When the Clean Air Act was enacted, many products needed reformulation to meet the VOC emission requirements. Learn more about the resulting technology.

Too many introductory resources skip straight to reciting the definitions of resin types. A more helpful starting point is to first answer some fundamental questions: Why do we use protective coatings? What are they made of? How do they work?

Dan Baribault and Paul Atzemis explore the technology behind Carbomastic 15 to explain why some surface-tolerant epoxy mastics perform so well in so many services.

Controlling soluble salts is one of the largest challenges faced during the surface preparation portion of a coating project. Failure to remove soluble salts can drastically shorten a coating’s lifecycle. On this episode, Ken Rossy, President of HoldTight, joins us to discuss the differences between atmospheric and immersion services, the debate on allowable soluble salt limits, and how additives can help. All of this and more coming up next on The Red Bucket.

Jack Walker and Paul Atzemis discuss fiber-reinforced epoxies and where they should be used. They explore the characteristics of the coating and appropriate markets for these products.
