Training Services

Our certified instructors provide training and certification preparation for AMPP/NACE/SSPC courses, along with hands-on practical training in coating and corrosion control.

We are conducting short term seminar on awareness in protective coating and tailor made seminar on corrosion control by protective coating.

Protective Coating Seminar Topics

A Protective Coating Seminar can cover a wide range of topics, depending on the target audience (engineers, researchers, industry professionals, etc.). Here are some key topics that could be included:

Fundamentals of Protective Coatings

• Introduction to coatings and their role in corrosion protection
• Types of protective coatings (paints, polymers, metallic, ceramic, etc.)
• Mechanisms of corrosion and how coatings prevent it

Coating Materials & Technologies

• Epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, and other resin systems
• Zinc-rich primers and galvanic protection coatings
• Nanocoatings and advanced materials (graphene, self-healing coatings)
• Thermal spray coatings (HVOF, plasma spray)

Surface Preparation & Application Techniques

• Abrasive blasting (grit, sand, shot) and surface profiling
• Chemical treatments (phosphating, chromating)
• Application methods (spray, brush, roller, dip coating, electrostatic)
• Curing processes (UV, thermal, moisture-cure)

Performance Evaluation & Testing

• Adhesion testing (cross-cut, pull-off)
• Salt spray testing (ASTM B117) and cyclic corrosion testing
• Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for coating durability
• Accelerated weathering tests (QUV, Xenon arc)

Industry-Specific Coatings

• Marine & offshore coatings (anti-fouling, splash zone protection)
• Automotive & aerospace coatings (high-temperature, lightweight)
• Oil & gas pipeline coatings (FBE, 3LPE)
• Concrete and infrastructure coatings (waterproofing, anti-carbonation)

Environmental & Regulatory Considerations

• VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations
• REACH & RoHS compliance in coating formulations
• Sustainable and bio-based coatings
• Waste management and coating removal (abrasive recycling, chemical stripping)

Emerging Trends & Innovations

• Smart coatings (self-healing, anti-microbial, color-changing)
• Digital tools for coating inspection (drones, AI-based defect detection)

Case Studies & Best Practices

• Failure analysis of coating systems
• Long-term performance in harsh environments
• Cost-benefit analysis of different coating solutions
