooler

buildings that require less air condi-tioning.

“This is very novel and an extraor-dinarily simple idea,” said Eli yablono-vitch, a professor of engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and a pioneer of photonics who directs the Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science. “As a result of professor Fan’s work, we can now [use radiative cooling], not only at night but counter-intuitively in the daytime as well.”

The researchers say they designed the material to be cost-effective for large-scale deployment on building rooftops. Though still a young technology, they believe it could one day reduce demand for electricity. As much as 15 percent of the energy used in buildings in the United States is spent powering air conditioning systems.

In practice the researchers think the coating might be sprayed on a more solid material to make it suitable for withstand-ing the elements.

“This team has shown how to passively cool structures by simply radiating heat into the cold darkness of space,” said No-bel Prize-winning physicist Burton Rich-ter, professor emeritus at Stanford and former director of the research facility now called the SLAC National Accelera-tor Laboratory.

A warming world needs cooling tech-nologies that don’t require power, ac-cording to Raman, lead author of the Na-ture paper. “Across the developing world, photonic radiative cooling makes off-grid cooling a possibility in rural regions, in addition to meeting skyrocketing demand for air conditioning in urban areas,” he said.

USING A WINDOW INTO SPACEThe real breakthrough is how the Stan-ford material radiates heat away from buildings.

As science students know, heat can be transferred in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction transfers heat by touch. That’s why you don’t touch an oven pan without wear-ing a mitt. Convection transfers heat by movement of fluids or air. It’s the warm rush of air when the oven is opened. Radi-ation transfers heat in the form of infrared

light that emanates outward from objects, sight unseen.

The first part of the coating’s one-two punch radiates heat-bearing infrared light directly into space. The ultrathin coating was carefully constructed to send this infrared light away from buildings at the precise frequency that allows it to pass through the atmosphere without warming the air, a key feature given the dangers of global warming.

“Think about it like having a window into space,” said Fan.

AIMING THE MIRRORBut transmitting heat into space is not enough on its own.

This multilayered coating also acts as a highly efficient mirror, preventing 97 per-cent of sunlight from striking the building and heating it up.

“We’ve created something that’s a ra-diator that also happens to be an excellent mirror,” said Raman.

Together, the radiation and reflection make the photonic radiative cooler nearly 9 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the sur-rounding air during the day.

The multilayered material is just 1.8 microns thick, thinner than the thinnest aluminum foil. It is made of seven layers

of silicon dioxide and hafnium oxide on top of a thin layer of silver. These layers are not a uniform thickness, but are in-stead engineered to create a new material. Its internal structure is tuned to radiate in-frared rays at a frequency that lets them pass into space without warming the air near the building.

“This photonic approach gives us the ability to finely tune both solar reflec-tion and infrared thermal radiation,” said Linxiao Zhu, doctoral candidate in applied physics and a co-author of the paper.

“I am personally very excited about their results,” said Marin Soljacic, a phys-ics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “This is a great example of the power of nanophotonics.”

FROM PROTOTYPE TO BUILDING PANELMaking photonic radiative cooling practi-cal requires solving at least two technical problems.

The first is how to conduct the heat in-side the building to this exterior coating. Once it gets there, the coating can direct the heat into space, but engineers must first figure out how to efficiently deliver the building heat to the coating.

The second problem is production. Right now the Stanford team’s prototype is the size of a personal pizza. Cooling buildings will require large panels. The researchers say there exist large-area fab-rication facilities that can make their pan-els at the scales needed.

THE COSMIC FRIDGEMore broadly, the team sees this project as a first step toward using the cold of space as a resource. In the same way that sunlight provides a renewable source of solar energy, the cold universe supplies a nearly unlimited expanse to dump heat.

“Every object that produces heat has to dump that heat into a heat sink,” Fan said. “What we’ve done is to create a way that should allow us to use the coldness of the universe as a heat sink during the day.”

In addition to Fan, Raman and Zhu, this paper has two additional co-authors: Marc Abou Anoma, a master’s student in me-chanical engineering who has graduated; and Eden Rephaeli, a doctoral student in applied physics who has graduated. n

Review

“INTERNAL CORROSION OF PIPELINES”Edited by prominent professionals in this field, Dr Anil Bhardwaj and

Dr Baldev Raj, this book promises to be a treasure for all those involved with pipelines in a variety of environments in various industries

INTERNAL CORROSION OF PIPELINES dwells upon various factors responsible for internal

corrosion of pipelines, which include corroding gases like O2, CO2, H2S; dif-ferent types of bacterial; environmental factors such as temperature and pres-sure; aqueous chemistry including sa-linity, buffer ion concentration, ionic composition and pH; flow regimes in case of multiphase flow etc.

Mechanisms, causes and effects have been explained in user-friendly language with apt case studies and ex-amples. Internal corrosion of pipes in seawater environment is a very specific issue relevant to coastal, offshore and shipping industry. The options of cor-

rosion resistant materials and corrosion control have been elaborated which can vary depending upon requirement of industry, temperature and flow con-ditions. Two types of pipeline systems are common to most chemical process industries, viz, cooling water and fire-water. They are essential for efficient and safe operation of a chemical pro-cess plant. The environment and flow conditions are different for these lines and unique corrosion control mea-sures, including specific materials of construction, for these two categories of lines have been dealt in this book in separate chapters. A discussion on com-posite materials has also been included, which are fast emerging as corrosion

resistant materi-als for several environments of pipelines. Cor-rosion control and monitoring go hand-in-hand and therefore, the aspect of corrosion moni-toring and in-spection has also been duly covered in this book.

