Track: Coating Materials
The workshop will provide an overview of an industrial protective coatings project, including design considerations, material selection, surface preparation guides, ambient conditions, and basic quality control techniques. What participants will attain out of this course is a basic understanding of how protective coatings are specified and applied to meet the goals of a project. We will discuss Corrosion, Good Design, Good Paint, Good Specifications, Good Contractors, Good Inspection and Good Maintenance. We will review and present typical inspection instruments used on a paint project, surface preparation guides, how to read a product data sheet and how to measure ambient conditions.
