• Abstract:
  The accelerated bridge paint (AB-Paint) program evaluated a new Sherwin-Williams two-coat, ; fast-curing paint system. The system is comprised of an organic zinc-rich primer (SW Corothane I ; Galvapac One-Pack Zinc-Rich Primer B65 G11) and a polyurea-modified high-build urethane ; finish coat (SW Fast Clad Urethane B65950 Series). The two-coat system would be a replacement ; or alternative for the current three-coat paint system (i.e., zinc-rich primer/epoxy intermediate/ ; urethane finish) approved in Bulletin 15. The accelerated bridge painting technology could ; provide a material cost benefit by applying only two coats instead of three. There was the potential ; that the blasting, primer and topcoat could be placed during a work shift, which would result in ; reduced labor cost. There would also be benefit to the traveling public with shorter traffic ; interruption and inconvenience with the accelerated technology.
