India is the fourth largest producer of steel in the world and is slated
to become the second largest steel producer by 2015. The country
can emerge as a global hub for engineering and automation industry
under the aegis of ‘Make in India’ campaign. India is a country, where
ample opportunities are awaiting investors under the ‘Make in India’
campaign in almost all sectors. The program has come up with new
initiatives intended to facilitate investment, foster innovation and build
best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure.
The Government of India is developing the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial
Corridor (DMIC) as a global manufacturing and investment destina-
tion utilizing the 1,483 km-long, high-capacity western dedicated
Railway Freight Corridor (DFC) as the backbone. The objective is to
increase the share of manufacturing in the gdp of the country and to
create smart sustainable cities where manufacturing will be the key
economic driver.
The plan is to develop new manufacturing cities, logistic hubs and
residential townships along the dfc incorporating the philosophy of
sustainability, connectivity and development; each manufacturing city
will have world-class infrastructure, convenient public transport, pow-
er management and efficient water and waste management systems.
Twenty four manufacturing cities are envisaged in the perspective plan
of the dmic project.
The Government of India is building a pentagon of corridors across
the country to boost manufacturing and to project India as a global
manufacturing destination of the world.
Other four corridors which have been conceptualized are Bengaluru
– Mumbai Economic Corridor (BMEC); Amritsar – Kolkata Industrial
Development Corridor (AKIC); Chennai—Bengaluru Industrial Cor-
ridor (CBIC), East Coast Economic Corridor (ECEC) with Chennai—
Vizag Industrial Corridor as the first phase of the project (CVIC).
All this we are sure would mean better days for the coatings and
corrosion mitigation industry and I take this opportunity to wish all our
supporters, advertisers, readers, et al, a great and prosperous new year
ahead!!!

NUCLEAR MAGNETIC
RESONANCE SPECTRO-
METER BOOSTS WACKER’S
R&D FACILITY IN KOLKATA
WACKER, the Munich-based chemical company, is
enhancing its scientific expertise in India by equipping its
R&D facility in Kolkata with a novel high-tech Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer. The 400 MHz
Nanobay NMR was officially put into use this December.
NMR spectroscopy is one of the principal techniques used
to obtain physical, chemical, and structural information
about a molecule. WACKER is one of the very few manu-
facturing companies in India that operates such an in-house
NMR at its R&D facility. The high-tech equipment was
delivered in summer and was tested meticulously over the
past weeks. “Our industry
demands testing and evalu-
ation of novel compounds
in a wide range of chemical
space to feed its pipelines,”
Mr Soumitra Mukherjee,
Managing Director, Wacker
Metroark Chemicals Pvt.
Ltd., said during the launch ceremony. “The installation of
the NMR will help leverage our R&D centre capabilities
and will multiply our possibilities to create new innova-
tions. With this, we are able to fulfill our customers’ needs
in the growing regions of India and Asia and also cater to
our key global customers,” Mr Mukherjee continued.
A NMR spectrometer is an analytical research instrument
which provides detailed information about the structure,
dynamics, reaction state, and chemical environment of
molecules. In organic chemistry, it is the ultimate analyti-
cal capability. WACKER will use this equipment for the
structural analysis of silicones, silanes and allied substances
and for detailed information on the exact three-dimensional
structure of chemical molecules in a solution.

HOW BIRD EGGS GET
THEIR BLING
In a finding that may lead to developing durable
coatings for ceramics and floors, scientists have solved
the mystery behind the bling of Tinamou species’ eggs.
Tinamou species are bird relatives of ostriches, rheas and
emus. Pigments covered by a thin, smooth cuticle reveal
the mystery behind these curious shells. The team found
the presence of a weak iridescence in the Tinamou’s egg
shells that creates superficial colors. The color of these
eggs changes depending on the angle at which they are
viewed and the light cast upon them.
“The perceived color changes in relationship with the
angles of observation and illumination. This effect can only
be produced by nanostructures that influence how light is
reflected,” said Brani Igic from University of Akron.
By studying the mechanical construction behind the egg
shell gloss and coloration, the team found that the Tinamou
eggs’ sheen results from an
ultra-smooth coating, or cuticle,
distinct from typically bumpy
eggshells.
After removing the outer layer
of the egg shells, the researchers
examined their chemistry and
nanostructure. “This smoothness
causes light to be reflected in a specular manner, like off
of a lake or mirror. The bumpiness of other eggs causes
them reflect light diffusely, like a cloud,” added Matthew
Shawkey, associate professor of biology at the University
of Auckland.
“The research uncovers the longstanding mystery about
the cause of these eggs’ glossy appearance and shows that
birds can make surfaces that rival those of highly-polished
man-made materials,” Shawkey said.

Global Paints and
Coatings Market Will
Reach $176.5 Billion in
2020: Persistence
Market Research
New market report published by Persistence Market
Research ‘Global Market Study on Paints and Coatings:
Industrial Paints and Coatings to Witness Highest Growth
by 2020,’ the global paints and coatings market was worth
USD 121.9 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 5.5 percent during 2014 to 2020, to reach an
estimated value of USD 176.5 billion in 2020.
With urbanization, the world is becoming a more sophis-
ticated place with the growing need for greater comfort.
The paints and coatings market has been benefitted due to
these developments in personal and non-personal spaces.
The increasing global population and the growing number
of nuclear families escalate the demand for new houses
every year, which in turn creates demand for paints and
coatings. The increasing market for consumer goods and
automobiles is also propelling the growth of the paints and
coatings market.
Based on the end-use, the paints and coatings market is
segmented into three categories: architectural and decora-
tive; industrial; and marine. Architectural and decorative
paints and coatings can be further segmented into water-
based and solvent-based. Similarly, industrial paints and
coatings can be classified into water-based, solvent-based,
powder, and UV-based.
Architectural and decorative paints and coatings are used
mainly applied on interior and exterior walls of houses and
corporate buildings. Based on their formulation, there are
basically two types of architectural and decorative paints
and coatings: water-based and solvent based. Based on
type, architectural and decorative paints and coatings paints
are mainly classified
into emulsions and
distempers. Dis-
tempers are costlier
than emulsions and
account for lesser
market share as com-
pared to emulsions.
Industrial paints
and coatings are used
by several industries,
including machin-
ery manufacturing,
automotive, and
consumer goods.
Based on their for-
mulation, industrial
paints and coatings
can be segmented
into four categories:
water-based, solvent-
based, powder, and
UV-based.
According to the
Bureau of Economic
Analysis (United States Department of Commerce), the
durable goods industry grew from USD 958.7 billion in
2010 to USD 1096.4 billion in 2013. The construction in-
dustry in the country grew from USD 539.1 billion in 2010
to USD 611.4 billion in 2013. Fabricated metal products
industry accounted for USD 120.6 billion in 2010 which
increased to reach USD 134.1 billion in 2012. The wood
products industry reached USD 23.8 billion in 2012 from
USD 22.1 billion in 2010. The growth of these industries is
fuelling the growth of the paints and coatings market.
Several European economies recorded negative GDPs
during the Euro-Zone crisis. Italy and Spain have been
the biggest victims of this crisis. However, the European
economies are improving and consumers are gaining confi-
dence once more, which is a positive sign for consumer-re-
lated industries. The negative effect of the economic crisis
also impacted the European paints and coatings market;
however, the industry is recovering and is expected to gain
momentum by 2020.
The global paints and coatings industry has moderate
degree of competition; however, the industry is moving to-
wards consolidation through large number of mergers and
acquisitions taking place in the recent years. Some of the
major paints and coatings companies include AkzoNobel
N.V., PPG Industries, The Sherwin-Williams Company,
RPM International, Valspar Corporation, and Kansai Paint
Company.

COATINGS KEY FINDINGS
REPORT
As part of the recent launch of the AvantGuard®
technology, Hempel Protective conducted a web survey
among key decision makers from all over the world with the
purpose of hearing expert opinions on a wide selection of
factors affecting the performance of anti-corrosion coatings.
The survey results have been gathered in the Protective
Coatings Key Findings Report, which is now available to all
customers.
The results indicate that core anti-corrosion performance
is key. However, the survey also points out that other
aspects of protection are important, such as temperature and
chemical resistance, damage resistant topcoats, abrasion and
erosion resistance, as well as passive fire protection. On top
of that, long service life is essential, and higher productivity
is an important concern.
Pernille Lind Olsen, Group Protective Product Director at
Hempel, says: “Despite an apparent high level of satisfac-
tion, there is an ongoing need for the anti-corrosion coat-
ings industry to challenge conventional thinking in order
to satisfy the expectations of customers in the oil, power
generation and infrastructure industries. The launch of
AvantGuard®, is one step in that direction.”
The new AvantGuard® technology is based on activated
zinc and is locked in to Hempel’s new range of zinc epox-
ies. The unique formulation of AvantGuard® reduces the
effects of corrosion and offers advanced protection, while
also improving the coating’s mechanical strength, which
is essential for applications where the steel is exposed to
extreme mechanical stress, such as large temperature fluc-
tuations.

