DECEMBER CE LUNCHES
Paint 201 | High Performance Coatings for Commercial Spaces Commercial and light industrial projects typically require high-performance coating solutions to provide optimal performance against abrasion, chemicals, moisture and other harsh conditions common to these types of buildings. Technological advancements have created high-performance coatings that not only provide the aesthetics and durability your owners demand – there are also a variety of formulations that can help contribute towards green building certifications. This course provides solutions to the most prevalent challenges found in busy commercial spaces so that you can specify the coatings best suited to the project type and conditions. We will also explore innovative coating technologies that combine performance benefits that meet the demands of commercial spaces as well as emit lower VOCs.