Finally, there is a chapter writ-ten by experts in the respective fields. A must reference book for profession-als, researchers, undergraduate and post gradu-ate students, this book will be a treasure for all

those involved with pipelines in a va-riety of environments of various indus-tries.

The book is edited by Dr Anil Bhard-waj, General Manager (Chemistry), Head Materials and Corrosion Section, Institute of Engineering and Ocean Technology, Oil and Natural Gas Cor-poration Ltd (ONGC), and Dr Baldev Raj, Director, National Institute of Ad-vanced Studies, Indian Institute of Sci-ence Campus, Bangalore, well-known professionals in the field of corrosion. The contents include chapters on: Pipe-lines; Corrosion in Oil and Gas Pro-duction Pipelines; Corrosion Inhibitor Application in Oil and Gas Industry Pipelines; Fundamentals of Microbial Corrosion and Failures; SRB and MIC in Upstream Oil and Gas Industry; Corrosion in Water Injection Pipelines; Corrosion (Internal) of Pipes in Cool-ing Water Systems; Internal Corrosion in Fire Water Lines; Application of Composites in Pipeline Industry; Clad-ding of Pipelines for Internal Corrosion Control; Internal Corrosion Monitoring and Inspection Tools; Corrosion Re-sistant Alloys for Seawater Pipelines; Corrosion Management: Oil and Gas Production Pipelines; in addition to the Appendix; Glossary and the Index.

MITIGATING PIPELINE CORROSION THROUGH R&DTo ensure a long, safe operation pipelines require monitoring and maintenance. Researchers in universities as well as corporate research

and development wings are constantly working on ways to monitor and prevent corrosion in pipelines

As A veRy efficient means of transport liquid goods, pipe-lines have been used for cen-

turies. Pipelines are known to be the safest and most efficient means of trans-porting crude oil from producing fields to refineries and processing plants and of distributing petroleum products like gas to the consumer. Pipelines be-tween refineries and major urban cen-ters are replacing traditional modes of road and rail transportation. But, unfor-tunately, once installed underground, there is sometimes an assumption that it will last forever. To ensure a long, safe operation pipelines require monitoring and maintenance. Usually, companies will monitor flow rate, product in the line and other operational parameters as these directly affect day to day op-erations and income.

But, one area often overlooked is the condition of the pipe itself. Pipeline condition can be assessed both inter-nally and externally. Internal options include pressure monitoring, corro-

sion coupons and inline inspection tools. externally, the pipeline can be assessed with a number of different tools.

external threats to the pipeline can be very hazardous to the operation of the line and to the area around it. Reports of leaking pipes in the ground are numer-ous. sometimes the consequences are minor. A broken water-pipe will cause some flooding in a small area. But, there is a high potential for explosions, fire and casualties when an oil or natural gas pipeline ruptures. The causes of these ruptures can be varied; incorrect opera-tional pressure, failed welds, third party damage and corrosion. These dangers can be minimized by having strong com-pany policies and oversight in place.

Projects in various stages of implemen-tation will more than double the length of India’s natural gas pipeline system. India leads the region in terms of planned pipe-line length addition by 2020 with its plan to add 20,473km. As compared to other developing countries, the network of pipeline India is still very insignificant.

In America it has about 200,000 km of pipeline and has come into existence from the early 19th century.

To prevent corrosion of the pipeline, a regular monitoring and maintenance program must be in place.

While there are traditional methods such as coatings and cathodic protection to prevent corrosion, researchers in uni-versities as well as corporate research and development wings are constantly working on new ways to monitor and prevent corrosion in pipelines. In this is-sue, we try and bring together some of the latest developments in this field.

THE SMART CORROSION DETECTOR BEADMaterial scientists at Battelle Memorial Institute, in Columbus, Ohio, have de-veloped The Battelle smart Corrosion Detector™ bead to spot and treat corro-sion in pipelines and other valuable met-als. The bead not only detects corrosion but delivers a payload to help heal the microscopic cracks that rust creates.

The beads look like a fine, whitish powder that can be mixed with coat-ings used to protect pipelines and other critical infrastructure subject to cor-rosion. The self-healing smart beads detect and reveal corrosion forming on metal before it is visible to the naked eye. Once activated, the 20 to 50 mi-cron beads release a proprietary chemi-cal that fills the cracks.

The beads fluoresce in the presence of corrosion and can be seen with a special light. This not only provides an early indication that corrosion is hap-pening (even if it isn’t showing through the paint), but also creates an opportu-nity to mitigate the underlying problem while the beads repair and stem the on-set of the corrosion.

Ram Lalgudi, a principal research scientist, and Battelle colleagues Kelly Jenkins, John stropki and Wes Childers began working on this appli-cation of nanotechnology nearly a de-cade ago. They created a smart coating derived from functional nanomaterial

that could be applied between a primer and topcoat. Now, they’ve developed a proof-of-concept technology that can be valuable for many industries, espe-cially oil and gas.

For example, a technician could run a routine scan of the outer shell of a pipeline with a hand-held de-vice and detect the presence of cor-rosion not yet visible otherwise. Then, while the nanomaterial was ac-tively fighting the corrosion, the un-derlying problem could be addressed at that section, resulting in significant savings in time and money, as well as improved reliability, through early de-tection and remediation.

“This technology can not only ad-dress a major issue associated with pro-tecting existing infrastructure in harsh or corrosive environments, but it can also improve the safety and reliability of new infrastructure as its installed,” said Lalgudi, adding that Battelle is seeking collaborators to help take the product to market.

HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY PIPE LINING PRODUCTSCarboline Company recently an-nounced the release of Polyclad 951, Polyclad 952, and Polyclad 956 high performance epoxy pipe lining prod-ucts specifically designed to increase flow improvement of natural gas. These products act as a flow liner, creating a smooth surface on the interior of pipes to increase flow efficiency and reduce energy cost of transporting natural gas.

Decreasing friction with these prod-ucts can increase pipe flow efficiency up to 6 percent. Lining the interior of pipes will also help to keep gas pure and prevent corrosion, thereby reducing the need for pipe maintenance. Utilizing a flow liner will also prevent corrosion during pipe storage.

Another launch is the Polyclad ARO, an advanced high performance coating formulated to protect Fusion Bond-ed epoxy (FBe) coated buried steel pipe from damage during horizontal di-rectional drilling installations.



Cover Story

Polyclad ARO is specially designed for the protection of FBE or epoxy coat-ed pipeline from gouge and mechanical damage during directional drilling or slip bore installations. Polyclad ARO is applied directly over coated pipe as an abrasion resistant overlay (ARO) and provides superior protection in rocky, rough and mountainous environments. It absorbs the destructive energy and minimizes coating damage.

“Polyclad ARO provides excellent adhesion and superior gouge resistance to prepared FBE and other coatings,” said Dallas Finch, VP of Global Re-search and Development. “This allows for the coated pipe to be used in the most severe conditions and extend the life cycle of the pipeline.”

“The development of Polyclad ARO allows applicator shops to greatly in-crease production by speeding up throughput,” said Randy Roth, VP of Sales – North America. “With a 10 min-ute dry to touch and 20 minute cure time it’s a game changer in the oil and gas pipeline market.”

NEMOBredero Shaw, ShawCor Limited’s pipe coating division, has developed a new custom coating product designed for use on subsea pipeline components and equipment used in high temperature,

high pressure situations. The new prod-uct – network epoxy modified olefin (NEMO) – meets the need for a coating material to be used on irregularly shaped parts of subsea production systems, such as bends, spools, terminations (PLETS), jumpers and goosenecks.

The NEMO product range includes NEMO 1.1 and NEMO 2.1 and has been successfully tested on applications up to 120°C (tests are ongoing for 130°C and 140°C.) NEMO 1.1 is an epoxy-urethane hybrid suitable for low pressure casting applications. It overcomes the problems associated with traditional PU systems and can be used up to a maximum con-tinuous operating temperature of 95°C. NEMO 2.1 also has speed and demold times similar to PU and can handle con-tinuous operation up to 120°C.

DISCOVERYFollowing considerable interest in its step out pipeline inspection tool, Dis-covery™, Tracerco has commenced the

next phase of development of the tech-nology to target new applications.

Following customer feedback, Tracerco has commenced R&D work on further evolutions of the technology, specifically for use on large rigid risers as well as a further version for smaller diameter pipelines, flowlines and jump-ers (less than 12” OD). Both versions will include the crawler mechanism de-veloped for the existing tool.

Lee Robins, Head of Subsea Inspec-tion at Tracerco, commented: “We have received a large number of enquiries from customers relating to very small diameter pipes, which are difficult to inspect by conventional methods (due to the presence of coatings) and deemed unpiggable. Since Discovery™, has the capability to inspect pipelines without the removal of the protective coating, it was a natural progression to design a version specifically suited to the smaller diameter pipes.

Launched at the beginning of 2014, Discovery™ is a major breakthrough in subsea pipeline inspection. For the first time oil companies are able to non-intru-sively inspect complex subsea flowlines (including pipe in pipe, risers and pipe bundles) for both flow assurance issues and integrity flaws externally without removing any protective and insula-tion coatings. Discovery™ is currently being deployed on seabed pipeline in-spection projects in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico; the latter will involve inspection at 3000 m water depth.

Discovery™ was needed by the sub-sea pipeline industry due to its unique ability to take a 360 degree tomograph-ic scan image of pipeline contents and pipe wall conditions. Until now this has not been possible without remov-ing pipelines’ protective coatings. The tomographic scan image produced is ac-curate to nearly a millimetre radial reso-

lution, more detailed and accurate than anything currently on the market for non-intrusive pipeline inspection, with the additional advantage of zero inter-ruption to pipeline operation. Discov-ery™ can inspect any subsea flowline within its diameter range regardless of complexity (such as caissons) without any risk of damage to the pipe.

Discovery™ is a cost-effective way to provide operators assurance of the in-tegrity of unpiggable coated pipelines as it eliminates the risk of corrosion posed by removing the coating.

THE DOUGHNUT CELLSelecting and qualifying corrosion in-hibitors to protect oilfield pipelines from internal corrosion are a notorious-ly challenging task, but work by a team of Ohio University researchers can help simplify the process.

The equation “steel + water = cor-rosion” is often used by corrosion en-gineers to express what occurs in oil and gas upstream operations. Carbon steel is a material widely used by the oil and gas industry for pipelines. But it comes with a serious downside: carbon steel freely corrodes when it comes into contact with water, which is produced with crude oil or natural gas from un-derground reservoirs.

In upstream production environments, by contrast, crude oil isn’t corrosive to pipelines. This inspired a team of re-

searchers at Ohio University’s Institute for Corrosion and Multiphase Technol-ogy to explore the concept of “steel + oil = no corrosion,” as part of their Wa-ter Wetting Joint Industry Project with major oil companies.