UASC BOOSTS EFFICIENCY
OF NEW FLAGSHIPS WITH
JOTUN ADVANCED
ANTIFOULING COATINGS
Jotun and United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) have
reached agreement on the provision of advanced antifouling
coatings for eleven newbuild container vessels. The contract
is part of UASC’s ambitious USD 2.3 billion newbuilding
programme.
The shipping and maritime industries rely on antifoul-
ing hull coatings to limit the growth of organisms on the
hull that can affect the vessel’s performance and dura-
bility. These advanced coatings deliver hydrodynamic
performance gain, fuel cost and Green House Gas saving.
This agreement marks the first time Jotun and UASC have
worked together on marine antifouling hull coatings.
UASC, a leading global shipping company that has more
than 12,000 customers globally, has committed itself to
operate one of the world’s youngest container fleets, with a
strong focus on optimal efficiency and outstanding environ-
mental standards. The new 14,500 TEU and 18,800 TEU
vessels demonstrate this ambition, with cutting edge design
and ‘LNG ready’ classification from DNV GL. Choosing
Jotun’s antifouling solutions marks a further step on the path
to optimum performance standards.
UASC is reviewing and developing its environmentally
friendly practices in the areas of saving energy, reducing
carbon emissions and protecting the marine environment.
“Our aim is to set new industry benchmarks for fuel economy
and environmental performance,”
comments Mohamed Zaitoun,
UASC’s Assistant Vice President
New Building Technical Projects.
“Antifouling products have a
proven ability to keep hull surfaces
smooth and clean under the water,
which is critical to minimise fuel consumption and reduce
emissions. We are focused on building a fleet of the most ef-
ficient container vessels in the market, and we believe Jotun’s
expertise can help us realise that vision.”
Of the eleven vessels to be coated with Jotun’s premium
antifouling range, eight are 14,500 TEU and three are 18,800
TEU capacity vessels. Eight of them will be treated with
Jotun’s proprietary Hull Performance Solution (HPS) system,
which combines top-of-the-line SeaQuantum X200 paint
with advanced measurement technology. This solution will
help UASC’s vessels achieve up to a 15 percent hydrody-
namic performance gain as well as fuel cost savings.
“UASC has evaluated the compelling nature of our ad-
vanced antifouling coatings in general, and the HPS system
specifically, and is keen to trial it on eight of these flagship
vessels,” states Morten Sten Johansen, Jotun’s Sales Director
HPS. “The combination of silyl methacrylate coating technol-
ogy and a truly comprehensive measurement system, captur-
ing high frequency performance data, delivers not just clean
hulls and added efficiency – but also documented evidence
of effectiveness. This helps owners clearly track fuel savings
and hull performance, with the aim of providing a tangible
return on investment.”
“The market is showing a growing appreciation of the
added value and benefits delivered by our antifouling
coatings, and in particular HPS,” adds Johansen. “Major
industry players like UASC are leading a new wave of
environmentally responsible ship-owners. They, like us, are
focused on contributing to a more efficient and sustainable
industry. Improving hull coatings is a fundamental part of
that push.”
The state-of-the-art site is
AkzoNobel’s sixth manufac-
turing plant in the Middle
East.

TQC LOW VOLTAGE
PINHOLE DETECTOR
Dutch developer of paint test equipment TQC has
released the TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector to evalu-
ate defects on different coating types applied to metal
substrates using the wet sponge technique, notes a write-up
from the company’s agents in India Amkette Analytics Ltd.
The TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector is available in two
models: LD8100 and LD8105. The basic model has 9V and
90V mode. The advanced model also has 24V and 67.5V
modes. Both models are microprocessor controlled and
equipped with a color display, automated self-diagnostics,
ground failure indication, pinhole counter, acoustic-, visual,
and vibration indicator.
Coating
irregularities
can be due to a
number of dif-
ferent causes.
Surface
contamination
or unsuitable
climate condi-
tions prior to
the applica-
tion, holidays
or entrapped
dust or air
bubbles may lead to issues like pinholes.
Outdoor or underground coating applications which are
likely to have various degrees of fluid exposure can be
susceptible including areas like inner linings of tanks and
pipes. Pinholes in those systems will inevitably lead to a
premature coating failure so detection at an early stage is
critical. .
The correct voltage depends on the coating thickness; 9
volt for coatings up to 300 micron; 67.5 volt for coatings up
to 400 micron; 90 volt for coatings up to 500 micron.
The TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector consists of a
battery operated instrument with ground lead and a wet
sponge electrode. The ground lead is connected to the bare
substrate. Movement of the wetted sponge over the test area
allows moisture to pass into the pinhole due to capillary ab-
sorption thus making contact with the base substrate which
acts as a ground causing an audible, visual or tactile / vibra-
tion alarm to indicate a pinhole. The number of detected
pinholes is stored in memory, and remains available after
power down, even when replacing the batteries.
Operating the TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector is very
easy; the interface is menu based and intuitively operated by
a single button, the write-up concludes.

BAYER MATERIALSCIENCE
OFFERS DIVERSE
PRODUCT RANGE FOR
DIRECTCOATING
TECHNOLOGY
A customized, harmonious interior design is an impor -
tant factor for an increasing number of car buyers. Surfaces
should exude quality, feel good and be robust enough to
withstand everyday wear and tear. At the same time, the
automotive industry is committed to reducing the cost of
manufacturing components and significantly improving
productivity. The DirectCoating/DirectSkinning technol-
ogy co-developed by Bayer MaterialScience fulfills all of
these requirements, notes a press release from the company.
Combined with special plastic grades, the process allows
coated components to be manufactured efficiently in a
single step.
The surfaces of various components can be freely
designed over a broad range to meet individual customer
demands. “Transparent or colored coatings based on Bayer
raw materials have been formulated in such a way that their
appearance can vary from matte to glossy to a piano-like
finish,” says Dr Johannes Scherer, project manager of the
DirectCoating/DirectSkinning. “The feel can be set to hard
or soft. Pebbled and structured surfaces are also possible
with the appropriate mold design.” This development is part
of a new, integrated material concept from Bayer Material-
Science for the
future of auto-
motive interior
design.
In the Di-
rectCoating
process, a
plastic substrate
is injection
molded in the
first cavity of a
two-component
mold. When it is then placed in the second cavity of the
mold, a narrow gap results that is flooded with a polyure-
thane coating as the second component. “After opening the
mold, the ready-coated part can be removed immediately
for further processing,” explains processing engineering
expert Jan Helmig. “The surface structure of the mold has
been transferred perfectly to the polyurethane.”
The concept developed by Bayer MaterialScience pro-
vides customers and end users with a matched system that
fulfills the desire for high-quality materials with decorative
and robust surfaces. These products are already available
for customer projects.
Typical applications of VpCI®-389 coating include
equipment lay-up, parts processing protection,
overseas shipping, and maintenance repairs and
parts storage.
The new Bayblend® grades for car interiors,
for example, exhibit significantly improved
coating adhesion compared to standard blends.

with the appropriate mold design.” This development is part
of a new, integrated material concept from Bayer Material-
Science for the
future of auto-
motive interior
design.
In the Di-
rectCoating
process, a
plastic substrate
is injection
molded in the
first cavity of a
two-component
mold. When it is then placed in the second cavity of the
mold, a narrow gap results that is flooded with a polyure-
thane coating as the second component. “After opening the
mold, the ready-coated part can be removed immediately
for further processing,” explains processing engineering
expert Jan Helmig. “The surface structure of the mold has
been transferred perfectly to the polyurethane.”
The concept developed by Bayer MaterialScience pro-
vides customers and end users with a matched system that
fulfills the desire for high-quality materials with decorative
and robust surfaces. These products are already available
for customer projects.
Typical applications of VpCI®-389 coating include
equipment lay-up, parts processing protection,
overseas shipping, and maintenance repairs and
parts storage.
The new Bayblend® grades for car interiors,
for example, exhibit significantly improved
coating adhesion compared to standard blends.

PPG INTRODUCES
P190-6930 PERFORMANCE
CLEARCOAT
PPG Industries’ (www.ppgrefinish.com) automotive
refinish business has launched P190-6930 Performance
Clearcoat. The new 2.1 clearcoat is intended specifically for
use with waterborne AQUABASE® Plus basecoat by PPG.
It is designed for high-production collision centers and pro-
vides excellent throughput and impressive gloss retention,
notes a press note from the company.
P190-6930 features PPG’s innovative resin technology
engineered for waterborne basecoats, making it the appro-
priate solution for shops seeking a low-VOC production
clear. Used with Aquabase Plus
basecoat, a vital part of the NEXA
AUTOCOLOR® refinish system
by PPG, P190-6930 delivers the
high-quality results and efficient
cycle-time performance progressive
collision centers require.
“PPG is very pleased to offer our
customers this advanced low-VOC
clearcoat,” said Tim Jones, PPG
waterborne segment manager.
“P190-6930 is exactly what colli-
sion centers want in a performance
clearcoat: It’s easy to apply, it
enhances productivity and it consis-
tently provides an outstanding finish.
Paint technicians will be able to take great pride in their
work and will appreciate how reliably this clear performs.”
P190-6930 enhances throughput with quick air-dry and
bake cycle times – 4 hours and 25 minutes respectively –
that result in superior finish hardness. With four reducer
options, the clearcoat adapts to a wide range of operating
temperature and humidity conditions. In addition, it can be
buffed in less than one hour after cool down if required. The
result is excellent gloss retention and finish.
AKZONOBEL MIMICS
NATURE TO DEVELOP
ADDITIVE WHICH MAKES
ROADS SAFER
AkzoNobel (www.akzonobel.com) has launched an
additive for road salt which helps to protect against frost
damage and makes driving safer.
Inspired by the ability of certain animals to with-
stand cold and prevent ice forming in their bodies,
Ecosel®AsphaltProtection is a fully biodegradable additive
for de-icing brine. It works by slowing the freezing pro-
cess, resulting in soft, slushy ice, rather than hard, abrasive
ice. “Adding Ecosel®AsphaltProtection to normal winter
road salt can reduce frost damage by around 50 percent,”
explained Werner Fuhrmann, member of the AkzoNobel
Executive Committee responsible for Specialty Chemicals.
“Municipalities and governments will substantially benefit
from the results - less need for road repairs, fewer traffic
jams, lower maintenance costs
and greater road safety.”
“The additive not only protects
people and the planet, it also
makes economic sense as it brings
down the total cost of owner-
ship,” continued Fuhrmann. By
mimicking nature, AkzoNobel
researchers were able to tackle the
repeated freeze-thaw cycles that
affect asphalt mixtures. Water
trapped inside asphalt expands by
about 9 percent when it freezes, breaking up the road itself.
Passing traffic then further accelerates the damage.
Ecosel AsphaltProtection works by preventing the water
trapped inside the asphalt pores from turning into hard ice.
It encourages the formation of slushy ice, which is mechani-
cally weaker than the asphalt and therefore substantially
reduces the risk of damage.
The P190-6930 is easy
to apply, enhances
productivity and con-
sistently provides an
outstanding finish.

