Igniting knowledge, preventing flames
This 90‑minute online course gives a clear overview of how fire‑protective coatings work and where they are used in building and industrial applications. Participants gain a basic understanding of fire behavior—ignition, flame spread, and heat exposure—and which of these factors a coating can influence.
The course introduces the main types of fire‑protective and flame‑retardant coatings, with a focus on intumescent and inorganic systems rather than advanced niche technologies. Participants see the basic function of binders, flame‑retardant packages, pigments, and fillers, and how these components contribute to char formation and thermal insulation.
Key fire test methods and standards are explained in simple, practical terms, helping participants understand what test results say about a coating’s performance. This compact format is designed for chemists, lab staff, and junior formulators who are new to fire‑protective coatings and need a solid, easy‑to‑follow introduction.
Why you should attend:
Take part from the lab, office, or home without travel costs or time away from your projects.