Earlier corrosion inhibitor research has focused almost exclusively on the water phase—essentially neglecting the effects of the crude oil phase. But now, in a paper published in the September 2014 issue of CORROSION, the Ohio University team describes their work studying the effects of the crude oil phase on the performance of corrosion inhibitors.

“The current practice to mitigate pipeline internal corrosion is to inject corrosion inhibitors,” explains Chong Li, formerly a Ph.D. student at Ohio University. “This makes understand-ing corrosion inhibition of carbon steel critical to ensuring asset integrity and supporting new field developments.” To explore the effects of the crude oil phase on the performance of corrosion inhibi-tors, the researchers relied on common techniques, but also created a “dough-nut cell” device designed specifically to provide measurements of steel wet-tability.

For starters, corrosion testing within a glass cell was accomplished by using electrochemical measurements. “The corrosion testing cell generates data about the corrosion rate of carbon steel

with different testing fluids—including water without an added corrosion in-hibitor, water with an added corrosion inhibitor, or water with a layer of crude oil and an added corrosion inhibitor,” notes Li.

The team also obtained contact an-gle measurements with a custom-built goniometer to determine the wettability of steel—how much oil or water will spread on its surface. To do this, they created a “doughnut cell” to simulate oil-water pipe flow on a small scale. This device is capable of providing measurements of the wettability of the steel surface under dynamic (flow) con-ditions, whereas a goniometer provides only details about static (no-flow) con-ditions.

Using these combined techniques, Li and colleagues found that beyond lowering the corrosion rate, corrosion inhibitors can increase the oil wettabil-ity of steel—making it more difficult for water to come into direct contact with the steel, while also making it easier for water to be dispersed and flow as drop-lets within the oil rather than flowing as a separate phase at the surface of the pipe.

“We hope that our work will simpli-fy the process of selecting, qualifying, and optimizing corrosion inhibitors to protect oilfield pipelines from internal corrosion,” Li says. “Our small-scale ‘doughnut cell’ device reduces the time and costs associated with inhibitor qual-ification.”

What’s next for the team? While their work has centered on studying oil-wa-ter two phase flow, the researchers are now exploring corrosion inhibition in gas-oil-water three-phase flow. “We’ve built a high-temperature, high-pressure version of the ‘doughnut cell’ for testing conditions similar to oilfield operation conditions,” says Sonja Richter, for-merly the Water Wetting project leader at the Institute for Corrosion and Multi-phase Technology. “Our team integrat-ed the effects of the crude oil and cor-rosion inhibitor into a computer-based corrosion prediction model to work on further improvements and to validate this model.” n

SWITZERLAND RE-LIES on its 3,500 mo-torway bridges – plus

thousands more on cantonal roads – to carry them safely across valleys, streams, riv-ers and other roads. Most of these bridges have two fac-tors in common: they are essential to Switzerland’s transport infrastructure and they are made of reinforced concrete. This material makes them safe and durable – until the onset of corro-sion.

Corrosion occurs when chloride invades from de-icing salt and destroys the reinforcing steel inside concrete or when CO2 from the atmosphere lowers the concrete’s normally high pH. The damage becomes worse over time and is often visible only at a very advanced stage. In the long term, this can jeopar-dize the usability and safety of bridges and other supporting structures made of reinforced concrete. Furthermore, restoring these bridges is very expen-sive: the greater the damage caused by the corrosion, the more costly the re-pair work. “In addition, many bridges in Switzerland are already more than 50 years old, which makes corrosion increasingly problematic for Switzer-land’s infrastructure,” explains Bern-hard Elsener, professor at the Institute for Building Materials at ETH Zurich.

That is why Professor Elsener and a team of researchers developed the

technology 25 years ago to identify corrosion at an early stage, attaching an electrode to a wheel and wheeling it across the surface of the reinforced concrete. The sensor measures the electric potential difference in the re-inforced concrete – large differences mean that the reinforcement has al-ready started to corrode in those areas. The data is transferred to a computer and then analysed.

This technology for measuring the potential variation has been used suc-cessfully for a long time in the inspec-tion of bridges, says Elsener. But one problem remains: “The wheel elec-trode is attached to a stick and has to be wheeled manually. This means that many areas, such as supporting pillars and the undersides of high bridges, lie out of reach.”

DETECTING CORRO-SION WITH A ROBOTTo solve this problem, the Institute for Building Materials joined forces with the Institute of Ro-botics and Intelligent Systems and formed a project team consisting of Bernhard Elsener, Alexis Leibbrandt, Oli-ver Glauser, Ueli Angst and Robert Flatt from the Institute for Build-ing Materials, as well as Gilles Caprari from the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zurich. The aim was to develop

a robot that could detect corrosion in all areas – including sites inaccessible to people – and at the earliest possible stage. The researchers did not have to search long for a solution: “The stu-dents in one of our focus projects de-veloped a robot four years ago that can move not only on the ground, but also along walls and ceilings. This made it ideal for our project,” explains Roland Siegwart, professor at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems and Vice President Research and Corpo-rate Relations at ETH Zurich.

The robot’s movement is based on Vortex technology, where a type of propeller is attached to the underside of the robot. The propeller rotates fast enough for a movable suction cup to stick the robot on to walls and ceil-ings, where it can then use its wheels

C2D2: NEW ROBOT TO CHECK CORROSION

Bridges become an infrastructure problem as they get older, as de-icing salt and carbon dioxide gradually destroy the reinforced concrete.

A new robot can now check the condition of these structures, even in places that people cannot reach

is steered via remote control or a com-puter.

