This CPD will explore how anti-carbonation coating can protect and prolong the life of steel re-bars used in concrete from corrosion. Topics covered include a definition of anti-carbon coating, corrosion - including carbonation, chloride ingress, test methods used to identify the right anti-carbonation coating and how anti-carbonation coating works to extend the life of concrete. By the end of the seminar you should have a greater understanding of: - How anti-carbonation coating functions - How to prevent concrete corrosion by using the right system - Types of test methods

This seminar looks at the use of intumescent coatings as fire protection on steel structures. It will help you to understand the following topics: - How fire protection of structural steel works - Why fire protection is required - The different types of fire protection for structural steel - How to select the right fire protection products - The specification of the correct fire protection products and how to insert specification clauses to prevent pitfalls

This CPD introduces two widely used green building rating schemes: LEED® v4.1 Building Design + Construction and BREEAM New Construction, focusing on BREEAM International 2016 and the BREEAM UK 2018 adaptation. It then puts a magnifying glass onto areas where paints and coatings can contribute towards a project’s LEED or BREEAM certification while also noting some nuances between the two standards. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - The proliferation of green building rating schemes existing worldwide and identify focus areas or recurring themes for materials - The structure, terminology and scoring methods to determine a project’s LEED or BREEAM rating - How to identify specific contribution opportunities for paints and coatings including pathways or methodology, standard and exemplary level criteria, thresholds and documentation options for evidence - The different underlying standards that are referenced within the relevant LEED credits or BREEAM assessment issues for compliance

This CPD explores different finishes used today for aluminium facade industry. Topics covered include international standards, how to identify the right finishing option for aluminium used in façade industry and real time examples comparing ‘before and after’ performances. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of: - How to compare finishes available against their advantages and disadvantages - How to specify the right powder coating finish based on the international levels of performance - like AAMA , Qualicoat - How to choose from different finishes available within powder coatings - glossy, matt, smooth, texture and metallics

This CPD will discuss the Natural Colour System (NCS). Topics covered include colour psychology, the difference between basic colours in design and colours in the paint industry, the NCS notation system, and NCS as a global colour and communication tool between architects and designers. This seminar also incorporates individual exercises and activities using NCS colour chips. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - Colour psychology and how colours affect our feelings - How to use colours in space - Design tips - How to read colours using the NCS notation system - How to create a colour scheme using the NCS system - How to use the NCS system in your projects

This CPD on Specifying Traffic Floor Coatings aims to support the specifiers to understand the importance of concrete traffic deck protection. It explains the different selection parameters for each level of the car park and its relevance. In addition it explains the different technology used for floor protection and how to specify each one of them.
