Protection of capital and infrastructure, as well as
safety, are important for those who manage Bridge and
Highway systems.
Waterborne acrylic
industrial coatings are a great choice to
fulfill these needs as they provide excellent
protection and corrosion resistance, are
environmentally friendly, exhibit low-odor, provide
the ability for brilliant color and are easy to
apply.
Applications
Typical acceptable substrates for coating include:
steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, concrete or
masonry, plastic and wood.
Waterborne acrylic maintenance coatings have been
successfully utilized for over twenty years in these
environments and are suitable for bridges spanning
intercostals waterways as well. |

- Oil/Alkyd Paints
- Oil base paints were
the first factory-made paints. Traditionally, resins
derived from natural oils such as linseed oil were used,
but modern oil resins called alkyds offer numerous
advantages over natural resins. The main difference
between an oil or alkyd and a latex paint is the vehicle
or carrier of the resin. In a latex paint, water is the
vehicle. In oil paint, a solvent, such as paint thinner
or mineral spirits is used.
Today, 100% oil
paints are seldom used. Alkyd paints consist of natural
drying oils combined with alkyd resin, which is a harder
substance. The development of the synthetic resins has
made it possible to produce more consistent, higher
quality alkyds. An alkyd, therefore, is a synthetic resin
blended with oil. There are many types of alkyd resins,
resulting in many types of alkyd paints.

Although not typically suggested first, Waterborne

and are suitable for bridges spanning intercostals
waterways, as well as light houses. They have also
been successfully used on ship interiors, as well as
exteriors of stationary vessels. |

Some advantages of oil/alkyd
paints:
- Exceptionally durable and
washable
- Adhere, flow, and level well
– very good brushing qualities
- Perform well at lower
temperatures
- Tolerate poor surface
preparation; have more bite onto the surface
Oil/alkyds also have some
drawbacks over
latex paints.
The solvent vehicles have more odor than latex, they yellow with
age, and require solvent for clean up, rather than soap and water.

Warning
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release
lead
dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
ILLNESS,
SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD
ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a
NIOSH-approved
respirator to control lead
exposure. Clean up carefully with a
HEPA vacuum and a wet
mop. Before
you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by
contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at
1-800-424-LEAD
or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Consideration
should be used in all your coatings selection actives, but special
considerations should be made in applications where caustic or corrosive
chemicals will come in direct contact with the coating. For these
specialized applications it is likely a solvent based
coating is the best choice.
To obtain more information about your particular application, select an
application that most resembles your project site.
Besides being less hazardous
than typical solvent based coatings, they are quick and easy
to apply, low-odor, environmentally friendly, and offer
excellent corrosion protection and durability. They are also
very versatile for use in overall plant color schemes to
support safety, labeling, and branding purposes.
Applications
Typical applications include: storage tanks, piping and pipe
racks, railings, racking, plant infrastructure, clean rooms,
offices, lockers and change-rooms, plant buildings, doors, and
shelters.
