Member £467.00 Standard £520.00
Designed for newcomers to paint related fields and those with less scientific backgrounds.
It will be particularly useful to sales and marketing personnel.
The course provides an introduction to paint technology, covering how and why paints are
used; the different types of paints and their properties; how they are made and the raw
materials used; and paint performance and testing.There is also an overview of the major
paint markets and their drivers.
Paint Technology
9-12 May 2016 and 7-10 November 2016
Member £1,430.00 Standard £1,628.00
Designed for newcomers to the industry who need a firm foundation in the technology
of surface coatings.
A comprehensive and intensive four day course that contains an overview of the raw
materials used in surface coatings and their contribution to the final properties of the
coatings. The study of coating systems emphasises the changes taking place in modern
technology.
Principles of Waterborne Coatings
22-23 November 2016
Member £833.00 Standard £944.00
Designed to appeal to a wide cross section of interests.
The course provides an in depth overview of the special features that distinguish
waterborne technology from other generic types such as solventborne, high solids etc.
Major types of waterborne technology will be covered including waterborne dispersions
(‘latexes’), solutions and emulsions.
Print & Ink Technology
17-19 October 2016
Member £1,232.00 Standard £1,365.00
Designed to appeal to a wide cross section of interests.
Taking as a guide for its content a review of the market volumes and growth areas; the
course covers the formulation, application, manufacture and testing of inks, and reviews
in the context of the inks, the substrates and the associated drying methods for all
the various printing processes. Practical demonstrations and other media are used to
illustrate the different inks and printing methods.
Professional Paint Formulation
12-13 April 2016
Member £833.00 Standard £944.00
Designed for suppliers of raw materials, formulators and production personnel.
This course provides an overview of the many factors involved in developing commercial
formulations. Additionally participants are shown how to locate sources of raw material
information and to use formulating spreadsheets and databases for creating formulating
templates and calculating paint constants.
Radiation Curing Technology
Contact training@pra-world.com to register interest
Designed for both newcomers and more experienced personnel, from companies
involved in formulation, supplying raw materials, equipment manufacture and end use.
An intensive course that provides a firm foundation in the chemistry, principles and
applications of ultraviolet and electron beam technologies.
The Application of Powder Coatings
27 April 2016
Member £467.00 Standard £520.00
The course is designed for those currently using powder finishes, who wish to widen
their understanding of the process, to optimise efficiency. It will also attract those
considering adding powder coating application to their production processes and end
users interested in specifying powder finishes.
This one-day course introduces the equipment used in the application of coating
powders and the technology behind the process. It also describes important factors
affecting the process, testing of the applied films and troubleshooting. A session on
practical application is included, in our laboratory.
The Changing Landscape of Metal Pre-treatments for
Corrosion Protection
Contact training@pra-world.com to register interest
Member £467.00 Standard £520.00
Designed for paint manufacturers and users of factory applied coatings onto metallic
substrates. This update will be of particular interest to users of powder coatings.
Following many years of stability traditional metal pre-treatment systems (zinc
phosphate and chromates) are being replaced by more efficient and compliant
chemistries. This technology update provides an overview of the traditional and
emerging materials from an operational and performance perspective. The reasons
for pre-treating metals prior to coating, available chemistries, common issues and the
drivers for change will be discussed.
The Development Manufacture of Powder Coatings
26 April 2016
Member £467.00 Standard £520.00
This course is designed for production engineers and chemists with responsibility
for efficiently controlling the various stages of the development and manufacture of
thermoplastic or thermosetting powder coatings. It will also assist those suppliers
wishing to better understand the processes, in order to evaluate and promote
alternative equipment or raw materials.
This one-day course will introduce participants to the types of equipment, raw materials,
formulation and testing procedures used in the process. It will explain both the
underlying principles and practical aspects of the process and the important control
measures required to provide the applicator with a quality finish.
