Mitigating Corrosion Under Insulation and Supporting the Longevity of Industrial Pipe Insulating Systems
Finding the optimum blast pressure is a balancing act that entails taking into consideration the requirements of the job and the capabilities of the compressor, the blast hose and the blast nozzle.
Flash rust occurs with any type of wet, abrasive blasting or surface preparation using water. Understanding how it forms is essential to preventing it.
With many designs on the market it’s hard to know what to look for. Here we examine five things to consider when selecting wet or vapor abrasive blasting equipment for your next project.
Introduction A number of changes in the industry have led to the development of new abrasive blasting tools and methods.
Airless sprayers work by pumping high-pressure paints or coatings through a hose to the nozzle of the spray gun. As the paint is forced through the tip of the
The white powdery residue produced by zinc rich primers is a corrosion product known as white rust, white corrosion or white storage stain. White rust occurs when a zinc coated surface is exposed to moisture (such as rain,...
A passivator, also known as an anodic inhibitor, is a type of corrosion inhibitor that reduces or blocks reactions at the anode, thus shifting the potential of the metal to a more electropositive value. In other words, the...
Wet (vapor) blasting technologies and dry blastingare similar in performance with regards to surface preparation. The shortfalls of older wet blasting technologies have, unfortunately, often been carried over and associated...
Plural component protective coatings, as the name suggests, are coatings that are made up of separate elements that are combined prior to application. High solid materials such as polyurethane, polyurea, and epoxy are some...
The blast pressure directly determines the velocity of the blast media through the blasting nozzle, and therefore the impact force on the substrate.While there are a wide range of pressures that can accomplish the same job,...
High solids coatings can offer numerous advantages when compared to solvent-based coatings. Some of these advantages include better durability, faster drying times and little to no emission of volatile organic compounds...
Firstly, before we answer this question it is important to clear up a common misconception. There is no such thing as a 100% dustless surface preparation method. (For background information on the reasons and methods for...
