29 novembro 2018, 10:00 Augusto Martins Gomes

Steel paint coatings requirements. Paint layers: primer intermediate and finish coats. Paint actions: preventing access of water, inhibitory affect and cathodic protection. Paint types: epoxy and polyurethane resins. Protective paint systems – NP EN ISO 12944. Examples of paint systems for steel structures in accordance with NP EN ISO 12944.

Metallic coatings: hot dip galvanizing – EN ISO 14713, thermally spayed metal coating – EN 14616 - and electroplating. Weathering steels (Corten steel) and stainless steel.
