Overview:
A three-coat polyurethane paint system used on the structural steel of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum building situated along Lake Erie is covered in this paper. It describes the abrasion resistance and color retention qualities and low temperature curing capabilities offered by the polyurethane coating system, along with an overview of the various challenges faced during the painting project. A guideline detailing the surface preparation methods and the coating application process is provided, while the requirements for the aromatic zinc-rich polyurethane primer and the aliphatic acrylic polyurethane coating system are detailed. Evaluation methods for testing the performance requirements of the polyurethane coating system are featured in a tabular form.