“The robot was originally called Paraswift and was developed with a view to being used by Disney. When a camera is screwed on to the robot, it can easily film a room from all perspec-tives,” explains Siegwart. For the new project, the team rechristened Paraswift as C2D2 (Climbing Corrosion Detect-ing Device) and modified it for use as a corrosion detector: “We made the casing and wheels more robust and in-corporated the corrosion-identification technology,” explains Elsener, who is spearheading the project.

The electrode is located on the un-derside of the robot and measures the potential difference of the reinforced concrete while the robot moves along the structure. A specialist then analyses the collected data. The engineers also attached a pink ball to the top of C2D2, which makes it easier for cameras to detect it and for researchers to control and locate it. This ball contains an addi-tional camera that records the surround-

ings and enables the robot to identify and avoid any potential obstacles.

SUCCESSFUL INITIAL TESTSThe team hopes that by the end of the project in mid-2015, the robot will be able to identify and overcome such ob-stacles by itself. The researchers also intend to replace C2D2’s manual steer-ing with a navigation system, which will make the robot autonomous, and they are currently working on a soft-ware program that will analyze much of the data itself.

The project team patented the robot in 2012. Companies interested in a li-cense can contact ETH transfer, the technology-transfer office at ETH Zur-ich. C2D2 has already proved its worth during tests on various bridges in Swit-zerland. The engineers now need only to optimize the robot for use on vertical surfaces. They will conduct more tests before the end of the project. The Fed-eral Roads Office (FEDRO), which is funding the project, will decide based on these results whether to use C2D2 for regular bridge inspections in the

future. This is something that Elsener definitely recommends: “C2D2 can help to create a safe and sustainable infrastructure at a relatively low cost – that was the motivation behind the project.”

C2D2 won an award in the ‘Prolon-gation of service life’ category in an in-ternational competition at the Concrete Innovation Conference (COIN) held in Oslo, Norway, June 2014. n

At the end of this series, Coatings & Anti Corrosion Engineering Review, in associ-ation with the Blastline Institute of Surface Preparation and Painting, will give out certificates to our subscribers on answer-ing a simple question paper based on this series.

In the previous three chapters, we have been learning how paints are classified i.e. physically dry-

ing paint and chemically curing paint, their peculiar characteristics and ex-amples of the same. In this edition, we will learn about other film forming mechanisms such as humidity curing, zinc silicates, and heat curing paints to conclude this lesson on classification and properties of paint. In the forth-coming edition, we will learn about the functions or purposes of paint.

OTHER FILMFORMING MECHANISMSHumidity CuringHumidity curing binders polymerize and form films through a reaction with water, usually in the form of vapor contained in the surrounding air.

Binders of interest are ethyl silicate and moisture curing (one-pack) poly-urethane. Since ethyl silicate is used predominantly for zinc silicate coat-ings, and its properties, when cured, are similar to those of potassium and lithium zinc silicates, it is included with these carbon dioxide curing sili-cates.

Polyurethane (one pack)The tendency of the isocynate group to react with water can be utilized by employing isocyanates with relatively large molecules. After application the paint or varnish cures by absorbing moisture from the air.

Moisture curing polyurethanes have properties similar to two-pack polyurethanes. Major limitations are their dependence on humidity in the surrounding air, and that special care should be exercised in their storage when they are pigmented (i.e. when used as binder in a paint).

Also, the production of moisture curing polyurethanes is an exceeding-ly tricky business. Mixing often has to take place under a “nitrogen blanket,’

as no humidity can be allowed close to the binder until curing is desired.

Zinc SilicatesSilicate binders owe their special properties to a high content of silicon-oxide in their composition. In the pro-tective coatings field silicate binders are used exclusively pigmented with zinc, as zinc silicates.

Ethyl silicate dries by the loss of solvent, alcohol, and cures by a reac-tion between the silicate and the hu-midity in the environment.

Lithium, potassium and sodium silicates dry by the loss of water, and cure by:

a) a reaction between zinc and sili-cate, and

b) a reaction between silicate and carbon dioxide in the air.

Sodium silicate is, and potassium silicate may be post-cured. That is, after drying, the application of an Accelerator (a water-based acid so-lution) accelerates the curing, which may otherwise take as long as 5 – 8 days.

General advantages and limita-tions of zinc silicate coatings are:

Excellent weathering Excellent solvent resistance Excellent hardness Excellent heat resistance (better

than 400°C) Excellent corrosion prevention

(through galvanic effect) Require surface preparation of

very high standard, both as regards cleanliness and anchor profile.

Demanding application condi-tions (temperature, humidity, contin-uous stirring and film thickness)

Critical recoating (risk of pop-ping and/or poor adhesion)

Must be applied directly onto blast cleaned steel with a definite an-chor profile (unless modified)

Resistance within the pH range 6 – 9 only.

Silicones (Heat Curing Paints)While almost all other polymers, with the obvious exception of inorganic zinc silicates, have a more or less branched backbone of carbon atoms; silicones have backbones of alternat-ing silicon and oxygen atoms, and car-bon containing side groups.

Condensation at high tempera-tures, about 200°C, produces net-works, and this is the mechanism by which curing is effected.

Special properties of silicones are:

Heat resistance (250°C and, if aluminum pigmented up to 600°C)

Good water resistance Good weathering Good chemical resistance Good gloss retention Good color retention Resistant to spillage of mineral,

vegetable and animal oils and fats Although physically drying, re-

quires high temperature (200°C for one to two hours) to cure and attain best properties.

Poor resistance to mechanical damage, such as impact, abrasion, etc.