DENSO’S STEELCOAT
Due to design and operating conditions, the external
base area of steel storage tanks is vulnerable to corrosion
because cracks that form here collect water. As a long
lasting solution to this problem
Denso have developed the Denso
Steelcoat Tank Base Protection
System, notes Mr Sathyapal
Nair ([email protected]), Winn
& Coales Denso Ltd, Regional
Manager.
The system seals the vulnerable
area with a tough flexible weather
resistant outer-armored coating.
The system is easy to apply, re-
quires minimum surface preparation, is flexible and allows
for tank movement, seals and deflects water. Topcoats are
available in a wide range of colors.
RUSTOFIX 1411
Rustofix 1411 from Innovative Coating Industries
(www.promtechaerosol.com) is a rust converter cum rust
preventive cum a primer coat. The product has a very good
adhesion on all types of steel and
provides a 12 – 15 micron primer
coating which is bluish / brown /
black in color. Explains Mr Pradeep
Vaidya, Director – Marketing, Rusto-
fix 1411 is a water-based emulsion
which contains complexing (chelat-
ing) agents. It air dries in 10 – 15
minutes and is non flammable. Rustofix 1411 can be used
by spray / dip, brush and swabbing. The black coating is ab-
solutely adherent to metal and hard dries within eight hours
and can be over-coated after 24 hours.
The coated mild steel fabrication will remain rust protect-
ed even after this single application. Overcoating with zinc
rich paint or any high grade paint like epoxy, polyurethane,
CRPs (chemical resistant paints), modified acrylics, UF/MF
resin based paints will enhance the anti-corrosion life of the
metal and will add to the aesthetics.

SuperAi – a nanocomposite coating that im-
parts anti-icing properties to the underlying substrate. The
transparent coating also provides a hard, dense and smooth
finish. Surfaces treated with SuperAi exhibit reduced ice
adhesion, thereby preventing ice buildup. SuperAi can be
applied to a variety of substrates, including plastics, metals,
glass, and ceramics. NANOMYTE
®
SuperAi is a single
component coating that
is easily applied by dip,
spray, or brush. Poten-
tial applications include
occurrences where ice
removal is a challenge
(e.g., wind turbine blades,
power transmission lines
and cables, windshields
and other glass surfaces in automobiles). The coating also
provides durability and additional corrosion protection.
NANOMYTE

SuperAi can be applied on clean surfaces
using a commercial high volume, low pressure (HVLP)
spray gun. The coating can also be applied using a roller or
brush, where coating is done in a cross-pattern; left to right,
then up and down as quickly as possible since the coating
dries quickly. SuperAi can be cured at room temperature by
exposing the coating to ambient conditions for 6 to 8 hours.
Accelerated curing is achieved in 1 hour or less at tempera-
tures in the range of 100 – 150°C.

an you give us a brief intro-
duction about your organiza-
tion, The Society for Protec-
tive Coatings (SSPC)?
SSPC: The Society For Protective Coat-
ings is an organization dedicated to the
use of high-performance coatings for
the protection and preservation of steel,
concrete and other industrial structures.
The organization was founded in 1950
as the Steel Structures Painting Council
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA by a
group of steel makers. The idea was to
find ways to preserve their steel struc-
tures. In 1997, the name of the associa-
tion was changed to SSPC: The Society
for Protective Coatings to better reflect
the changing nature of coatings tech-
nology and the ever-expanding types
of construction materials. SSPC is the
only non-profit association that is to-
tally focused on the mission to promote
and support the use of protective, ma-
rine and industrial coatings for corro-
sion protection.
What are the activities of SSPC?
SSPC’s technical committees develop
both mandatory documents (standards,
standard procedures, methods or speci-
fications) to be used in preparation of
procurement documents for painting
work, and non-mandatory documents
(guides, technology updates, technol-
ogy reports, and technology guides)
that provide guidance in current good
practices.
Besides, we publish technical books,
videotapes, CDs, provide training and
certification courses, painting contrac-
tor certification programs, hold confer-
ences, events and webinars.
Can you tell us a bit more about your
training programs?
SSPC offers a wide range of training
courses and individual certification
programs for coating professionals
at every level of experience. We hold
around 400 courses a year with vari-
ous programs in Surface Preparation
and Coating Application; Inspection;
Coatings Technology; Management
and Safety.
Most programs involve classroom
lectures, team exercises, workshops,
practical training and assessments.
Some programs are also available on-
line.
Though we are North American
heavy, we have now moved into grow-
ing economies like China and India and
other Asian countries. Though we hold
these programs in places like Singapore
and the Middle East, we would like to
make a start in India soon and are on
the lookout for people who we could
associate with.
Incidentally, SSPC’s biggest revenue
generator is the training and certifica-
tion programs.
We would like to know a bit more
about the SSPC standards, how they
are developed, etc.?
SSPC’s surface preparation and other
standards are used in painting specifi-
cations worldwide to provide a solid
foundation for protective coatings
work. These standards are developed
through the consensus process. We
have numerous technical committees
whose functions is the development
of consensus documents such as stan-
dards, guides, technology updates and
qualification procedures. Each of these
documents is prepared using consensus
procedures in accordance with the es-
sential requirements of the American
National Standards Institute. SSPC
standards are based on the experience
of contractors, consultants, material
and equipment suppliers, manufactur-
ers, facility owners, and others in the

Interview
achieved by a group of knowledgeable
persons.
How SSPC is different from other
coating and corrosion related organi-
zations?
The focus of SSPC as our name sug-
gests The Society for Protective Coat-
ings is on coatings. Other organizations
with similar missions also include other
corrosion related activities like cathodic
protection, surface engineering and use
of other corrosion mitigating materials.
How many members do you have?
The organization has around 10,700 in-
dividual members and over 940 corpo-
rate members. These include the gamut
from paint manufacturers, equipment
suppliers, other material suppliers like
abrasive suppliers, tarpaulins, contain-
ment system suppliers, contractors, en-
gineers, consultants, etc. Incidentally,
thirty five percent of our members are
industrial painting contractors.
As I said earlier, we are North Ameri-
can heavy, but slowly expanding reach
and looking forward to grow a chapter
in India. Currently, 17 percent of SSPC
members are from outside of the USA.
How can one become a member of the
SSPC?
The process is very simple. Visit our
website www.sspc.org , complete the
membership form online; it’s very easy.
What are the latest developments hap-
pening within the coating industry?
I keep hearing a lot about nano coat-
ings, self healing coatings and coatings
needing fewer numbers of applications.
A lot of people are moving from three
coat systems to two coat and even one
coat systems. Fewer number of coats
converts to more in savings by way of
material and labor costs.
What are the biggest changes you have
seen within the industry, say the last 20
years?
According to me, one thing that stands
out; facility owners like transporters, re-
fineries, petrochemical plants, etc., want
a well trained, qualified workforce. Af-
ter all, they very well realize it is better
to do the coating job right the first time
rather than redo a bad job which can turn
out to be an expensive affair.
Do you have a trademark event that is
held each year?
Yes, of course! The year 2015 represents
a key milestone in the history of SSPC
as we celebrate our 65th anniversary!
SSPC’s annual meeting is the coating
industry’s only industrial, marine, pro-
tective and industrial and light industrial
coatings conference. The exhibition of-
fers the opportunity to interact with over
2,000 professionals including facility
owners, those who specify coatings, end
users, manufacturers, contractors, engi-
neers, consultants and inspectors.
SSPC 2015 featuring GreenCoat will
return to Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Feb-
ruary 3 – 6, 2015. Making things even
more interesting is the fact that SSPC
2015 is going to run concurrently with
World of Concrete, giving you more op-
portunities than ever before to network
with owners, suppliers, and contractors.
SSPC 2014 was held in Orlando, Flori-
da.
Finally, a brief about yourself…
I am a retired US Army Lieutenant Colo-
nel. I joined SSPC in 1994 because they
wanted a person who could manage and
organize all the activities of an associa-
tion. I fit right in and here I am! n

to do the coating job right the first time
rather than redo a bad job which can turn
out to be an expensive affair.
Do you have a trademark event that is
held each year?
Yes, of course! The year 2015 represents
a key milestone in the history of SSPC
as we celebrate our 65th anniversary!
SSPC’s annual meeting is the coating
industry’s only industrial, marine, pro-
tective and industrial and light industrial
coatings conference. The exhibition of-
fers the opportunity to interact with over
2,000 professionals including facility
owners, those who specify coatings, end
users, manufacturers, contractors, engi-
neers, consultants and inspectors.
SSPC 2015 featuring GreenCoat will
return to Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Feb-
ruary 3 – 6, 2015. Making things even
more interesting is the fact that SSPC
2015 is going to run concurrently with
World of Concrete, giving you more op-
portunities than ever before to network
with owners, suppliers, and contractors.
SSPC 2014 was held in Orlando, Flori-
da.
Finally, a brief about yourself…
I am a retired US Army Lieutenant Colo-
nel. I joined SSPC in 1994 because they
wanted a person who could manage and
organize all the activities of an associa-
tion. I fit right in and here I am! n

