En el episodio inaugural en Español de The Red Bucket, nuestros compañeros de Carboline España Juan Pablo Ortega y Emilie Musso hablan sobre la reciente renovación del icónico Estadio Santiago Bernabéu en Madrid, España. El alcance del proyecto incluyó la aplicación de materiales ignífugos cementosos e intumescentes, así como recubrimientos protectores de alto rendimiento. 00:58 – Introducción: Presentación de Emilie Musso y Juan Pablo Ortega. 02:24 – Renovación del estadio: Alcance del proyecto. 04:21 – Requisitos contra incendios: Normas aplicadas en estadios. 05:47  – Césped retráctil: Impacto en los revestimientos. 07:28 –  Tipos de protección: Uso de mortero y pintura intumescente. 08:55 – Pyrocrete 40: Beneficios y aplicación. 10:20 – Nullifire SC902: Dónde y por qué se usó. 13:55 – Aplicación en una sola capa: Importancia del espesor. 15:58 – Protección anticorrosión: Recubrimientos adicionales. 17:15 – Plazos exigentes: Cómo se cumplió el tiempo. 18:51 – Cierre: Reflexión final sobre el proyecto. 20:45 – Preguntas extra: Toque personal para cerrar el episodio.

It's taken for granted in the corrosion industry that zinc protects steel. But there's more than one way to put zinc on steel and more than one mechanism at work that makes it so protective. Kristen Blankenship returns to The Red Bucket to answer some big questions with even bigger implications:

• What's zinc actually doing on painted, galvanized, and metalized surfaces?
• How do these corrosion protection methods compare in terms of performance?
• Does the standard "zinc-epoxy-urethane" coating system hold zinc-rich primers back from performing as well as they could on their own?
• How many ISO 12944-9 testing cycles will it take before any corrosion appears on panels coated in a two-coat inorganic system?

Kristen also contemplates the deathbed of a lonely scientist.

Water/wastewater operator customers are asking some strange questions lately. To experts Jeremy Sukola and Eric Zimmerman, it’s as if they’re asking for magic paint. In this episode, we identify an emerging demographic trend and the knowledge gap it’s created. Then, Jeremy and Eric explain why the best ways to close that gap are to have hard conversations early and be involved in educating the next generation.

Also, Eric imagines a driving range on the Mayflower and takes a bold stance against eggnog.
