New Method for Evaluating Wear Resistance of Coating Systems Intended for Use on Concrete Parking Decks
Ylva Edwards CBI Betonginstitutet
Thursday, 6 November, 09:00 - 09:30
Since November 2009, Ylva Edwards is employed by The Swedish Cement and Concrete Research
Institute (CBI) as Senior Researcher, and since 2012 Associate Professor (Docent) in Structural Engineering and Bridges at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.
Before that, she was employed at the KTH within Highway Engineering for ten years and got her
Doctoral degree there in 2005 (Influence of waxes on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture performance). She also worked at the Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) for many years
as researcher and research leader within different highway material areas.
In collaboration with manufacturers / contractors and building owners, the Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Institute
is conducting a research project concerning parking decks. The purpose of the project is to develop a basis for how a parking
deck should be designed with regard to floor coverings on concrete. The resistance to studded tires is here of great importance. This paper focuses on relevant methodology for simulating the kind of studded tire traffic that occurs on parking
decks in Nordic countries.
Field test application of nine different coating systems has been carried out on a garage concrete floor in Gothenburg. The
products involved are: one mastic asphalt system, one concrete floor system, five different polyurethane systems, one polyurea system and one acrylate system. Test slabs have been applied in connection with the work on site, for testing wear resistance in the laboratory. Laboratory tests are conducted for all systems according to three different methods, and evaluated. The focus of this paper is on the development and modification of methodology based on prEN 12697-50 (Resistance to
scuffing), using studded tires. Laboratory testing was carried out at ISAC Institute in Aachen, with the coating system applied
to concrete slabs.
Results so far show that the method is promising for testing the wear resistance of coating systems intended for use on concrete parking decks, and differentiates well between different products.

Joints Filled by Polyurea between Precast Concrete Slabs in Multi Storey Car Parks
Jürgen Magner Kiwa Polymer Institut
Thursday, 6 November, 10:30 - 11:00
Jürgen Magner, after studies of chemistry since 1982 working in the construction chemicals field, former
as head of application department, manager for marketing and export for any kind of reaction resins.
Since 1991 Co-Owner of Polymer Institut. Since 2008, Managing Director of Kiwa Polymer Institut.
Car park steel constructions with precast concrete slabs of about 2,5 x 8 m are a special construction system of a German
engineer company. These constructions have numerous joints to be filled with elastic materials in longitudinal and transversal direction. The movements result from static loads of the building and of dynamic loads from the car traffic itself.
The speech will demonstrate the state of the art to fill the joints, the test procedure with original concrete blocks to simulate
the movements of the joints, the loads and the tremendous flexible effects of the chosen material based on Polyurea.
Developments in Aromatic Curative Technology for Elastomeric Coatings
Yong Tang Albemarle
Thursday, 6 November, 11:00 - 11:30
Dr. Tang has BS in chemistry and PhD.in polymer engineering from University of Science and
Technology of China in 2005. He then did his post-doctoral research at NYU Polytechnic
School of Engineering and University of Central Florida, at dept of Mechanical, Materials and
Aerospace Engineering. Before joining Albemarle Corporation, he worked at Dynamic Innovation as R & D engineer and researched on advanced polymer composites. Currently Dr. Tang
works at Albemarle Corporation as Sr. R & D engineer in curative group. Dr. Tang has published 35 peer reviewed international scientific journal papers and 22 conference papers,
one book chapter, and 2 patents in the field of nanomaterials, polymer composites and
flame retardants, etc. He has been serving as reviewer for 15 international scientific journals since 2006.
New regulations in the world have been driving very high costs and long time frames for registration of new chemicals.
Blending of registered products is an efficient way to explore new applications of aromatic amine curatives. One good example is 4, 4’-Methylenebis (2-chloroaniline) (MOCA) replacement. MOCA is a dominant curative used in cast elastomer and
Japanese roof coating market. There is a desire to find a replacement because of the carcinogenic nature of MOCA.
However, no single amine curative system has been able to deliver the cure speed and physical properties of MOCA. Recently, a curative package has been developed with the combination of the software Design of Experiments (DOE) and has
been successfully used for Japan roof coatings. These coatings are hand applied and based on 3-6% TDI prepolymers with
highly filled systems. The blend of amines delivers appropriate physical properties and prolonged pot-life, which are equivalent and even better than the coating cured with MOCA. Screening work in cast elastomer indicates the curative package
has potential in elastomer application. Future work will be to apply DOE to developing new products in other polyurethane
markets, such as elastomer, adhesive, sealant and foam.

PRESENTATIONS
The impact of REACH can be enormous and in some cases detrimental for certain substances. Isocyanates are being
evaluated and assessed vigorously in this process. To successfully navigate and drive the isocyanates through this journey
without too many negative impacts, it will require the acceleration and elevation of current product stewardship initiatives.
Manufacturers of isocyanates are analysing the options together with regulators and it is clear that the involvement and
commitment of downstream users and their representative associations are key to drive safely together through this
journey that could have many challenges ahead.
In a second part an update will be given on the requirements for safe use that are relevant for polyurea spraying activities,
submitted in the update MDI dossier as part of a REACH substance evaluation process and that will be reflected in due time
in safety data sheets.

