	The Doerken systems offer very significant corrosion protection from both red and white corrosion, at very thin layers (as little as 8µm) and no risk of hydrogen embrittlement. The systems also work with topcoats to control friction, color, UV resistance, and chemical resistance. The thin layers allow the parts to be assembled with relative ease compared to galvanization or other thick coat applications and offers the state an opportunity to extend the life of the coated products by years, reducing overall labor costs or replacing hardware.

Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	567 Brandi Mitchell Agency	N Disapprove	This product has not been submitted to NTPEP or UK for testing. Also, it cannot be submitted as a standalone product. We only approved entire systems.	Hello, I would be happy to submit fully coated fastener samples for your evaluation. If you could please help me identify the correct contact and address, I'd be happy to process and send. Thank you and please contact me with any questions. John Waltz 734-355-4381	Nov 12, 2020	2811
KYTC	967 Josh Rogers Agency	Y Approve	This sounds very interesting but I am little concerned that the product states that an oven has to be used to cure the paint. May be somewhat difficult on our bridges. May be best to try this out like on a steel girder end instead of the whole bridge.	Hello, thank you for taking the time to consider this. Your point is valid, and we do produce an air-curing basecoat, but it is not the one considered for evaluation in this instance which might be an option for larger parts, however in all fairness I have not conducted a cost analysis of this technology in comparison to galvanization. My apologies if I missed the correct section, but I was actually proposing this technology be used on the fasteners used in the assembly of bridges. Thank you and please contact me with any questions and or concerns. John Waltz 734-355-4381	Jul 09, 2020	2718
