Advanced Protective Coatings Specialist PCS 2 Training

Introduction

This course provides advanced level technology topics related to protective coatings. Highlights include an in-depth discussion of coatings, their basic chemical properties, and any unique considerations for their surface preparation, application, and inspection. Testing coating properties and performance, common coating defects, substrates, selecting coating systems, the specification, and surveys and maintenance planning are also covered.

Objectives

    By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

    • Recognize uses of coatings and linings, best practices and external factors that influence their use
    • Understand the difference between organic and inorganic coatings
    • Recognize the uses and benefits of convertible coatings
    • Understand specialty coating types, advantages/disadvantages, and standards that govern them
    • Discuss coating characteristics including the basic chemistry and unique characteristics that affect surface preparation and application needs
    • Perform common test and qualification methods for liquid-applied coatings
    • Recognize the chemistry of non-liquid and liquid applied coatings
    • Understand the various types of tests performed on coatings and identify coating defects
    • Understand substrate surface preparation issues and industry standards, configuration types, and factors affecting their coating application
    • Develop a complete and unambiguous coating specification.
    • Set coating system selection goals, objectives, performance requirements, design engineered properties, and trade-offs
    • Select an appropriate test to determine the condition of the substrate
    • Select an appropriate test to determine the condition of the existing protective coating system

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

Planning, engineering, technical and supervisory level personnel who work with protective coatings on a regular basis, Specifies, maintenance and project engineers in all industries, marketing representatives of coatings materials or equipment, Unit managers involved in corrosion control
