Course Description

Avoid in-can paint storage issues (loss of viscosity, discoloration, pH drop...) by learning how to better preserve & prevent biofouling with a clear view of its origin as well as ready-to-apply practical solutions.

Don’t miss joining Dr. C.D Joshi (> 48 years of experience in Industrial Microbiology, Preservation, and Biocides) to clarify how to:

  • Steer clear of the biofouling of paints & water-borne coatings in the packed & ready to sale cans/containers by applying prevention strategies right at the initial stages of manufacturing.
  • Extend storage life by selecting the apt preservatives based on the actual formulation recipes & the toxicological properties of your finished product.

Why should you view this course?

Thanks to Covid-19, there is an unavoidable sensitivity of society toward the vulnerability to micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi)! Naturally, today’s coatings market is highly influenced by the demand for hygiene factors.

Moreover, deterioration of the quality of your in-can coatings (loss of viscosity, foul odor, gassing, phase separation, discoloration, pH drop...) as a result of microbial attack is the last thing you want to face! Based on your product’s final toxicological profile take an informed decision in choosing the right solutions.

This 90-minute compact course will help you:

  1. Analyze faster causes of problems resulting from biofouling with a comprehensive review of factors & root causes impacting in-can coatings quality

  2. Forget about trials & errors and gain speed with practical expert tips to reduce the microbial load right from the manufacturing to storage.

  3. Learn the key to prevent fouling by selection of right preservatives that are compatible with other ingredients based on the actual formulation recipes as well as the optimal dosage!
