Lining and Special Coatings Flashcards
What is a ‘lining’?
The term lining is used to describe a coating that is normally in immersion service. They are designed to protect the surface they are applied to and the product inside.
Standard terms for reinforced plastics are:
- Fiber Reinforced Lining (FRL)
- Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP)
- Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
Common resins used in linings are:
- Polyester
- Epoxy
- Vinlester
What are reinforced coatings?
Reinforced coatings are stronger, more resistant to movement, abrasion, and impact than non-reinforced coatings
What is NACE No. 10, SSPC PA 6?
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Linings Applied to the Bottoms of Carbon Steel Storage Tanks
What is NACE No. 11, SSPC PA 8?
Thin Film Organic Linings Applied in New Carbon Steel Process Vessels
What is SP0288?
Inspection of Linings on Steel and Concrete
What is SP0304?
Design, Installation, and Operation of Thermoplastic Liners for Oilfield Pipelines
What is SP0178?
Design, Fabrication, and Surface Finish Practices for Tanks and Vessels to be Lined for Immersion Service
What is SP0295?
Application of a Coating System to Interior Surfaces of New and Used Rail Tank Cars
What is SP0386-2007?

Specialized coatings serve specific limited markets and include but are not limited to:
- Antifouling paint
- Fireproof coatings
- Fluoropolymer coatings
- Thermosetting polymers
- Underwater coatings
- Powder coatings
Antifouling paints are used to minimize roughness on the hull of a ship by reducing the attachment of marine life.
True or false?
True.
The use of toxins in most Antifouling paints are regulated by these organizations:
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- International Maritime Organization (IMO)
- Other country or local regulatory agencies
What are the main types of antifouling coatings?
- Ablative
- Self-smoothing
- Foul release
What is ablative AF coating?
Binder slowly dissolves in seawater, constantly presenting a fresh layer of copper on the surface
What is self-smoothing AF coating?
Similar to ablative; rate is controlled, surface becomes smoother
What is foul release AF coating?
Do not have a biocide, “non-stick” surface
What are some inspection concerns with antifouling coatings?
- Film thickness of each coat is very important
- Oversray on top coat (salt and pepper finish). Surface roughness
- Over coating times. AF does not adhere well to cured epoxy
What is the most commonly used test for industrial and marine fireproofing material?
U.L. 1709 Rapid Rise Fire Tests of Protection Material for Structural Steel
What are the types of fireproofing coatings?
- Cementitious
- Intumescent
What is cementitious fireproof coating?
Made of lightweight cement and can be applied several inches thick
