All Silicones are Not Created Equal

by Gerald L.  Witucki, Dow Corning Corporation

Silicon-based technologies have advanced coatings innovation by improving the durability and physical properties of coating formulations. The author highlights the “silicone” polymer structures, which contribute to the benefits and potential issues associated this broad range of materials.

Corrosion Protection in Maritime Environments: Assessing Systems for Offshore Structures

by Günter Binder, Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute (BAW)

The author compares the accuracy of laboratory test results to that of long-term tests in nature and discusses the creation of standards in order to prevent corrosion of offshore wind generating structures under very corrosive conditions with minimal environmental impact.
