The Pros and Cons of Coating Selection
There are many benefits of coatings. Yet, there are just as many if not more products available for use in today’s real-world environments. That makes choosing the right type vital for ensuring performance. This course discusses the pros and cons of different coating types such as acrylics, polyurethanes, silicones, and more.
Surface Preparation Standards and Methods
One of the most critical factors for ensuring a successful, long-term coating system is surface preparation. In this course, you will learn how to identify the correct surface preparation technique compatible with your project and the standards associated with each method. Possessing this knowledge is essential for preventing premature coating system failures and the unnecessary implications that may result from such.
Understanding Corrosion and Its Economic Impact
Corrosion is the naturally occurring, gradual breakdown of materials, typically metal resulting from a chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment. NACE classifies corrosion into three groups. Preventing corrosion is vital for avoiding losses. Here you will gain a basic understanding of corrosion, the effects of corrosion in different service environments, and the economic impact of this ever-increasing problem.