S
tanford engineers have
invented a revolutionary coating
material that can help cool build-
ings, even on sunny days, by radiating
heat away from the buildings and send-
ing it directly into space.
A team led by electrical engineering
Professor Shanhui Fan and research
associate Aaswath Raman reported
this energy-saving breakthrough in the
journal Nature.
The heart of the invention is an ul-
trathin, multilayered material that deals
with light, both invisible and visible, in
a new way.
Invisible light in the form of infrared
radiation is one of the ways that all ob-
jects and living things throw off heat.
When we stand in front of a closed
oven without touching it, the heat we
feel is infrared light. This invisible,
heat-bearing light is what the Stanford
invention shunts away from buildings
and sends into space.
Of course, sunshine also warms
buildings. The new material, in addi-
tion dealing with infrared light, is also a
stunningly efficient mirror that reflects
virtually all of the incoming sunlight
that strikes it.
The result is what the Stanford team
calls photonic radiative cooling – a
one-two punch that offloads infrared
heat from within a building while also
reflecting the sunlight that would oth-
erwise warm it up. The result is cooler

buildings that require less air condi-
tioning.
“This is very novel and an extraor-
dinarily simple idea,” said Eli Yablono-
vitch, a professor of engineering at the
University of California, Berkeley, and
a pioneer of photonics who directs the
Center for Energy Efficient Electronics
Science. “As a result of professor Fan’s
work, we can now [use radiative cooling],
not only at night but counter-intuitively in
the daytime as well.”
The researchers say they designed the
material to be cost-effective for large-
scale deployment on building rooftops.
Though still a young technology, they
believe it could one day reduce demand
for electricity. As much as 15 percent of
the energy used in buildings in the United
States is spent powering air conditioning
systems.
In practice the researchers think the
coating might be sprayed on a more solid
material to make it suitable for withstand-
ing the elements.
“This team has shown how to passively
cool structures by simply radiating heat
into the cold darkness of space,” said No-
bel Prize-winning physicist Burton Rich-
ter, professor emeritus at Stanford and
former director of the research facility
now called the SLAC National Accelera-
tor Laboratory.
A warming world needs cooling tech-
nologies that don’t require power, ac-
cording to Raman, lead author of the Na-
ture paper. “Across the developing world,
photonic radiative cooling makes off-grid
cooling a possibility in rural regions, in
addition to meeting skyrocketing demand
for air conditioning in urban areas,” he
said.
USING A WINDOW INTO SPACE
The real breakthrough is how the Stan-
ford material radiates heat away from
buildings.
As science students know, heat can be
transferred in three ways: conduction,
convection and radiation. Conduction
transfers heat by touch. That’s why you
don’t touch an oven pan without wear-
ing a mitt. Convection transfers heat by
movement of fluids or air. It’s the warm
rush of air when the oven is opened. Radi-
ation transfers heat in the form of infrared
light that emanates outward from objects,
sight unseen.
The first part of the coating’s one-two
punch radiates heat-bearing infrared light
directly into space. The ultrathin coating
was carefully constructed to send this
infrared light away from buildings at the
precise frequency that allows it to pass
through the atmosphere without warming
the air, a key feature given the dangers of
global warming.
“Think about it like having a window
into space,” said Fan.
AIMING THE MIRROR
But transmitting heat into space is not
enough on its own.
This multilayered coating also acts as a
highly efficient mirror, preventing 97 per-
cent of sunlight from striking the building
and heating it up.
“We’ve created something that’s a ra-
diator that also happens to be an excellent
mirror,” said Raman.
Together, the radiation and reflection
make the photonic radiative cooler nearly
9 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the sur-
rounding air during the day.
The multilayered material is just 1.8
microns thick, thinner than the thinnest
aluminum foil. It is made of seven layers
of silicon dioxide and hafnium oxide on
top of a thin layer of silver. These layers
are not a uniform thickness, but are in-
stead engineered to create a new material.
Its internal structure is tuned to radiate in-
frared rays at a frequency that lets them
pass into space without warming the air
near the building.
“This photonic approach gives us the
ability to finely tune both solar reflec-
tion and infrared thermal radiation,” said
Linxiao Zhu, doctoral candidate in applied
physics and a co-author of the paper.
“I am personally very excited about
their results,” said Marin Soljacic, a phys-
ics professor at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. “This is a great example
of the power of nanophotonics.”
FROM PROTOTYPE TO BUILDING
PANEL
Making photonic radiative cooling practi-
cal requires solving at least two technical
problems.
The first is how to conduct the heat in-
side the building to this exterior coating.
Once it gets there, the coating can direct
the heat into space, but engineers must
first figure out how to efficiently deliver
the building heat to the coating.
The second problem is production.
Right now the Stanford team’s prototype
is the size of a personal pizza. Cooling
buildings will require large panels. The
researchers say there exist large-area fab-
rication facilities that can make their pan-
els at the scales needed.
THE COSMIC FRIDGE
More broadly, the team sees this project
as a first step toward using the cold of
space as a resource. In the same way that
sunlight provides a renewable source of
solar energy, the cold universe supplies a
nearly unlimited expanse to dump heat.
“Every object that produces heat has to
dump that heat into a heat sink,” Fan said.
“What we’ve done is to create a way that
should allow us to use the coldness of the
universe as a heat sink during the day.”
In addition to Fan, Raman and Zhu, this
paper has two additional co-authors: Marc
Abou Anoma, a master’s student in me-
chanical engineering who has graduated;
and Eden Rephaeli, a doctoral student in
applied physics who has graduated. n

MITIGATING PIPELINE CORROSION THROUGH R&D
To ensure a long, safe operation pipelines require monitoring and maintenance. Researchers in universities as well as corporate research
and development wings are constantly working on ways to monitor and prevent corrosion in pipelines
A
s a very efficient means of
transport liquid goods, pipe-
lines have been used for cen-
turies. Pipelines are known to be the
safest and most efficient means of trans-
porting crude oil from producing fields
to refineries and processing plants and
of distributing petroleum products like
gas to the consumer. Pipelines be-
tween refineries and major urban cen-
ters are replacing traditional modes of
road and rail transportation. But, unfor-
tunately, once installed underground,
there is sometimes an assumption that it
will last forever. To ensure a long, safe
operation pipelines require monitoring
and maintenance. Usually, companies
will monitor flow rate, product in the
line and other operational parameters
as these directly affect day to day op-
erations and income.
But, one area often overlooked is the
condition of the pipe itself. Pipeline
condition can be assessed both inter-
nally and externally. Internal options
include pressure monitoring, corro-
sion coupons and inline inspection tools.
Externally, the pipeline can be assessed
with a number of different tools.
External threats to the pipeline can be
very hazardous to the operation of the
line and to the area around it. Reports of
leaking pipes in the ground are numer-
ous. Sometimes the consequences are
minor. A broken water-pipe will cause
some flooding in a small area. But, there
is a high potential for explosions, fire
and casualties when an oil or natural gas
pipeline ruptures. The causes of these
ruptures can be varied; incorrect opera-
tional pressure, failed welds, third party
damage and corrosion. These dangers
can be minimized by having strong com-
pany policies and oversight in place.
Projects in various stages of implemen-
tation will more than double the length of
India’s natural gas pipeline system. India
leads the region in terms of planned pipe-
line length addition by 2020 with its plan
to add 20,473km. As compared to other
developing countries, the network of
pipeline India is still very insignificant.
In America it has about 200,000 km of
pipeline and has come into existence
from the early 19th century.
To prevent corrosion of the pipeline,
a regular monitoring and maintenance
program must be in place.
While there are traditional methods
such as coatings and cathodic protection
to prevent corrosion, researchers in uni-
versities as well as corporate research
and development wings are constantly
working on new ways to monitor and
prevent corrosion in pipelines. In this is-
sue, we try and bring together some of
the latest developments in this field.
THE SMART CORROSION
DETECTOR BEAD
Material scientists at Battelle Memorial
Institute, in Columbus, Ohio, have de-
veloped The Battelle Smart Corrosion
Detector™ bead to spot and treat corro-
sion in pipelines and other valuable met-
als. The bead not only detects corrosion
but delivers a payload to help heal the
microscopic cracks that rust creates.
The beads look like a fine, whitish
powder that can be mixed with coat-
ings used to protect pipelines and other
critical infrastructure subject to cor-
rosion. The self-healing smart beads
detect and reveal corrosion forming on
metal before it is visible to the naked
eye. Once activated, the 20 to 50 mi-
cron beads release a proprietary chemi-
cal that fills the cracks.
The beads fluoresce in the presence
of corrosion and can be seen with a
special light. This not only provides an
early indication that corrosion is hap-
pening (even if it isn’t showing through
the paint), but also creates an opportu-
nity to mitigate the underlying problem
while the beads repair and stem the on-
set of the corrosion.
Ram Lalgudi, a principal research
scientist, and Battelle colleagues
Kelly Jenkins, John Stropki and Wes
Childers began working on this appli-
cation of nanotechnology nearly a de-
cade ago. They created a smart coating
derived from functional nanomaterial
that could be applied between a primer
and topcoat. Now, they’ve developed a
proof-of-concept technology that can
be valuable for many industries, espe-
cially oil and gas.
For example, a technician could
run a routine scan of the outer shell
of a pipeline with a hand-held de-
vice and detect the presence of cor-
rosion not yet visible otherwise.
Then, while the nanomaterial was ac-
tively fighting the corrosion, the un-
derlying problem could be addressed
at that section, resulting in significant
savings in time and money, as well as
improved reliability, through early de-
tection and remediation.
“This technology can not only ad-
dress a major issue associated with pro-
tecting existing infrastructure in harsh
or corrosive environments, but it can
also improve the safety and reliability
of new infrastructure as its installed,”
said Lalgudi, adding that Battelle is
seeking collaborators to help take the
product to market.
HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY PIPE
LINING PRODUCTS
Carboline Company recently an-
nounced the release of Polyclad 951,
Polyclad 952, and Polyclad 956 high
performance epoxy pipe lining prod-
ucts specifically designed to increase
flow improvement of natural gas. These
products act as a flow liner, creating a
smooth surface on the interior of pipes
to increase flow efficiency and reduce
energy cost of transporting natural gas.
Decreasing friction with these prod-
ucts can increase pipe flow efficiency
up to 6 percent. Lining the interior of
pipes will also help to keep gas pure and
prevent corrosion, thereby reducing the
need for pipe maintenance. Utilizing a
flow liner will also prevent corrosion
during pipe storage.
Another launch is the Polyclad ARO,
an advanced high performance coating
formulated to protect Fusion Bond-
ed Epoxy (FBE) coated buried steel
pipe from damage during horizontal di-
rectional drilling installations.

