This Webinar will be scheduled at a later date. Please contact us to arrange the webinar to your group at a special group rated discount. Painting and coating of surfaces in buildings and other infrastructure construction require careful attention to specification, application and inspection if construction materials are to be effectively protected for a substantial service life. This webinar will introduce you to the principles and practices of coatings and paints for applications in buildings and other infrastructure. You will learn about the criteria to use in specifying coatings and paints for all of the typical construction materials, specifications for repair of surfaces, recommendations for removal of existing coatings and paints, standards for condition and cleanliness of substrates, and methods of surface preparation. This webinar will provide you with important information you can use every day on current and future projects in your office or agency.

- Learn about the recommended coatings and paints for application to all of the typical construction material substrates
- Learn how deteriorated surfaces should be repaired prior to application of coatings and paints
- Learn the standards of condition for substrates prior to application of coatings and paints
- Learn about the cleanliness standards for substrates prior to application of coatings and paints to assure a useful service life
- Learn about recommendations for removal of existing paint and coating prior to application
- Learn the methods for surface preparation prior to application of a new paint or coating
- Learn the dry film thickness (dft) specifications for different painting and coating products

There was a lot to cover in only 2 hours! The lecture bounced around a bit at first and then found a good track. I would have liked to have learned a little more about the science of paint, what it’s main components are, what they’re called, how they interact (Paul laid out the basics very nicely). I think I’ll find that, though, in the write up (which is also VERY thorough).
Overall, a very good course!
Quick question–how does one pronounce “epoxy”?
