“Protective Coatings Specified for the Upstream and Downstream of the Oil and Gas Industry” addresses the protective, resistance and other performance properties of coating systems required for the oil and gas industries. |
Webinar participants will be eligible to receive continuing education credits from SSPC.
Participants may register here free.
What You Will Learn
The upstream and downstream segments of the oil and gas industry present an array of unique challenges. Given the drive to cut capital costs and the need to adhere to strict environmental regulations that are inherent in this industry, the long life of a coating system and effective protection of assets is essential.
This webinar will define several types of anti-corrosion coatings for the oil and gas industry. The coatings presented will have performance properties such as: Intumescent and heat-resistant properties, high levels of abrasion resistance and, the durability to increase component life.
