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.

Coastal sites.

Although not typically suggested
first, Waterborne acrylic maintenance coatings have been
successfully utilized for over twenty years in these

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.
|
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.

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

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.