Low solvent resistance (before curing)

Comparatively expensive.Silicones can, and are being, com-

bined with a number of other resins, typically alkyds, acrylates, etc., in order to reduce cost and improve me-chanical properties in the un-cured sta-ge. n

Technical Feature

ABSTRACTHIGH SOLIDS, powder, waterborne, UV curable coat-ings, Waterborne UV curable coatings - the green coatings - have been developed to replace conventional high VOC and solvent-based coatings. It has overcome the disad-vantages of traditional solvent-based coatings. However, the green coatings still need light stabilizers to help avoid degradation from sun light and improve weather stability.

Everlight Chemical Industrial Corporation (ECIC) has developed several unique products specifically for green coatings.

GREEN COATINGS AND LIGHT STABILIZERS Green coatings mean high-solids, powder, waterborne, UV curable and Waterborne UV curable coatings. It is de-signed to eliminate the release of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) from conventional solvent-based coatings.

The cause of the coating degradation such as discolor-ation, delamination, loss of gloss, cracking and chalking is because of every materials has chromophores or impurity content and UV light triggers chromophores to do the damage. Therefore, UV absorbers and light stabilizers are both recommended in order to prevent coating decomposi-tion and the most effective to solve these problems.

To understand more on the Light stabilizers, it can be divided into two groups: UV absorbers (UVA) and the Hinder Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS). UVA’s function is absorbing UV light and transforming it into heat and the HALS is best known to capture free radical to prevent material degradation.

LIGHT STABILIZERS RECOMMENDED FOR GREEN COATINGSHigh-Solid Coatings: It has been developed with solvent-based coatings. The objective is to reduce the requirement of organic solvents and increase solids content. Most coating’s system need to use acidic catalysts to improve film hardness during thermo-curing processes.

In choosing light stabilizers, it is necessary to consider its pKb at coatings. Therefore, the right and low basicty of NOR HALS is the first choice. It is also necessary to consider its solubility at coatings. Therefore, the liquid type light stabilizers are the second choice. Before and af-

ter exposure of delta y measurements (as shown in Figure 1) of adding Eversorb 81 (UVA) and Eversorb 95 (NOR HALS), coatings would receive different degrees of pro-tection according to its use level. Evidently, EV-81 mixed EV-95 was able to provide better protection.

Figure 1. Eversorb 81 and Eversorb 95 are with Acrylate clear resin for high solid coating after 2000 hrs QUV-313-nm exposure. Results show EV-81 mixed EV-95 was able to minimize discoloration to the coatings

Powder Coatings: Powder coatings are applied by high pressure, static electrostatic spraying to let resin and additives be attached to the surface of object and then cured with heat to form a durable coating. These results in solvent-free coatings.

Particle size is critical in powder coatings. It is very difficult for light stabilizers to reach well homogenous disperse in a short time due to the small dosage. Eversorb 76H (UVA) and Eversorb 60H (HALS), both are of novel

micron grade, are developed for effectively overcoming the obstacle of dispersion. Before and after exposure of delta y measurements (as shown in Figure 2) of adding EV-76H and EV-60H, coatings would receive different degrees of protection according to its use level. Evidently, EV-76H mixed EV-60H was able to provide better protection.

Figure 2. Eversorb 76H and Eversorb 60H are with Poly-ester resin for powder coating after 2000 hrs QUV-313nm exposure. Results show EV-76H mixed with EV-60H was able to minimize discoloration to the coatings

Waterborne Coatings:Water borne coatings are based on water soluble or water dispersed resins. It is non-toxic, odorless and nonflam-mable.

Liquid light stabilizers are normally not easy to disperse in water-based coatings. Adding UV stabilizers directly to water-based paint system will cause condensation in coat-ings and make it difficult to spray. Eversorb AQ series are new high-performance liquid light stabilizers. They can be used directly and homogenously disperse in water borne coatings. Before and after exposure of delta E mea-surements (as shown in Figure 3) of adding AQ series,

coatings would receive different degrees of protection according to its use level. Evidently, a higher use level provides a better protection.

Figure 3. Eversorb AQ1 is with Polyurethane clear resin for waterborne coating after 1000 hrs QUV-313nm expo-sure. Results show EV-AQ1 was able to minimize discol-oration to the coatings

uV Curable Coatings: UV curable coatings require direct UV light to initiate monomers and oligomers. It is converted from a liquid into a solid film. Specialty about the UV curing coatings is its speed in production and faster in drying.

Photoinitiators and light stabilizers usually conflict one another in UV curable system. Eversorb UR series are high-performance liquid-based light stabilizer and they do not affect curing speed. Before and after exposure of delta y measurements (as shown in Figure 4) of adding UR series, coatings would receive different degrees of protection according to its use level. Evidently, a higher use level provides a better protection.



Technical Feature

Figure 4. Eversorb UR210 is with epoxy Acrylate UV cur-able clear resin for metal coating after 100 hrs QUV-313nm exposure. Results show EV-UR210 was able to minimize discoloration to the coatings.

Waterborne uV Curable Coatings: UV radiation is a well-accepted technology. However the UV curable coatings have odor, emission monomers and not zero VOC emission.

The UV curable waterborne coating has both the advan-tages of waterborne coating and UV curable coating such as non toxic, pollution–free, and safety in use. In recent years the research and development has grown faster. Eversorb® AQ7, a blend of UV absorber and HALS, is developed specifically for water borne UV curable coats.

