There are many kinds of resin-based coatings for metal. The type of resin used plays an important role in determining a coating's durability and physical properties. This course discusses these coatings and their application techniques. It also discusses why the coatings may deteriorate and how to measure the performance of the coatings. The role that resin-based coatings perform in cool roofs is explored along with the standards that measure the sustainability of cool roofs. This course provides the information one needs to ensure that the coated product will perform as expected and provide a durable, long-lasting finish.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Identify the components of paint, as well as common substrates and pretreatments.
  • Describe how the coil- or spray-coating processes are used to capture and incinerate volatile organic compounds, which can cause indoor air quality problems.
  • Explain what causes coating failure and how coatings are tested for weathering and performance.
  • Discuss how resin-based coatings can provide high solar reflectance and thermal emittance values.
  • Explain how resin-based coatings contribute to cool roofs and reduce energy consumption.
  • Discuss how prepainted metal roofs can contribute to points earned in several LEED® categories and meet California’s Title 24 standards.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
