On August 10th 2016, KTA Senior Chemist, Chrissy Stewart, presented a Webinar for Durability and Design entitled “The Relationship Between Aesthetics and Brand Image, and the Coatings to Achieve It.” Viewers are encouraged to ask questions at the end of the Webinar, and the Presenter generally answers them following the Presentation. For the Webinar, we […]

The wastewater industry poses some of the most significant corrosion protection challenges for industrial protective coatings. In this case study, coating failure in the form of peeling and delamination (on concrete) and blistering (on steel) was observed on the interior of a digester at a wastewater treatment facility after only five years of service. Removal

This is a six-part video series that demonstrates the field and laboratory methods that were used to determine why a new coating system applied to a previously painted concrete floor had failed. Each part is standalone, addressing a different aspect of the evaluation, but when viewed in order, they present a systematic step-by-step process for

Many countries, especially the western nations who had ramped up and developed immense industrial capacities during World War II, underwent huge expansions in their infrastructure after the end of the war, primarily in the 1950s, 1960s and into the 1970s. Not only did this include the building of roads, bridges, ports and

Blistering formation in high performance industrial coatings is a common phenomenon. Understanding why blisters form is sometimes very simple and in other instances quite complex. For example, understanding and describing the process by which moisture migrates through a coating film at a molecular level to achieve equilibrium can be very complex, especially to the layman.
