The Red Bucket BONUS - El origen del mortero ignífugo Perlifoc (Con Álvaro Boter y Emilie Musso)
La evolución de Perlifoc: innovación, protección contra fuego y sostenibilidad. ¿Cómo ha evolucionado la protección pasiva contra fuego durante las últimas cuatro décadas y qué nos depara el futuro? En este episodio de The Red Bucket, Emilie Musso habla con Álvaro Boter, una de las figuras clave detrás del desarrollo de la gama Perlifoc, para explorar sus orígenes, su evolución técnica y los desafíos de desarrollar soluciones eficaces de protección contra fuego. Desde la introducción de los morteros de protección contra fuego en España hasta el desarrollo de Perlifoc HP Eco+, analizan cómo los cambios en las normativas, los desafíos de la aplicación en condiciones reales y las consideraciones de sostenibilidad han dado forma al sector. La conversación también explora el papel de los materiales reciclados, las materias primas de origen local y la importancia de la innovación continua para crear edificios más seguros y sostenibles.
The Red Bucket - Episode 29. Closing knowledge gaps in concrete secondary containment maintenance (Feat. Chris Imms)
Concrete secondary containments and the coating systems that protect them are vital to safe, clean, compliant operation in any facility handling harmful or toxic commodities. But if that's the case, then why are they so often left in disrepair? Chris Imms, President of Helena, Alabama-based Imms Industrial Coatings, joins The Red Bucket to help close a knowledge gap impacting facility personnel and coating contractors alike. Also, Chris reveals which Halloween candy he believes is an act of cruelty.

Industrial coating systems for hazardous waste secondary containment
Explore how engineers specify industrial coating systems for hazardous waste secondary containment, considering chemical exposure, concrete conditions, environmental risk, and long-term performance.
The Red Bucket - Episode 28. Is it time to replace traditional tank and pipe insulation? (feat. Michael Stelmach)
For decades, standard practice for insulating storage tanks and piping has been to wrap them in mineral wool, foam, or other low-conductivity materials before sealing them in cladding. This method works well-for a few years, anyway. But guest Michael Stelmach explains how liquid-applied insulative coatings are a longer-lived solution that achieve similar thermal efficiency, similar personnel protection, similar energy savings, and similar process stability while eliminating CUI and other risk factors.
