Coatings World - November 2013

Carboline Company, a global manufacturer of high performance coatings, linings and fireproofing products, has launched Polyclad ARO, an advanced high performance coating formulated to protect fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coated buried steel pipe from damage during horizontal directional drilling installations.

Polyclad ARO is specially designed for the protection of FBE or epoxy coated 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, according to the company.

The purpose of ARO coatings is to protect the FBE from damage while being pulled through a drilled hole. The test that best simulates this damage is the gouge resistance test currently being developed by NACE International. Polyclad ARO has the best gouge resistance of all abrasion resistant overlay (ARO) coatings on the market, the company reports.

PPG Launches AUE-370YL
for Industrial Coatings

PPG Industries’ commercial coatings group has launched AUE-370YL, a key addition to its family of CPC/LIC (Commercial Performance Coatings/ Light Industrial Coatings) high-hiding yellow resin bases. AUE-370YL is a yellow tint base intended to provide increased hiding at lower-dry film builds for select industrial colors.

AUE-370YL will provide users of direct-to-metal technology with approximately 30-35 percent better hiding on yellow colors, the company reported. The increased hiding capability creates faster production throughput and cost savings for the end-user since fewer coats are required.

AUE-370YL, like AUE-370, is an easy-to-use, direct-to-metal 2.8 pounds-per-gallon high-solids VOC (volatile organic compound) urethane that is part of the CPC family of topcoat products. This resin allows for high build of the topcoat using a variety of application equipment including airless.

PPG’s commercial coatings group offers a full range of coating technologies for the commercial transportation and light industrial markets, including polyurethanes, alkyds, epoxies, polyurea, waterborne, pretreatment chemicals and powder coatings. PPG’s commercial coatings products are marketed under names such as the DELFLEET Evolution, DELFLEET ESSENTIAL, Commercial Performance Coatings and AMERCOAT brands.

New Biobased Open
Atmosphere Corrosion
Inhibitor From Cortec

Cortec Corporation, a leader in innovative, green, sustainable technologies has launched EcoLine 3680, a certified biobased, biodegradable, ready-to-use temporary coating for multimetal protection.

EcoLine 3680 is formulated with USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) renewable raw materials, which allows use for corrosion protection of equipment where incidental contact with food is possible. The product is HX-1 approval pending.

This green inhibitor provides premium indoor and outdoor multimetal protection. When applied on the surface, it leaves a tenacious, dry-to-touch protective coating, which provides excellent protection on metal surfaces, according to the company. The film is self-healing and moisture-displacing, providing superior protection even against aggressive environments. This wax-like film can be removed with alkaline cleaners such as Cortec VpCI-414.

EcoLine 3680 is safe, economical and easy-to-use.

Aremco’s Al Rich Corr-Paint
CP2010 Urethane Coating
Offers High Temp Corrosion
Resistance

Corr-Paint CP2010, a new aluminum rich, high performance coating developed by Aremco Products, Inc., is now used to provide high temperature corrosion resistance on copper and steel components and structures exposed to oxidation and corrosive atmospheres to 400°F (204°C).

Aremco’s Corr-Paint CP2010 is a single part, aluminum rich, low viscosity urethane coating that dries and cures at room temperature to a hard, non-porous, abrasion resistant surface. CP2010 is resistant to a wide range of acids, bases, fuels and solvents, and has also survived long-term salt fog, salt spray and humidity testing of over 1000 hours, according to the company.

Corr-Paint CP2010 is supplied with a viscosity of 300-600 cP, specific gravity of 1.08 g/cc, and solids by volume of 66.0 percent, and solids by weight of 70.0 percent. It is typically applied in a 4.0 mil wet film thickness that dries to approximately 2.0 mils. The theoretical coverage rate in a 1.0 mil dry film is 1058 ft2/gal.

Corr-Paint CP2010 can be used in combination with Aremco’s Corr-Prep CPR2000, a solution that is used to prepare extremely smooth surfaces for coating. CP2010 can also be applied directly to severely rusted surfaces found in many maintenance and repair applications. Application methods include brush, roller or conventional pneumatic spray equipment.

Typical applications include the coating of OEM components such as motor housings, bag houses, cyclones, hoppers, pipelines and precipitators, to the coating of large structures found in MRO ( maintenance repair operations) applications throughout the power, pulp and paper, and chemical processing industries.
