Description
This seminar will teach participants what they need to know to make ideal use of potential opportunities for silicones in construction chemicals.
Requirements
Basic knowledge of chemistry
Agenda
- Fundamentals of silicone; overview of construction chemistry
- Introduction to the SILRES®, SILRES® BS and SREP® product classes, their their mode of action and their applications
- Applications of silicone resins as binders for paints and plasters
- Applications of silicone-based emulsions as additives for paints and plasters
- Applications of silane/siloxane-based primers.
- Silane and/or siloxane-based impregnating agents as colorless surface protection for mineral-based substrates, e.g. bricks, concrete and natural stone
- Siliconates, silanes and siloxanes for in-plant impregnation of building materials
- Information on various applications in the construction industry, including concrete protection, exterior paints and coatings, wood coatings, clay products such as bricks and clinker brick, etc.
- Relevant standards and application technology testing (in the lab)
- Hands-on demonstrations in the lab
Seminar objectives
This seminar will teach participants what they need to know to make ideal use of potential opportunities in construction chemicals. Starting with the mode of action for binders and coatings, the seminar will also cover current uses up to and including test methods for various formulations and applications.
Target audience
Technicians, marketing managers, sales managers
If you are interested, you can combine this training with the seminars VINNAPAS® for construction applications I and/or VINNAPAS® for construction applications II in order to experience the various possibilities of polymers in construction chemistry.
