Coatings continued paint

The standard of cleanliness which must be achieved has been stated to be that which will allow the subsequent process to be carried out satisfactorily . As an example, the degree of cleanliness required to satisfactorily zinc plate from an acid solution is somewhat higher than that required prior to zinc plate from a high-cyanide alkali zinc solution. This should never be taken as a licence to skimp on surface preparation. However, the arguments over surface-tolerant paint coatings abound and will probably continue. It is to a very large extent true that problems of early failure in metal finishing are traceable to incorrect or insufficient surface preparation. 

The primary function of a coating is to act as a barrier which isolates the underlying metal from the environment, and in certain circumstances such as an impervious continuous vitreous enamel on steel, this could be regarded as thermodynamic control. However, whereas a thick bituminous coating will act in the same way as n vitreous enamel, paint coatings are normally permeable to oxygen and water and in the case of an inhibitive primer (red lead, zinc chromate) anodic control will be significant, whilst the converse applies to a zinc-rich primer that will provide cathodic control to the substrate. 

A feature of rust, particularly of magnetite (which is an electronic conductor) is its ability to reduce oxygen to a far greater extent than does the metal (Evans and Taylor, 1972). Thus, once some rust has formed, corrosion may be accelerated. This is also one reason why, if all rust is not removed from a metal surface before application of a protective paint coating, corrosion continues under the film. Similarly, akaganeite residues on meteorites promote corrosion under the conditions of ambient humidity and this leads to disintegration of such meteorites in museums (Buchwald and Clarke, 1989). 

In an unpublished study at the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, the moisture content of wood treated with two commercial formulations reached 48 to 58 percent (based on ovendry weight of treated sample) in 4 weeks1 exposure at 27°C and 90 percent relative humidity. Continuous exposure of wood treated with water-soluble salts to conditions above 80 percent relative humidity can result in loss of chemicals and in adverse effects on dimensional stability and paint coatings. Corrosion of some metals in contact with the wood will also occur. 

Paints also continue to play a part in space age camouflage. Unlike the coloured coatings of the past, whose concealment value depended on tone, reflectivity and pigment, the vital characteristic of modern protective coatings is their ability to absorb radio frequency energy so that the word concealment is given a whole new meaning. 

Type interns extendable shelf-life items for which successive re-inspection dates can be established when the items or materials have a continued usability as determined by examination based upon criteria that have been agreed upon. Examples of Type 11 items include paints, coatings and inks.

The latices that result from the emulsion polymerization find immediate application as adhesives, paints, coatings, or in the processing of leather. For this, control over the distribution of the latex particles is desired. If emulsifier and water are added at the beginning of the polymerization and monomer and initiator are added continually during the course of the polymerization, then only those latex particles initially formed will continue to grow. The latex particles are relatively small and show a narrow distribution of size. If, on the other hand, just one part of the initial sample is polymerized and the rest is added as an emulsion during polymerization, then new latex particles will be produced. Since the particles formed first are very large and those formed last remain relatively small, the distribution of sizes becomes very wide. 

Active thermography requires the application of a stimulus (thermal heat), either as single pulse (153) or continuously varying with time (154). The pulse, typically from fiash lights, its duration, and intensity, as well as direction (surface or back side of test object) will affect the detectability of the indications (155). Surface finish or paint coats may affect the absorption of the pulse. In CFRP, excitation by short ultrasonic pulses (156) and noncontact eddy currents is also feasible. 

Unlike coatings made from thermoplastic powders which require only a visual inspection to see whether the coating is satisfactory, thermosetting powder coatings require additional examination to determine whether the coating has achieved its full physical properties. Simple mechanical tests may be used, as is the practice with conventional paint finishes, but, particularly for epoxy powder coatings, it is normal to use chemical resistance as a criterion for suitability. A common method is to swab the coating continuously for 30 seconds with a cotton wool pad soaked in methyl isobutyl ketone. Any deterioration of...
