Synopsis
Summary Sulfur, an instrumental commodity to global industry, is a highly corrosive commodity typically shipped via rail in a molten state. Shippers must take care to protect their rolling stock by applying linings that resist heat, chemicals, and impacts. In this episode, rail industry expert Lupe Pavon and tank lining expert Steve Liebhart explore service environment, cleaning/surface preparation, and protective lining principles for rail cars in molten sulfur service. They also relate interesting findings from a field inspection. And, Steve considers himself a near-perfect driver in the snow, and Lupe reveals his favorite vegetable. **Timestamps ** 00:00 – Introduction 02:11 – Corrosion mechanisms and failure modes of molten sulfur tank cars 05:36 – A highly stressful service environment for a lining 09:01 – Pitting corrosion and substrate blending for surface preparation 14:12 – Carboline’s new Plasite XHT 400 hybrid epoxy lining 18:14 – Eliminating an extra step in the surface preparation pr
