only experienced personnel should apply polyurethane elastomers Owing to short tack-free times, equipment coated with these systems can be put back in service rapidly Thick elastomeric films can bridge cracks in cementitious substrates and offer rapid high-build systems with low labor costs The special equipment required to properly proportion the elastomer components has led to excessive costs, however, particularly when specially trained applicators are required Several applications have resulted in early Copyright by ASTM Int'l (all rights reserved);

thus the coating is rejuvenated There are three brushing machines used to remove this outer layer only: the scamp, Brushcart, and Trellclean Morcillo discusses panel exposure tests (after 23 years' exposure) in the marine environment of Kure Beach, North Carolina The tests dealt with minimum film thicknesses for protection of hot-rolled steel Six different degrees of surface preparation, sk different types of paint, primer film thicknesses of to mils, and top coat thicknesses of to 10 mils provided excellent data A rust grade rating of per SSPC-Vis was used as the criterion of removing panels from test in the severe marine environment Only a few panels have been removed; most remain exposed after 23 years Minimum dry film thickness of the combined primer and finish coat is between and mils These systems will last to 10 years Longevity depends more upon quality of the paint, the generic type, rather than the degree of surface preparation Vinyl systems of less than mils failed from lack of adequate surface preparation Their service life per mil of film thickness was high, extending to 2.5 times more than oilbased systems Numerous data have been developed, but no conclusive results can be given since more than 80% of the panels remain on test, even those with poor surface preparation The Paint Research Institute and others are sponsoring research, reviewed in the paper by Hendry, to identify the mechanism of corrosion inhibition by ionic species It has been found that the four major classes of inhibitors are oxidizing inhibitors, organic compounds, metallic cations, and nonoxidizing inorganic salts Several mechanisms are currently being investigated (1) The efficiency of a coated metal to serve as a cathode will be determined by electrical measurements (2) Cyclic dissolution and precipitation of the inhibitor will be Copyright by ASTM Int'l (all rights reserved);

The placard will also show the safety equipment required for personnel to wear prior to entering the area Suggestions have been made for workmen to take courses "on sites" regarding the hazards involved A worker who successfully complete the course may then wear a sticker on his hardhat indicating that he is knowledgable of these hazards Workers without these stickers may requu« help See ASTM Practice D 4257 for further SAS information and details on obtainmg placards and stickers Clarkson, in a paper not submitted for publication, reviewed the effects on worker productivity and safety of painted structural steel Unpainted steel provides enough friction so that the construction worker has good footing Painted surfaces, on the other hand, particularly those that have been shop primed and top-coated, offer a more slippery surface, and thus are more hazardous to walk on Polyurethanes and high gloss coatings in particular are dangerous This condition slows down productivity and creates a very undesirable safety hazard Nearly 50% of construction fatalities are caused by falls by workmen Workers would prefer to not have any paint on structural steel If paint is required, they would like the industry to develop a nonskid surface or a surface equal to the friction coefficient of unpainted steel Coated surfaces in the Three Mile Island nuclear plant two years later were studied two years after the accident Lefkowitz, in a paper not submitted for publication, presented interesting information Coated surfaces within containment were shown in pictures taken during the first six entries A TV camera was used to show the condition of the reactor core and rod assembly Considerable damage was noted to this area In general, the coatings have held up very well Drums were caved in, a telephone was melted, nylon rope was melted, but the only paint damage was caused by a hydrogen bum which concentrated on the dome area Although the coatuig burned, it was selfextinguishing and the fire did not contmue Decontamination of these surfaces has been difficult, since only water is being used in order not to upset the Copyright by ASTM Int'l (all rights reserved);