road and rail transportation. But, unfor-
tunately, once installed underground,
there is sometimes an assumption that it
will last forever. To ensure a long, safe
operation pipelines require monitoring
and maintenance. Usually, companies
will monitor flow rate, product in the
line and other operational parameters
as these directly affect day to day op-
erations and income.
But, one area often overlooked is the
condition of the pipe itself. Pipeline
condition can be assessed both inter-
nally and externally. Internal options
include pressure monitoring, corro-
sion coupons and inline inspection tools.
Externally, the pipeline can be assessed
with a number of different tools.
External threats to the pipeline can be
very hazardous to the operation of the
line and to the area around it. Reports of
leaking pipes in the ground are numer-
ous. Sometimes the consequences are
minor. A broken water-pipe will cause
some flooding in a small area. But, there
is a high potential for explosions, fire
and casualties when an oil or natural gas
pipeline ruptures. The causes of these
ruptures can be varied; incorrect opera-
tional pressure, failed welds, third party
damage and corrosion. These dangers
can be minimized by having strong com-
pany policies and oversight in place.
Projects in various stages of implemen-
tation will more than double the length of
India’s natural gas pipeline system. India
leads the region in terms of planned pipe-
line length addition by 2020 with its plan
to add 20,473km. As compared to other
developing countries, the network of
pipeline India is still very insignificant.
In America it has about 200,000 km of
pipeline and has come into existence
from the early 19th century.
To prevent corrosion of the pipeline,
a regular monitoring and maintenance
program must be in place.
While there are traditional methods
such as coatings and cathodic protection
to prevent corrosion, researchers in uni-
versities as well as corporate research
and development wings are constantly
working on new ways to monitor and
prevent corrosion in pipelines. In this is-
sue, we try and bring together some of
the latest developments in this field.
THE SMART CORROSION
DETECTOR BEAD
Material scientists at Battelle Memorial
Institute, in Columbus, Ohio, have de-
veloped The Battelle Smart Corrosion
Detector™ bead to spot and treat corro-
sion in pipelines and other valuable met-
als. The bead not only detects corrosion
but delivers a payload to help heal the
microscopic cracks that rust creates.
The beads look like a fine, whitish
powder that can be mixed with coat-
ings used to protect pipelines and other
critical infrastructure subject to cor-
rosion. The self-healing smart beads
detect and reveal corrosion forming on
metal before it is visible to the naked
eye. Once activated, the 20 to 50 mi-
cron beads release a proprietary chemi-
cal that fills the cracks.
The beads fluoresce in the presence
of corrosion and can be seen with a
special light. This not only provides an
early indication that corrosion is hap-
pening (even if it isn’t showing through
the paint), but also creates an opportu-
nity to mitigate the underlying problem
while the beads repair and stem the on-
set of the corrosion.
Ram Lalgudi, a principal research
scientist, and Battelle colleagues
Kelly Jenkins, John Stropki and Wes
Childers began working on this appli-
cation of nanotechnology nearly a de-
cade ago. They created a smart coating
derived from functional nanomaterial
that could be applied between a primer
and topcoat. Now, they’ve developed a
proof-of-concept technology that can
be valuable for many industries, espe-
cially oil and gas.
For example, a technician could
run a routine scan of the outer shell
of a pipeline with a hand-held de-
vice and detect the presence of cor-
rosion not yet visible otherwise.
Then, while the nanomaterial was ac-
tively fighting the corrosion, the un-
derlying problem could be addressed
at that section, resulting in significant
savings in time and money, as well as
improved reliability, through early de-
tection and remediation.
“This technology can not only ad-
dress a major issue associated with pro-
tecting existing infrastructure in harsh
or corrosive environments, but it can
also improve the safety and reliability
of new infrastructure as its installed,”
said Lalgudi, adding that Battelle is
seeking collaborators to help take the
product to market.
HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY PIPE
LINING PRODUCTS
Carboline Company recently an-
nounced the release of Polyclad 951,
Polyclad 952, and Polyclad 956 high
performance epoxy pipe lining prod-
ucts specifically designed to increase
flow improvement of natural gas. These
products act as a flow liner, creating a
smooth surface on the interior of pipes
to increase flow efficiency and reduce
energy cost of transporting natural gas.
Decreasing friction with these prod-
ucts can increase pipe flow efficiency
up to 6 percent. Lining the interior of
pipes will also help to keep gas pure and
prevent corrosion, thereby reducing the
need for pipe maintenance. Utilizing a
flow liner will also prevent corrosion
during pipe storage.
Another launch is the Polyclad ARO,
an advanced high performance coating
formulated to protect Fusion Bond-
ed Epoxy (FBE) coated buried steel
pipe from damage during horizontal di-
rectional drilling installations.

Cover Story
Polyclad ARO is specially designed
for the protection of FBE or epoxy coat-
ed pipeline from gouge and mechanical
damage during directional drilling or
slip bore installations. Polyclad ARO is
applied directly over coated pipe as an
abrasion resistant overlay (ARO) and
provides superior protection in rocky,
rough and mountainous environments.
It absorbs the destructive energy and
minimizes coating damage.
“Polyclad ARO provides excellent
adhesion and superior gouge resistance
to prepared FBE and other coatings,”
said Dallas Finch, VP of Global Re-
search and Development. “This allows
for the coated pipe to be used in the
most severe conditions and extend the
life cycle of the pipeline.”
“The development of Polyclad ARO
allows applicator shops to greatly in-
crease production by speeding up
throughput,” said Randy Roth, VP of
Sales – North America. “With a 10 min-
ute dry to touch and 20 minute cure time
it’s a game changer in the oil and gas
pipeline market.”
NEMO
Bredero Shaw, ShawCor Limited’s pipe
coating division, has developed a new
custom coating product designed for
use on subsea pipeline components and
equipment used in high temperature,
high pressure situations. The new prod-
uct – network epoxy modified olefin
(NEMO) – meets the need for a coating
material to be used on irregularly shaped
parts of subsea production systems, such
as bends, spools, terminations (PLETS),
jumpers and goosenecks.
The NEMO product range includes
NEMO 1.1 and NEMO 2.1 and has been
successfully tested on applications up to
120°C (tests are ongoing for 130°C and
140°C.) NEMO 1.1 is an epoxy-urethane
hybrid suitable for low pressure casting
applications. It overcomes the problems
associated with traditional PU systems
and can be used up to a maximum con-
tinuous operating temperature of 95°C.
NEMO 2.1 also has speed and demold
times similar to PU and can handle con-
tinuous operation up to 120°C.
DISCOVERY
Following considerable interest in its
step out pipeline inspection tool, Dis-
covery™, Tracerco has commenced the
next phase of development of the tech-
nology to target new applications.
Following customer feedback,
Tracerco has commenced R&D work
on further evolutions of the technology,
specifically for use on large rigid risers
as well as a further version for smaller
diameter pipelines, flowlines and jump-
ers (less than 12” OD). Both versions
will include the crawler mechanism de-
veloped for the existing tool.
Lee Robins, Head of Subsea Inspec-
tion at Tracerco, commented: “We have
received a large number of enquiries
from customers relating to very small
diameter pipes, which are difficult to
inspect by conventional methods (due
to the presence of coatings) and deemed
unpiggable. Since Discovery™, has the
capability to inspect pipelines without
the removal of the protective coating,
it was a natural progression to design a

Launched at the beginning of 2014,
Discovery™ is a major breakthrough in
subsea pipeline inspection. For the first
time oil companies are able to non-intru-
sively inspect complex subsea flowlines
(including pipe in pipe, risers and pipe

