Selecting a Resin-Based Coating for Metal F2F

About This Program

There are many kinds of resin-based coatings for metal, and two primary application techniques. In this course each of these coatings and application techniques are described and illustrated, along with important information on why these coatings fail and how the performance of these coatings is measured. The primary goal of this course is to provide architects and others who work with resin-based coatings for metal with the information they need to ensure that the coated product will perform as expected and provide a durable and long-lasting finish.

Session Takeaways

  • Define selected vocabulary of paint terminology.
  • Identify and describe the components of resin-based paints.
  • Describe the different types of weathering: Accelerated, and Real Time.
  • List and describe the common causes of coating failure.
  • List and describe the main properties and tests used to measure performance.
