Infrastructure Trends: Designing for Longer Service Life

How low-VOC, high-solids stacks are helping owners extend repaint cycles and reduce total lifecycle cost.

Key Takeaways

  • Zinc/epoxy/PU stacks remain the benchmark for steel bridges
  • Surface prep and DFT control drive real-world performance
  • Low-VOC options can meet permit limits without sacrificing durability

What’s Changing

Emission Standards Tighten

Owners are requesting water-based or high-solids options that still deliver long-term corrosion defense.

Inspection Rigor Increases

DFT, adhesion, and cure verification are expected at each stage; TDS/SDS must align with inspection plans.

Lifecycle Cost Focus

Longer repaint cycles reduce closures and labor, making higher-performance stacks more attractive.

Training & Safety

Applicator readiness—PPE, ventilation, and mixing—is critical to quality and compliance.

LPTHC Perspective

  • Match stack design to environment: immersion, splash zone, or atmospheric exposure.
  • Use TDS to enforce prep, DFT, and cure windows to reduce rework.
  • Consider low-VOC options early to avoid permit delays.
  • Document everything: inspection checkpoints, SDS, and turnover packages for owners.
