Course Description

Accelerate the development of durable, environmentally compliant, corrosion-resistant coatings systems by applying the best alternatives to chromate-based technology, keeping yourself ahead of the competition.

Patricia Geleen will help advance your R&D in the right direction with a detailed review of different corrosion protection (passive & active) and testing methods, the newest trends, the latest chromate-replacing alternatives, and green solutions (water-based coatings, sol-gel...). You will also benefit from an overview of what is being investigated by different institutes and companies.

Why should you view this course?

"Despite consistent efforts to replace chromate in protective coatings formulations, search is still ongoing for durable alternative systems. Current environmentally-compliant solutions (water-based coatings, sol gel...) are still not at par with traditional corrosion-resistant systems. To achieve optimal performance, you need to tackle this issue from both fundamental aspect & raw material perspective. Join this course to accelerate your R&D in the right direction & stay ahead of your competition. Industry expert, Patricia will help you:"

  1. Understand the different methods for substrate protection from corrosion (passive, active, sacrificial...).

  2. Learn about the accelerated testing methods (humidity test, salt spray test, stress corrosion test).

  3. Develop an environmentally-compliant durable coating system by learning about the latest alternatives to replace chromate.

  4. Advance your R&D in the right direction by knowing what is being investigated by different institutes and companies.

Who should join this course?

  • Coating Formulators, R&D professionals, and Specialists trying to develop greener protective coatings for both decorative and high-end applications (marine, airplanes... featuring substrates like carbon steel, aluminum alloys...).
