Protection against corrosion is gaining increasing importance. This protection must ensure not only that the treated element fulfils its function for as long as possible (structural, aesthetic or of any other nature), but also the health of operators during its application.
Existing concerns are set out in new legislations that implement new national, regional or even worldwide regulations which force R&D technicians to improve the formulations of the anti-corrosion protection systems.
In this conference, we will have the opportunity to:
- Find out in detail about Standard ISO 12944, focused on the protection of steel structures through painting systems.
- It is necessary to have up to date, comprehensive, concise and easy to understand information on anti-corrosion painting systems, avoiding misunderstandings which may lead to risks that might entail financial consequences.
AIMED AT
- Owners of this type of structures.
- Planners
- Consultancy firms
- Staff from companies responsible for anti-corrosion protection work
- Inspectors of the application of protective coatings
- Manufacturers of coatings, among others
