Shop Painting of Steel
Identifies various types of industrial and commercial paint shops, describes their methods of operation, and compares the advantages and limitations of shop painting versus painting in the field. Provides an overview of environmental control systems, surface preparation, materials handling, coating application, commonly used primers and coating systems, inspection, environmental and safety practices, certification programs, and related topics. Includes a glossary of nearly 100 terms, a description of SSPC standards referenced throughout the text, a select bibliography, and a complete subject index, plus over one dozen SSPC standards, guides, and specifications for shop primers, zinc-rich coatings, and more.

SSPC-VIS 1
SSPC's most widely used visual reference features over 50 full-color photos of previously coated and uncoated, rusted steel surfaces before and after dry abrasive blast cleaning. Cleanliness requirements for conditions depicted are defined by the SSPC surface preparation specifications for white metal (SP 5), near-white (SP 10), commercial (SP 6), industrial (SP 14), and brush-off (SP 7) blast finishes. Appendix photographs show variations in white metal surfaces caused by different metallic and non-metallic abrasives, profile depth, angle of view, and lighting. Now with guides in both English and Spanish!
Corrosion and Coatings
Introduces the various mechanisms and forms of corrosion, the prevention and control of corrosion through the use of coatings, and other practices for maintaining corrosion control. Individual topics include mechanisms of corrosion control by protective coatings, composition and film formation of organic coatings, properties of generic coating types, the economics of corrosion control, and more. Provides a useful overview of basic corrosion control principles for coatings professionals at all levels of experience.
Paint Film Degradation
Presents a scientific approach to the analysis and prevention of common paint and coating failures on industrial, commercial, and residential structures. It begins with a close look at the structure, composition and properties of polymers used in the formulation of modern paints and coatings, followed by a systematic consideration of failures induced by weather, corrosion, mechanical and chemical influence, light, heat, and other agents. The book also discusses adhesion failures and blistering, failures on substrates other than steel (cement, concrete, wood, zinc, aluminum, other metals), failures specific to primers, and failures resulting from deterioration during storage.
Protective Coatings
Presents a comprehensive overview of basic coatings chemistry in an accessible, straightforward way. Introduces the basics of paint composition and polymer design, cohesion and adhesion in paint systems, and the chemistry of film forming systems. Discusses the properties and function of resins, binders, pigments, solvents, additives, and other ingredients used in the formulation of protective coatings. An indispensable reference book for chemists, formulators, laboratory personnel, students and professionals.
SSPC-VIS 2
SSPC's popular rust standard features a series of 27 full color images and 27 black and white diagrams representing various degrees of spot, general, and pinpoint rusting on painted steel surfaces. Text and tables provide a guide to the use of the reference photographs; a scale and description of standard rust grades; a comparison of SSPC, ASTM, ISO, and other rust grade scales; and other useful information.
Practical Math for the Protective Coatings Industry
This handy book presents an essential review of basic mathematical principles, then applies these principles to formulas and calculations commonly used in the protective coatings field. Begins with easy-to-follow rules, tips, and formulas for simple arithmetic, equation solving, dimensional analysis, geometry, computations, and statistics. Provides specific formulas for calculating dew point, relative humidity, spreading rate, wet and dry film thickness, pigment volume concentration, transfer efficiency, and other important figures. Written especially for those who seek to improve their math skills and advance in their profession through training and education.
Coating and Lining Inspection Manual
Although smaller in size and less detailed than The Inspection of Coatings and Linings, this useful, handy book still offers a solid overview of basic inspection practice in a concise "question-and-answer" format. Discusses basic coatings technology, the role of the coating inspector, coating specifications, and supplier procedures. Describes various procedures and equipment for monitoring, testing, measurement, and inspection. Suitable as both a learning tool for beginners and as a portable field reference for the more experienced inspector.
