Chemical Engineers needed for a greener built environment!
I found this interesting article in the most recent issue (March 2012) of Chemical Engineering Progress. It highlights the need for engineers (especially chemical engineers) to be involved in the built environment. Chemical Engineers “are familiar with the unit operations of importance to energy consumption in buildings – heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.” Chemical Engineers streamline processes […]
Collaborate for Success
Effective collaboration among all stakeholders in a coating project is essential for the successful execution of that project. A collaborative approach involves active participation and open communication between the project owner, the coating applicator, the specifier or consultant, and the coating manufacturer. Each party brings unique expertise, insights, and requirements that need to be carefully […]
Costly Corrosion
“The global cost of corrosion is estimated to be US $2.5 trillion, which is equivalent to 3.4% of the global GDP (2013). By using available corrosion control practices, it is estimated that savings of between 15 and 35% of the cost of corrosion could be realized; i.e., between US$375 and $875 billion annually on a […]
Elastomeric Coatings on Commercial Structures
The Dow Chemical Company which is a supplier of Acrymax wrote a recent article in Durability and Design. The article is titled Elastomeric Acrylic Coatings for use on Commercial Structures. The article discusses why you should use elastomeric coatings for roof coatings, exterior insulation and finishing systems, and exterior wall coatings for concrete and masonry […]
Elastomerics are Different
If you’re looking for a long-lasting, durable, and flexible wall coating, then elastomeric acrylic wall coatings are the perfect choice. Unlike ordinary wall paints, these coatings are specially designed to expand and contract with the masonry surface they are applied to, making them ideal for areas prone to extreme weather conditions. They can also bridge […]