Design of Experiment (DOE) was used in this study. Our data confirmed that Eversorb® AQ7 can be used directly and homogenously disperse very well in waterborne UV curable coating and water systems. Test data showed that Eversorb® AQ7 in a waterborne clear UV curable coating would not have negative impacts to cure speed. The results confirmed that by increasing the concentration of Ever-sorb® AQ7 in the top coat can effectively protect from UV light degradation. Furthermore, data also showed that by increasing the coating thickness, the durability of coating

can also be improved to some degrees.Before and after exposure of delta y measurements

(as shown in Figure 5) of adding 5% Eversorb® AQ7 in waterborne UV curable coat and 15μm coating thickness can get the best performance (Delta yellowness Index ΔY=1.38)

Figure 5. Eversorb AQ7 is with waterborne polyurethane UV curable clear resin for metal coating after 120 hrs QUV-340nm exposure. Results show EV-AQ7 was able to minimize discoloration to the coatings.

CONCLUSIONEnvironmentally friendly coatings are the trend for future development. Everlight Chemical Industrial Corporation (ECIC) has developed several unique products specifi-cally for coatings. Our company’s goal is to make the UV protection of environmental friendly coatings easier and keeps running ahead.

As we all recognized the effect of the light stabilizers. coating manufactures still need to run their own experi-ments to demonstrate that coatings systems are compat-ible. The only solution is for our company to offer tailor-made products for its customers. n

Impact Study

NACE International Commences Global Study on Corrosion Costs and

Preventative StrategiesNew study will examine corrosion costs in several industry sectors and

provide cost comparisons for repairs, replacement, prevention, and control

NACE INTERNATIONAL recently announced the com-mencement of its new global

study on costs related to corrosion, an initiative to determine the financial and societal impact of corrosion on industry sectors including infrastructure, manu-facturing, utilities, transportation, and government. The two-year study led by NACE International with participa-tion from industry partners worldwide is now underway and is being managed by longtime corrosion industry advo-cate and former NACE International President, Ms Elaine Bowman.

The International Measures of Pre-vention, Application, and Economics of Corrosion Technologies (IMPACT) study will examine the direct and in-direct costs of corrosion on several industry sectors worldwide. With the global cost of corrosion estimated at

more than $2 trillion – $500 billion in the U.S. alone – the study will also identify opportunities, strategies and techniques to cut corrosion costs by as much as 30 percent. The IMPACT study has the potential to be a game-changer for the way corrosion control is handled worldwide based on its focus on corrosion management practices.

“Global in scope, the study will fo-cus primarily on information collected from 15 largest economies like Austra-lia, Canada, Europe, India, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East, the U.K., and the U.S.,” said Dr Samir Degan, Chairman, NACE International Gate-way India Section. There are also sev-eral industry advocates worldwide who have committed to providing support and data to the study or have commit-ted to serving as technology contribu-tors.

In India the Country Project Leader for the IMPACT study is Dr Baldev Raj, President, Indian National Academy of Engineering. “Corrosion is an inevita-ble, but controllable process which can result in destructive, even catastrophic incidents when not properly prevented and managed,” said Dr Raj. Dr Raj fur-ther states that this study will become a benchmark for industry in India to measure the effectiveness of their indi-vidual company corrosion prevention programs, and he encourages participa-tion in this vital research initiative.

This study is also supported by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), and NACE International Gateway India section.

The study will integrate research based on international, regional, and academic participation and will focus



Impact Study

on economic data to provide statistics and models that asset owners can use to implement asset preservation, manage-ment, and / or replacement.

“Corrosion is an inevitable, but con-trollable process which can result in destructive, even catastrophic incidents when not properly prevented and man-aged,” said Bowman. “Costs associat-ed with corrosion control include direct expenses like repair and replacement of assets, but there are additional costs, in-direct costs like production lost due to closure for repairs, or the environmen-tal and physical impact of corrosion-related failures. This study will explore direct and indirect costs of corrosion to several industry sectors around the world and identify ways to save as much as 30 percent of those costs.”

A 2001 study funded by the U.S. Congress with oversight by the Fed-eral Highway Administration (FHWA) and support from NACE International provided broad research on direct and indirect costs for U.S. industry sectors. The results of the study indicated the annual estimated direct cost of corro-sion in the U.S. was $276 billion. The study led Congress to develop a Cor-rosion Policy and Oversight (CPO) of-fice within the Department of Defense (DoD); the CPO has demonstrated up to a 40:1 return on investment for corro-sion control programs implemented by DoD. The study also resulted in Con-gressional support for the launch of the world’s first undergraduate degree on

corrosion.“This is an essential study for in-

dustry stakeholders and governments worldwide,” said Bob Chalker, NACE International’s Chief Executive Offi-cer. “It will be the most comprehensive study to look at costs associated with the impact of corrosion and the result-ing data will contribute to future proj-ect plans, regulations, education, and more.”

Previous studies on corrosion costs have focused only on costs in the U.S. in a few industry sectors. The IMPACT study will provide a broader range of information by including global data, and by taking a corrosion management practice approach. In addition to ana-lyzing the cost of corrosion, this study will compare global practices in an ef-fort to identify best corrosion manage-ment practices globally.

The IMPACT study differs from pre-vious studies by including data which explains the cost differences between prevention versus repair and replace-ment of assets. This data was not in the FHWA study, and it has been the most requested information since 2002.

Other new elements of the IMPACT study include: global data – from the world’s largest national economies; emphasis on public safety and environ-mental impact; in-depth sector analy-sis – detailed insight into four major sectors; economic models – focused on more than costs, these provide case histories, industry best practices, tem-

plates, and models; and, data from government agencies, correlated to real-world consequences of corrosion failures.

