High-performance coating systems are designed to protect surfaces in many different service environments: from mild conditions—such as those in a commercial kitchen—to severe conditions, which include exposure to coastal salt air, intense weathering, and continual high humidity and moisture levels. A coating’s ability to mitigate corrosion, abrasion, deterioration from chemical exposure, and weathering is critical in today’s building climate. This course reviews single- and two-component coating systems, describes corrosion basics, and examines selection criteria for high-performance coating systems in various applications.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Identify single- and two-component high-performance coating systems.
- Summarize the characteristics of acrylic, alkyd, epoxy, and aliphatic urethane coatings.
- Describe the corrosion process.
- Explain how high-performance coatings can mitigate corrosion by forming a protective barrier.
- Examine selection criteria for coating applications in various service environments.