THE DOUGHNUT CELL
Selecting and qualifying corrosion in-
hibitors to protect oilfield pipelines
from internal corrosion are a notorious-
ly challenging task, but work by a team
of Ohio University researchers can help
simplify the process.
The equation “steel + water = cor-
rosion” is often used by corrosion en-
gineers to express what occurs in oil
and gas upstream operations. Carbon
steel is a material widely used by the
oil and gas industry for pipelines. But it
comes with a serious downside: carbon
steel freely corrodes when it comes into
contact with water, which is produced
with crude oil or natural gas from un-
derground reservoirs.
In upstream production environments,
by contrast, crude oil isn’t corrosive to
pipelines. This inspired a team of re-
searchers at Ohio University’s Institute
for Corrosion and Multiphase Technol-
ogy to explore the concept of “steel +
oil = no corrosion,” as part of their Wa-
ter Wetting Joint Industry Project with
major oil companies.
Earlier corrosion inhibitor research
has focused almost exclusively on the
water phase—essentially neglecting the
effects of the crude oil phase. But now,
in a paper published in the September
2014 issue of CORROSION, the Ohio
University team describes their work
studying the effects of the crude oil
phase on the performance of corrosion
inhibitors.
“The current practice to mitigate
pipeline internal corrosion is to inject
corrosion inhibitors,” explains Chong
Li, formerly a Ph.D. student at Ohio
University. “This makes understand-
ing corrosion inhibition of carbon steel
critical to ensuring asset integrity and
supporting new field developments.” To
explore the effects of the crude oil phase
on the performance of corrosion inhibi-
tors, the researchers relied on common
techniques, but also created a “dough-
nut cell” device designed specifically
to provide measurements of steel wet-
tability.
For starters, corrosion testing within
a glass cell was accomplished by using
electrochemical measurements. “The
corrosion testing cell generates data
about the corrosion rate of carbon steel
with different testing fluids—including
water without an added corrosion in-
hibitor, water with an added corrosion
inhibitor, or water with a layer of crude
oil and an added corrosion inhibitor,”
notes Li.
The team also obtained contact an-
gle measurements with a custom-built
goniometer to determine the wettability
of steel—how much oil or water will
spread on its surface. To do this, they
created a “doughnut cell” to simulate
oil-water pipe flow on a small scale.
This device is capable of providing
measurements of the wettability of the
steel surface under dynamic (flow) con-
ditions, whereas a goniometer provides
only details about static (no-flow) con-
ditions.
Using these combined techniques,
Li and colleagues found that beyond
lowering the corrosion rate, corrosion
inhibitors can increase the oil wettabil-
ity of steel—making it more difficult for
water to come into direct contact with
the steel, while also making it easier for
water to be dispersed and flow as drop-
lets within the oil rather than flowing
as a separate phase at the surface of the
pipe.
“We hope that our work will simpli-
fy the process of selecting, qualifying,
and optimizing corrosion inhibitors to
protect oilfield pipelines from internal
corrosion,” Li says. “Our small-scale
‘doughnut cell’ device reduces the time
and costs associated with inhibitor qual-
ification.”
What’s next for the team? While their
work has centered on studying oil-wa-
ter two phase flow, the researchers are
now exploring corrosion inhibition in
gas-oil-water three-phase flow. “We’ve
built a high-temperature, high-pressure
version of the ‘doughnut cell’ for testing
conditions similar to oilfield operation
conditions,” says Sonja Richter, for-
merly the Water Wetting project leader
at the Institute for Corrosion and Multi-
phase Technology. “Our team integrat-
ed the effects of the crude oil and cor-
rosion inhibitor into a computer-based
corrosion prediction model to work on
further improvements and to validate
this model.” n

witzerland re-
lies on its 3,500 mo-

thousands more on cantonal
roads – to carry them safely
across valleys, streams, riv-

these bridges have two fac-
tors in common: they are
essential to Switzerland’s
transport infrastructure and
they are made of reinforced
concrete. This material
makes them safe and durable
– until the onset of corro-
sion.
Corrosion occurs when
chloride invades from de-
icing salt and destroys the
reinforcing steel inside concrete or
when CO
2
from the atmosphere lowers
the concrete’s normally high pH. The
damage becomes worse over time and
is often visible only at a very advanced
stage. In the long term, this can jeopar-
dize the usability and safety of bridges
and other supporting structures made
of reinforced concrete. Furthermore,
restoring these bridges is very expen-
sive: the greater the damage caused by
the corrosion, the more costly the re-
pair work. “In addition, many bridges
in Switzerland are already more than
50 years old, which makes corrosion
increasingly problematic for Switzer-
land’s infrastructure,” explains Bern-
hard Elsener, professor at the Institute
for Building Materials at ETH Zurich.
That is why Professor Elsener and
a team of researchers developed the
technology 25 years ago to identify
corrosion at an early stage, attaching
an electrode to a wheel and wheeling
it across the surface of the reinforced
concrete. The sensor measures the
electric potential difference in the re-
inforced concrete – large differences
mean that the reinforcement has al-
ready started to corrode in those areas.
The data is transferred to a computer
and then analysed.
This technology for measuring the
potential variation has been used suc-
cessfully for a long time in the inspec-
tion of bridges, says Elsener. But one
problem remains: “The wheel elec-
trode is attached to a stick and has to
be wheeled manually. This means that
many areas, such as supporting pillars
and the undersides of high bridges, lie
out of reach.”
DETECTING CORRO-
SION WITH A ROBOT

with the Institute of Ro-

of Bernhard Elsener,
Alexis Leibbrandt, Oli-
ver Glauser, Ueli Angst

the Institute for Build-

Gilles Caprari from the
Autonomous Systems

The aim was to develop
a robot that could detect corrosion in
all areas – including sites inaccessible
to people – and at the earliest possible
stage. The researchers did not have to
search long for a solution: “The stu-
dents in one of our focus projects de-
veloped a robot four years ago that can
move not only on the ground, but also
along walls and ceilings. This made it
ideal for our project,” explains Roland
Siegwart, professor at the Institute of
Robotics and Intelligent Systems and
Vice President Research and Corpo-

The robot’s movement is based on
Vortex technology, where a type of
propeller is attached to the underside
of the robot. The propeller rotates fast
enough for a movable suction cup to
stick the robot on to walls and ceil-
ings, where it can then use its wheels
C2D2: NEW ROBOT TO CHECK

ver Glauser, Ueli Angst

ing Materials, as well as
Gilles Caprari from the
Autonomous Systems
Lab at ETH Zurich.
The aim was to develop
a robot that could detect corrosion in
all areas – including sites inaccessible
to people – and at the earliest possible
stage. The researchers did not have to
search long for a solution: “The stu-
dents in one of our focus projects de-
veloped a robot four years ago that can
move not only on the ground, but also
along walls and ceilings. This made it
ideal for our project,” explains Roland
Siegwart, professor at the Institute of
Robotics and Intelligent Systems and
Vice President Research and Corpo-
rate Relations at ETH Zurich.
The robot’s movement is based on
Vortex technology, where a type of
propeller is attached to the underside
of the robot. The propeller rotates fast
enough for a movable suction cup to
stick the robot on to walls and ceil-
ings, where it can then use its wheels
C2D2: NEW ROBOT TO CHECK
CORROSION
Bridges become an infrastructure problem as they get older, as
de-icing salt and carbon dioxide gradually destroy the reinforced concrete.
A new robot can now check the condition of these structures,
even in places that people cannot reach

to move along these surfaces. The robot
is steered via remote control or a com-
puter.
“The robot was originally called
Paraswift and was developed with a
view to being used by Disney. When
a camera is screwed on to the robot, it
can easily film a room from all perspec-
tives,” explains Siegwart. For the new
project, the team rechristened Paraswift
as C2D2 (Climbing Corrosion Detect-
ing Device) and modified it for use as
a corrosion detector: “We made the
casing and wheels more robust and in-
corporated the corrosion-identification
technology,” explains Elsener, who is
spearheading the project.
The electrode is located on the un-
derside of the robot and measures the
potential difference of the reinforced
concrete while the robot moves along
the structure. A specialist then analyses
the collected data. The engineers also
attached a pink ball to the top of C2D2,
which makes it easier for cameras to
detect it and for researchers to control
and locate it. This ball contains an addi-
tional camera that records the surround-
ings and enables the robot to identify
and avoid any potential obstacles.
SUCCESSFUL INITIAL TESTS
The team hopes that by the end of the
project in mid-2015, the robot will be
able to identify and overcome such ob-
stacles by itself. The researchers also
intend to replace C2D2’s manual steer-
ing with a navigation system, which
will make the robot autonomous, and
they are currently working on a soft-
ware program that will analyze much
of the data itself.
The project team patented the robot
in 2012. Companies interested in a li-
cense can contact ETH transfer, the
technology-transfer office at ETH Zur-
ich. C2D2 has already proved its worth
during tests on various bridges in Swit-
zerland. The engineers now need only
to optimize the robot for use on vertical
surfaces. They will conduct more tests
before the end of the project. The Fed-
eral Roads Office (FEDRO), which is
funding the project, will decide based
on these results whether to use C2D2
for regular bridge inspections in the
future. This is something that Elsener
definitely recommends: “C2D2 can
help to create a safe and sustainable
infrastructure at a relatively low cost
– that was the motivation behind the
project.”

gation of service life’ category in an in-
ternational competition at the Concrete
Innovation Conference (COIN) held in