Hugo Herault Krypton Chemical
Friday, 7 November, 10:30 - 11:00
1999 – 2012: General Manager of Krypton Chemical, specializing in Polyurethane and Polyurea
1992 – 1999: Arco Chemical (afterwards Lyondell), undertaking several assignments in Corporate Planning & Analysis and Sales & Marketing.
Krypton Chemical, as a formulator of advanced resins for the construction market has been conducting in depth research into
the different resins that are being used as primers for the polyurea market.
The use of polyurea has been increasing thanks to their many advantages in construction and refurbishment applications.
A very common mistake and a limiting factor to this growth is the use of the wrong primers which results in claims and expensive repairs, or even complete job failures.
It is therefore very important to chose the right primer for every substrate and for every situation / final use for the polyurea
coating. It is perhaps even more important to know every primer, and to work within its limitations, in order to take the most
benefit from every product and to minimize potential problems.
Through a scientific approach into this matter, Krypton Chemical has come to some interesting conclusions that will enlighten
decisions to be made by project designers and product installers in their future projects.

Founded in 2007, SPF Depot was started by Patrick Gililland while operating as a foam insulation and roof
coatings contractor. Frustrated by poor support and high prices from OEM suppliers, he started SPF Depot by
providing repair/reconditioning works on OEM parts to make them provide longer life. Within a year, SPF Depot was manufacturing aftermarket parts for several guns used in the markets. Within another year, they introduced their own line of solvents and lubricants used to maintain equipment.
Today, SPF Depot provides aftermarket parts for all of the major brands in the market. Their solvents are used
by manufacturers such as Polymac-USA, IPM Pumps and others. They are stocking distributors for PMCPolymac, Allegro Safety, 3M Safety Products, IPM Pumps, North Safety and others.
They operate from a 10,000’ building in Bossier City, Louisiana USA and from a 20,000’ machine shop. They
stock OEM parts as well as aftermarket parts. SPF Depot has stocking distributors of aftermarket parts and the
OEM parts in Poland, Sweden, S Africa, Japan and Guam.
SPF Depot was awarded the Presidential E-Award for excellence in exporting in 2014 as well as the SBA award
for Export Growth in the State of Louisiana for 2014 and was the only Louisiana company to receive either
award for their rapid growth, marketing and superior customer service.

1. Activities of trade associations must comply with the relevant competition/antitrust rules. The same basic principles
that govern anti-competitive arrangements also apply when trade associations are used to co-ordinate commercial
activities.
2. Violations of competition laws carry serious consequences. For example, the starting level for a cartel fine in the
European Union (EU) is €20 million per company. This figure can be adjusted depending on the circumstances (up to a
maximum of 10% of the annual turnover of the entire group to which that company belongs). Under EU law, it is also
expressly provided that trade associations themselves can be made subject to a fine up to 10% of their turnover.
3. Competition/antitrust authorities in the U.S., the EU and elsewhere are focusing increasingly on the activities of trade
associations. The suspicion is that such associations are a cover for cartel-like behaviour (e.g., price-fixing, collective
discrimination, etc.).
4. International cooperation among antitrust enforcement authorities is also evident. It is no longer uncommon for
governments – particularly the U.S., the EU, Canada and Japan – to coordinate simultaneous searches, service of
subpoenas, and ‘drop-in’ interviews (‘dawn raids’) to avoid premature disclosure of an investigation and the possible
destruction of evidence.
5. As with U.S. antitrust law, it is not necessary for arrangements violating EU competition rules to occur in the territory of
the EU.
6. Equally important, competition concerns will also arise where there is no actual effect on competition in the market
concerned. The authorities will intervene where they perceive there to be a potential effect, even where that effect is
not intended.
7. In general, it should be borne in mind that competition/antitrust rules prohibit arrangements between competitors,
which are intended (or have the effect) to achieve aims such as the following:
 price-fixing: almost any activity, which would allow its members to co-ordinate their pricing policies;
 market-sharing or customer allocation: activities aimed at dividing the given market concerned into distinct
territorial markets or allocating customer groups;
 collective boycotts: a requirement to deal only with other members or to boycott other firms;
 information-exchange arrangements: in general, all exchanges of business information (such as pricing policies, costs
or sales figures) between competitors, which would allow them to co-ordinate their commercial strategies.
8. In addition, certain types of activity particular to trade associations are subject of specific consideration including:




the setting of membership criteria of a trade association,
research and development carried out or co-ordinated by a trade association,
joint publicity and promotion of the generic products by a trade association,
product standardisation, certification and quality measures administered through trade associations.
9. This brief note and the “Dos” and “Don’ts” are intended to give general guidance only with regard to competition/
antitrust laws. Before taking action, particularly regarding any assessment of risk, companies are advised to request
specific advice from the relevant legal counsel.