For industry partners, participation with NACE International and the IM-PACT study provides: recognition as a leading organization dedicated to pub-lic safety, environmental sustainability, and the advancement of public policies supporting the use of corrosion control technologies and qualified corrosion professionals and experts; recognition for professionals and companies who aggressively invest in corrosion con-trol; opportunity to share case histories of corrosion mitigation successes; and a platform to participate in the develop-ment of best-in-class corrosion preven-tion practices.

For government partners, the IM-PACT study presents opportunity for input on data and / or templates; input on perspectives shared in certain study sectors; contribution of knowledge re-sources to enhance best-in-class cor-rosion prevention practices; providing support for government initiatives to implement corrosion control legisla-tion; and, joining industry for more than just data, but also application ori-ented information.

“The study is expected to be complet-ed by October 2015 and handed over to NACE International for publication, which should be out by March 2016,” concluded Ms Bowman. n



Events & Exhibitions

IT’S TIME to adopt a zero tolerance approach to corrosion, in the same seriousness we should be attacking

cancer or corruption,” said Mr Ananth Kumar, Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India, speaking at the Special Plenary Session at CORCON-2014 in Mumbai recently. “In fact, I was surprised when I learnt about the enormity and economics of corrosion!” he said.

According to a recent report of the World Corrosion Organization, the an-nual corrosion cost is approximately $2.5 trillion or 3 – 4 percent of the global GDP. In India alone, the loss on account of corrosion is estimated at around $ 67 billion (over Rs 4 lakh crore). “Even if we save 10 percent of that amount we lose because of corro-sion, the figure would be enormous.”

Mr Ananth Kumar said, “Our Prime Minister has laid great emphasis on ‘Make In India’ with ‘Zero Defect’ and ‘Zero Effect’ on environment. Keeping this in mind, we should work towards manufacturing products, and infra-structure that are corrosion-free.”

He said, it is important we should make corrosion planning compulsory

in all infrastructure projects and just as we say a product is ‘energy efficient,’ ‘fuel efficient,’ we should also be able to say the product is ‘corrosion control efficient.’ “Corrosion management will facilitate the manufacturing sec-tor to enhance its competitive edge in the global market. Corrosion control should become an integral part of ‘good manufacturing practices.’”

The need for standardization and set parameters for corrosion control; the need to make corrosion audit a manda-tory requirement for industry, and the need for coordination between the oper-ation and maintenance departments to-wards corrosion mitigation were some of the issues he highlighted. He said, with use of right materials and proper maintenance, for example, a pipeline with three-year longevity, can extend to 15 years. “This is what we need to achieve,” he emphasized laying stress on renewed research and development in inventing environmentally sustain-

able corrosion control techniques.Mr Ananth Kumar said he was ready

for an in-house task force on corrosion control in his ministry. Skill develop-ment was another area he emphasized on. “For example, painters should know why they are doing a particular job. The skilled and semi-skilled labor who are part of this should be aware that what they are doing is part of corro-sion control.” He also said, the govern-ment will be mandating an institution, the CIPET – Central Institute of Plastic Engineering and Technology to be part of this skill development program.

“yes! We have to work hard towards what our minister has said,” noted Dr Samir Degan, Chairman, CORCON 2014, while speaking about the high-lights of the event. Dr Degan said this conference was unique and unparallel in many ways. “In fact, this was the first time that CORCON has been as-sociated with the Ministry of Heavy In-dustries, Ministry of Chemical and Fer-

Besides plenary talks, key note lec-tures, invited lectures, there were around 200 contributory oral and poster presentations in 15 technical symposia attended by over 800 delegates from across the globe, noted Dr Samir. “This year too, we had an exclusive student session and besides the technical sym-posia, eight technical interactive fo-rums were also organized on relevant issues.”

Organized by the NACE Internation-al Gateway India Section, CORCON 2014, now into its 21st edition, was held at Hotel Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, November 12 – 15, 2014. An exclusive exhibition area featured over 60 par-ticipants showcasing their latest prod-ucts and included FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) and US pavilions.

Earlier, at the inaugural function, Chief Guest Mr Sekhar Basu, Direc-tor, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, said: “With improved corro-

sion management techniques, it is im-portant that we extend the life of aging assets. For example, the cost to gener-ate one kW of power works out to Rs 5 at a new nuclear energy plant, whereas at old ones like at Tarapur, it works out to only 90 paise per kW. So, the more we extend the life of an asset, the more we save.” Dr Basu was also emphatic that corrosion management must start at the design stage. Guest of Honor Mr B. Narayan, Group President, Reliance Industries Ltd, felt that a subject on corrosion must be introduced as basic education in schools.

In addition, as part of the India USA commercial dialogue on corrosion, NI-GIS hosted Mr Arun Kumar, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Government of USA and Mrs Mugdha Sinha, Direc-tor, Ministry of Commerce, Govern-ment of India. This dialogue focuses on strategies, standards and regulation to enhance cooperation between the two nations to reduce the cost due to cor-rosion in both economies. Towards this effort, NIGIS along with FICCI will be drafting a white paper in the next 30 days to take the dialogue forward.

Every year, NACE International Gateway India Section (NIGIS) Corro-sion Awareness Awards are presented to honor and respect individuals / in-stitutions for their contribution to cor-rosion awareness and developments in the field of corrosion science and tech-nology in India.

This year, the awards were as fol-lows: Excellence in Corrosion Sci-ence and Technology in Research and Education, Dr R. Vedalakshmi, CSIR – Central Electrochemical Re-search Institute, Karaikudi; Distinction in Corrosion Science and Technol-ogy in Industrial Organization, Dr P.
