(Coating Equipment)
From this Article:
Concrete floor waterproofing will protect a floor's integrity by reducing moisture accumulation, minimizing damage by freeze and thaw cycles, lessening spalling and cracks caused by surface erosion,...
(Refractory, Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation)
From this Article:
Chilled water pipes play a vital role in climate control for industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities, particularly if they provide individual cooling for each room, like schools, hotels,...
(Plastics, Elastomers and Polymers)
From this Article:
Microscopic levels of damage can occur in residential water-resistant air barrier membranes during application, and over time, due to wear and tear and environmental elements. Tiny cracks can lead to...
(Plastics, Elastomers and Polymers)
From this Article:
Liquid-applied vapor barriers create a monolithic coating that directly bonds to the exterior wall sheathing. The barriers stop vapor diffusion, which occurs when moisture flows from an area of higher...
(Refractory, Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation)
From this Article:
The best basement wall sealer will effectively stop moisture infiltration through a concrete foundation to prevent the growth of structurally damaging and unhealthy mold, along with corrosion. The...
(Refractory, Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation)
From this Article:
Architects and builders of homes in cold regions must include sufficient cold climate insulation and quality air and moisture barrier systems to ensure airtight, comfortable, healthy, durable, and...
(Refractory, Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation)
From this Article:
If you have come to this page, you probably have questions about non-shielding pipeline coatings. Shielding is hardly a new problem. Concerns were published about shielding starting in the early...
(Refractory, Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation)
From this Article:
The rising need for liquefied natural gas (LNG) demands high-performance technology, like cryogenic pipe insulation, to transport and store cryogenic gas reliably, ensuring safe and efficient...
(Refractory, Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation)
From this Article:
Waterproof foundation walls are a vital component of a strong, durable, and safe house. A waterproof foundation resists bending and shear stresses from lateral water and soil pressures. A well-built...
(Refractory, Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation)
From this Article:
Insulation is a critical component in chilled water systems. Piping that carries water at below-ambient temperatures creates a strong vapor drive toward the pipe. In other words, ambient air - which...