COATINGS AND ANTI CORROSION ENGINEERING REVIEW

At the end of this series, Coatings & Anti
Corrosion Engineering Review, in associ-
ation with the Blastline Institute of Surface
Preparation and Painting, will give out
certificates to our subscribers on answer-
ing a simple question paper based on this
series.
I
n the previous three chapters, we
have been learning how paints
are classified i.e. physically dry-
ing paint and chemically curing paint,
their peculiar characteristics and ex-
amples of the same. In this edition,
we will learn about other film forming
mechanisms such as humidity curing,
zinc silicates, and heat curing paints to
conclude this lesson on classification
and properties of paint. In the forth-
coming edition, we will learn about
the functions or purposes of paint.
OTHER FILMFORMING
MECHANISMS
Humidity Curing
Humidity curing binders polymerize
and form films through a reaction with
water, usually in the form of vapor
contained in the surrounding air.
Binders of interest are ethyl silicate
and moisture curing (one-pack) poly-
urethane. Since ethyl silicate is used
predominantly for zinc silicate coat-
ings, and its properties, when cured,
are similar to those of potassium and
lithium zinc silicates, it is included
with these carbon dioxide curing sili-
cates.
Polyurethane (one pack)
The tendency of the isocynate group
to react with water can be utilized by
employing isocyanates with relatively
large molecules. After application the
paint or varnish cures by absorbing
moisture from the air.
Moisture curing polyurethanes
have properties similar to two-pack
polyurethanes. Major limitations are
their dependence on humidity in the
surrounding air, and that special care
should be exercised in their storage
when they are pigmented (i.e. when
used as binder in a paint).
Also, the production of moisture
curing polyurethanes is an exceeding-
ly tricky business. Mixing often has to
take place under a “nitrogen blanket,’
as no humidity can be allowed close
to the binder until curing is desired.
Zinc Silicates
Silicate binders owe their special
properties to a high content of silicon-
oxide in their composition. In the pro-
tective coatings field silicate binders
are used exclusively pigmented with
zinc, as zinc silicates.
Ethyl silicate dries by the loss of
solvent, alcohol, and cures by a reac-
tion between the silicate and the hu-
midity in the environment.
Lithium, potassium and sodium
silicates dry by the loss of water, and
cure by:
a) a reaction between zinc and sili-
cate, and
b) a reaction between silicate and
carbon dioxide in the air.
Sodium silicate is, and potassium
silicate may be post-cured. That is,
after drying, the application of an
Accelerator (a water-based acid so-
lution) accelerates the curing, which
may otherwise take as long as 5 – 8
days.
General advantages and limita-
tions of zinc silicate coatings are:
Excellent weathering
Excellent solvent resistance
Excellent hardness
Excellent heat resistance (better
than 400°C)
Excellent corrosion prevention
(through galvanic effect)
Require surface preparation of
very high standard, both as regards
cleanliness and anchor profile.
Demanding application condi-
tions (temperature, humidity, contin-
uous stirring and film thickness)
Critical recoating (risk of pop-
ping and/or poor adhesion)
Must be applied directly onto
blast cleaned steel with a definite an-
chor profile (unless modified)
Resistance within the pH range
6 – 9 only.
Silicones (Heat Curing Paints)
While almost all other polymers, with
the obvious exception of inorganic
zinc silicates, have a more or less
branched backbone of carbon atoms;
silicones have backbones of alternat-
ing silicon and oxygen atoms, and car-
bon containing side groups.
Condensation at high tempera-
tures, about 200°C, produces net-
works, and this is the mechanism by
which curing is effected.
Special properties of silicones
are:
Heat resistance (250°C and, if
aluminum pigmented up to 600°C)
Good water resistance
Good weathering
Good chemical resistance
Good gloss retention
Good color retention
Resistant to spillage of mineral,
vegetable and animal oils and fats
Although physically drying, re-
quires high temperature (200°C for
one to two hours) to cure and attain
best properties.
Poor resistance to mechanical
damage, such as impact, abrasion, etc.
Low solvent resistance (before
curing)
Comparatively expensive.
Silicones can, and are being, com-
bined with a number of other resins,
typically alkyds, acrylates, etc., in
order to reduce cost and improve me-
chanical properties in the un-cured sta-
ge. n

ABSTRACT
High solids, powder, waterborne, UV curable coat-
ings, Waterborne UV curable coatings - the green coatings
- have been developed to replace conventional high VOC
and solvent-based coatings. It has overcome the disad-
vantages of traditional solvent-based coatings. However,
the green coatings still need light stabilizers to help avoid
degradation from sun light and improve weather stability.
Everlight Chemical Industrial Corporation (ECIC) has
developed several unique products specifically for green
coatings.
GREEN COATINGS AND LIGHT STABILIZERS
Green coatings mean high-solids, powder, waterborne, UV
curable and Waterborne UV curable coatings. It is de-
signed to eliminate the release of VOC (Volatile Organic
Compounds) from conventional solvent-based coatings.
The cause of the coating degradation such as discolor-
ation, delamination, loss of gloss, cracking and chalking is
because of every materials has chromophores or impurity
content and UV light triggers chromophores to do the
damage. Therefore, UV absorbers and light stabilizers are
both recommended in order to prevent coating decomposi-
tion and the most effective to solve these problems.
To understand more on the Light stabilizers, it can be
divided into two groups: UV absorbers (UVA) and the
Hinder Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS). UVA’s function
is absorbing UV light and transforming it into heat and
the HALS is best known to capture free radical to prevent
material degradation.
LIGHT STABILIZERS RECOMMENDED FOR GREEN
COATINGS
High-Solid Coatings:
It has been developed with solvent-based coatings. The
objective is to reduce the requirement of organic solvents
and increase solids content. Most coating’s system need
to use acidic catalysts to improve film hardness during
thermo-curing processes.
In choosing light stabilizers, it is necessary to consider
its pKb at coatings. Therefore, the right and low basicty
of NOR HALS is the first choice. It is also necessary to
consider its solubility at coatings. Therefore, the liquid
type light stabilizers are the second choice. Before and af-
ter exposure of delta Y measurements (as shown in Figure
1) of adding Eversorb 81 (UVA) and Eversorb 95 (NOR
HALS), coatings would receive different degrees of pro-
tection according to its use level. Evidently, EV-81 mixed
EV-95 was able to provide better protection.

after 2000 hrs

to the coatings
Powder Coatings:
Powder coatings are applied by high pressure, static
electrostatic spraying to let resin and additives be attached
to the surface of object and then cured with heat to form a
durable coating. These results in solvent-free coatings.
Particle size is critical in powder coatings. It is very
difficult for light stabilizers to reach well homogenous
disperse in a short time due to the small dosage. Eversorb
76H (UVA) and Eversorb 60H (HALS), both are of novel

of NOR HALS is the first choice. It is also necessary to
consider its solubility at coatings. Therefore, the liquid
type light stabilizers are the second choice. Before and af-
ter exposure of delta Y measurements (as shown in Figure
1) of adding Eversorb 81 (UVA) and Eversorb 95 (NOR
HALS), coatings would receive different degrees of pro-
tection according to its use level. Evidently, EV-81 mixed
EV-95 was able to provide better protection.

Powder Coatings:
Powder coatings are applied by high pressure, static
electrostatic spraying to let resin and additives be attached
to the surface of object and then cured with heat to form a
durable coating. These results in solvent-free coatings.
Particle size is critical in powder coatings. It is very
difficult for light stabilizers to reach well homogenous
disperse in a short time due to the small dosage. Eversorb
76H (UVA) and Eversorb 60H (HALS), both are of novel

Waterborne Coatings:
Water borne coatings are based on water soluble or water
dispersed resins. It is non-toxic, odorless and nonflam-
mable.
Liquid light stabilizers are normally not easy to disperse
in water-based coatings. Adding UV stabilizers directly to
water-based paint system will cause condensation in coat-
ings and make it difficult to spray. Eversorb AQ series
are new high-performance liquid light stabilizers. They
can be used directly and homogenously disperse in water
borne coatings. Before and after exposure of delta E mea-
surements (as shown in Figure 3) of adding AQ series,
coatings would receive different degrees of protection
according to its use level. Evidently, a higher use level
provides a better protection.

for waterborne coating after 1000 hrs QUV-313nm expo-
sure. Results show EV-AQ1 was able to minimize discol-
oration to the coatings
UV Curable Coatings:
UV curable coatings require direct UV light to initiate
monomers and oligomers. It is converted from a liquid
into a solid film. Specialty about the UV curing coatings
is its speed in production and faster in drying.
Photoinitiators and light stabilizers usually conflict one
another in UV curable system. Eversorb UR series are
high-performance liquid-based light stabilizer and they
do not affect curing speed. Before and after exposure of
delta Y measurements (as shown in Figure 4) of adding
UR series, coatings would receive different degrees of
protection according to its use level. Evidently, a higher
use level provides a better protection.

Waterborne UV Curable Coatings:
UV radiation is a well-accepted technology. However the
UV curable coatings have odor, emission monomers and
not zero VOC emission.
The UV curable waterborne coating has both the advan-
tages of waterborne coating and UV curable coating such
as non toxic, pollution–free, and safety in use. In recent
years the research and development has grown faster.
Eversorb® AQ7, a blend of UV absorber and HALS, is
developed specifically for water borne UV curable coats.
Design of Experiment (DOE) was used in this study. Our
data confirmed that Eversorb® AQ7 can be used directly
and homogenously disperse very well in waterborne UV
curable coating and water systems. Test data showed that
Eversorb® AQ7 in a waterborne clear UV curable coating
would not have negative impacts to cure speed. The results
confirmed that by increasing the concentration of Ever-
sorb® AQ7 in the top coat can effectively protect from UV
light degradation. Furthermore, data also showed that by
increasing the coating thickness, the durability of coating
can also be improved to some degrees.
Before and after exposure of delta Y measurements
(as shown in Figure 5) of adding 5% Eversorb® AQ7 in
waterborne UV curable coat and 15μm coating thickness
can get the best performance (Delta Yellowness Index

on economic data to provide statistics
and models that asset owners can use to
implement asset preservation, manage-
ment, and / or replacement.
“Corrosion is an inevitable, but con-
trollable process which can result in
destructive, even catastrophic incidents
when not properly prevented and man-
aged,” said Bowman. “Costs associat-
ed with corrosion control include direct
expenses like repair and replacement of
assets, but there are additional costs, in-
direct costs like production lost due to
closure for repairs, or the environmen-
tal and physical impact of corrosion-
related failures. This study will explore
direct and indirect costs of corrosion
to several industry sectors around the
world and identify ways to save as
much as 30 percent of those costs.”
A 2001 study funded by the U.S.
Congress with oversight by the Fed-
eral Highway Administration (FHWA)
and support from NACE International
provided broad research on direct and
indirect costs for U.S. industry sectors.
The results of the study indicated the
annual estimated direct cost of corro-
sion in the U.S. was $276 billion. The
study led Congress to develop a Cor-
rosion Policy and Oversight (CPO) of-
fice within the Department of Defense
(DoD); the CPO has demonstrated up to
a 40:1 return on investment for corro-
sion control programs implemented by
DoD. The study also resulted in Con-
gressional support for the launch of the
world’s first undergraduate degree on
corrosion.
“This is an essential study for in-
dustry stakeholders and governments
worldwide,” said Bob Chalker, NACE
International’s Chief Executive Offi-
cer. “It will be the most comprehensive
study to look at costs associated with
the impact of corrosion and the result-
ing data will contribute to future proj-
ect plans, regulations, education, and
more.”
Previous studies on corrosion costs
have focused only on costs in the U.S.
in a few industry sectors. The IMPACT
study will provide a broader range of
information by including global data,
and by taking a corrosion management
practice approach. In addition to ana-
lyzing the cost of corrosion, this study
will compare global practices in an ef-
fort to identify best corrosion manage-
ment practices globally.
The IMPACT study differs from pre-
vious studies by including data which
explains the cost differences between
prevention versus repair and replace-
ment of assets. This data was not in the
FHWA study, and it has been the most
requested information since 2002.
Other new elements of the IMPACT
study include: global data – from the
world’s largest national economies;
emphasis on public safety and environ-
mental impact; in-depth sector analy-
sis – detailed insight into four major
sectors; economic models – focused
on more than costs, these provide case
histories, industry best practices, tem-
plates, and models; and, data from
government agencies, correlated to
real-world consequences of corrosion
failures.
For industry partners, participation
with NACE International and the IM-
PACT study provides: recognition as a
leading organization dedicated to pub-
lic safety, environmental sustainability,
and the advancement of public policies
supporting the use of corrosion control
technologies and qualified corrosion
professionals and experts; recognition
for professionals and companies who
aggressively invest in corrosion con-
trol; opportunity to share case histories
of corrosion mitigation successes; and
a platform to participate in the develop-
ment of best-in-class corrosion preven-
tion practices.
For government partners, the IM-
PACT study presents opportunity for
input on data and / or templates; input
on perspectives shared in certain study
sectors; contribution of knowledge re-
sources to enhance best-in-class cor-
rosion prevention practices; providing
support for government initiatives to
implement corrosion control legisla-
tion; and, joining industry for more
than just data, but also application ori-
ented information.
“The study is expected to be complet-
ed by October 2015 and handed over

t’s time to adopt a zero tolerance
approach to corrosion, in the same
seriousness we should be attacking
cancer or corruption,” said Mr Ananth
Kumar, Union Minister for Chemicals
and Fertilizers, Government of India,
speaking at the Special Plenary Session
at CORCON-2014 in Mumbai recently.
“In fact, I was surprised when I learnt
about the enormity and economics of
corrosion!” he said.
According to a recent report of the
World Corrosion Organization, the an-
nual corrosion cost is approximately
$2.5 trillion or 3 – 4 percent of the
global GDP. In India alone, the loss
on account of corrosion is estimated
at around $ 67 billion (over Rs 4 lakh
crore). “Even if we save 10 percent of
that amount we lose because of corro-
sion, the figure would be enormous.”
Mr Ananth Kumar said, “Our Prime
Minister has laid great emphasis on
‘Make In India’ with ‘Zero Defect’ and
‘Zero Effect’ on environment. Keeping
this in mind, we should work towards
manufacturing products, and infra-
structure that are corrosion-free.”
He said, it is important we should
make corrosion planning compulsory
in all infrastructure projects and just as
we say a product is ‘energy efficient,’
‘fuel efficient,’ we should also be able
to say the product is ‘corrosion control
efficient.’ “Corrosion management
will facilitate the manufacturing sec-
tor to enhance its competitive edge in
the global market. Corrosion control
should become an integral part of ‘good
manufacturing practices.’”
The need for standardization and set
parameters for corrosion control; the
need to make corrosion audit a manda-
tory requirement for industry, and the
need for coordination between the oper-
ation and maintenance departments to-
wards corrosion mitigation were some
of the issues he highlighted. He said,
with use of right materials and proper
maintenance, for example, a pipeline
with three-year longevity, can extend
to 15 years. “This is what we need to
achieve,” he emphasized laying stress
on renewed research and development
in inventing environmentally sustain-
able corrosion control techniques.
Mr Ananth Kumar said he was ready
for an in-house task force on corrosion
control in his ministry. Skill develop-
ment was another area he emphasized
on. “For example, painters should
know why they are doing a particular
job. The skilled and semi-skilled labor
who are part of this should be aware
that what they are doing is part of corro-
sion control.” He also said, the govern-
ment will be mandating an institution,
the CIPET – Central Institute of Plastic
Engineering and Technology to be part
of this skill development program.
“Yes! We have to work hard towards
what our minister has said,” noted Dr
Samir Degan, Chairman, CORCON
2014, while speaking about the high-
lights of the event. Dr Degan said this
conference was unique and unparallel
in many ways. “In fact, this was the

maintenance, for example, a pipeline
with three-year longevity, can extend
to 15 years. “This is what we need to
achieve,” he emphasized laying stress
on renewed research and development
in inventing environmentally sustain-
able corrosion control techniques.
Mr Ananth Kumar said he was ready
for an in-house task force on corrosion
control in his ministry. Skill develop-
ment was another area he emphasized
on. “For example, painters should
know why they are doing a particular
job. The skilled and semi-skilled labor
who are part of this should be aware
that what they are doing is part of corro-
sion control.” He also said, the govern-
ment will be mandating an institution,
the CIPET – Central Institute of Plastic
Engineering and Technology to be part
of this skill development program.
“Yes! We have to work hard towards
what our minister has said,” noted Dr
Samir Degan, Chairman, CORCON
2014, while speaking about the high-
lights of the event. Dr Degan said this
conference was unique and unparallel
in many ways. “In fact, this was the
first time that CORCON has been as-
sociated with the Ministry of Heavy In-
dustries, Ministry of Chemical and Fer-
CORCON 2014: “UNIQUE
AND UNPARALLEL IN MANY WAYS”
Stress on skill development, research and development to reduce
$2.5 trillion global cost of corrosion

mercial Services and others in various
ways.”
Besides plenary talks, key note lec-
tures, invited lectures, there were
around 200 contributory oral and poster
presentations in 15 technical symposia
attended by over 800 delegates from
across the globe, noted Dr Samir. “This
year too, we had an exclusive student
session and besides the technical sym-
posia, eight technical interactive fo-
rums were also organized on relevant
issues.”
Organized by the NACE Internation-
al Gateway India Section, CORCON
2014, now into its 21st edition, was
held at Hotel Grand Hyatt, Mumbai,
November 12 – 15, 2014. An exclusive
exhibition area featured over 60 par-
ticipants showcasing their latest prod-
ucts and included FRP (fiber reinforced
polymer) and US pavilions.
Earlier, at the inaugural function,
Chief Guest Mr Sekhar Basu, Direc-
tor, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre,
Mumbai, said: “With improved corro-
sion management techniques, it is im-
portant that we extend the life of aging
assets. For example, the cost to gener-
ate one kW of power works out to Rs 5
at a new nuclear energy plant, whereas
at old ones like at Tarapur, it works out
to only 90 paise per kW. So, the more
we extend the life of an asset, the more
we save.” Dr Basu was also emphatic
that corrosion management must start
at the design stage. Guest of Honor Mr
B. Narayan, Group President, Reliance
Industries Ltd, felt that a subject on
corrosion must be introduced as basic
education in schools.
In addition, as part of the India USA
commercial dialogue on corrosion, NI-
GIS hosted Mr Arun Kumar, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, Government
of USA and Mrs Mugdha Sinha, Direc-
tor, Ministry of Commerce, Govern-
ment of India. This dialogue focuses on
strategies, standards and regulation to
enhance cooperation between the two
nations to reduce the cost due to cor-
rosion in both economies. Towards this
effort, NIGIS along with FICCI will be
drafting a white paper in the next 30
days to take the dialogue forward.
Every year, NACE International
Gateway India Section (NIGIS) Corro-
sion Awareness Awards are presented
to honor and respect individuals / in-
stitutions for their contribution to cor-
rosion awareness and developments in
the field of corrosion science and tech-
