Speaker 1: Gilles Caruana of Grolman will present "Rima Cor (Corrosion Inhibiting Pigments) for Efficient Anti Corrosive Coatings"

For years, Grolman has developed a full range of anti corrosive pigments for coatings, rima cor, in its European Coating Laboratory based in France close to Lyon. We will introduce the various grades of the range and will give an overview of their efficiency versus the typical corrosion inhibiting pigments currently on the market. The efficiency of such pigments can be jeopardised if some basic rules of formulation are not applied; we will come back to these basics through a program of testing and laboratory observations. We will conclude the lecture with the presentation of our new ecologically compliant anti-corrosive pigment, rima cor FRZN (labelling free) and its performances illustrated by salt spray test done in our laboratory.

Bio: Gilles Caruana, 60 years old, started his career with an acrylic polymer producer for coatings and then moved to take over the technical responsibilities of French paint company for over ten years. Later, as Operation Director for Holliday Dispersions for ten years, he shared his activity between France and the UK in charge of pigment dispersion manufacturing for coatings, textile, construction and plastic. Later on as a partner in a distribution company, he merged it with Grolman France and became the Technical Director of the Grolman Coating Laboratory until 2015. He acts now as an Exclusive Technical Consultant for Grolman within the resins and additives business unit.

Speaker 2: Brian Goldie of Banner Chemicals will make a presentation on the subject of Pigmentan (Environmentally Friendly Anti-Corrosive Pigments)

Bio: Brian has been in the surface coatings industry for 40 years. Initially as a research chemist involved in the development of novel marine anti-fouling coatings and then novel non-toxic anti-corrosion pigments, which he then went on to commercialise. He lead a laboratory involved in paint R & D and testing of commercial products and plant troubleshooting for the BP Group worldwide. He was involved in the early days of the N Sea oil and gas production, involving development of coating systems to protect against corrosion in this harsh environment.

For the past 20 years, he has been involved as a Consultant to the coatings industry, carrying out failure analyses, expert witness investigations and carrying out technical and market studies. Currently he is also consulting on the technology of a novel anticorrosive pigment and is the technical editor of the trade magazine, The Journal of Protective Coatings & Linings in the USA.

Speaker 3: Malcolm Morris of Sherwin-Williams will present "International Standards for Development of Anticorrosive Paint Specifications (ISO 12944 / ISO 20340)"

This standard will present an overview of the ISO standards process and how it filters down to users via the national standards body (e.g. BSI) and trade associations such as the British Coatings Federation.

There are two standards currently under revision, which have particular relevance to the paint industry:

• BS EN ISO 12944 - Paints and Varnishes - Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures by Protective Paint Systems
• ISO 20340 - Paints and Varnishes - Performance Requirements for Protective Paint Systems for Offshore and Related Structures

The presentation will outline the structure of the current editions of the standard and highlight the key areas where there have been some anomalies between the two documents. Work has been underway for three years at ISO working groups to merge and revise the standards, in order to extend their scope to include higher durability systems and refine the laboratory performance testing requirements.

The revised standards have now reached a stage where they are to be published in early 2016 as drafts for public comment; therefore it is crucial that the industry is aware of the proposals for change.

Bio: Malcolm Morris is a technical manager at Sherwin-Williams; the third largest global paint manufacturer (Formerly Leigh's Paints) based in Bolton.

Malcolm started as a chemist with Leigh's 1978, in a career based mainly in R&D and technical service; but now having qualified in terms of age, experience and receding grey hair as an 'old fart', has taken on a broad role in supporting technical and commercial colleagues within the business, as well as customer facing technical support and training. He has active involvement with the British Coatings Federation, and sits on several British and ISO standards committees.

Malcolm is a fellowship member of The Oil & Colour Chemists Association, and a NACE Level 3 coatings inspector.

Outside of work his interests include supporting various under-achieving sports teams, gardening, walking, photography & attempting to keep vaguely fit. His chemical background has also developed special interest in the processes of fermentation and distillation.

Speaker 4: Nina Musche of Lubrizol will present "Permax™ V1000 - New PVDC Emulsion for Water Based Industrial Primers and Rust Conversion"

Permax™ V1000 is a next-generation, water borne vinylidene chloride acrylic copolymer for corrosion protection of metal surfaces.

Speaker 6: Georg Döring of BASF will present "Paint it cool!"

Rising energy costs, pronounced urban heat-island effects and global warming increase the need for intelligent solar heat management solutions like cool coatings. Innovative pigments cause less absorption of solar radiation, leading to lower surface temperatures and reduced heat build-up.

By this means, the energy demand for air conditioning systems can be decreased significantly. Additionally longer lifetime of coatings and substrate materials can be achieved.

Find our ideas for sustainable business with solar heat management!

Bio: Georg Döring studied chemical engineering at the University of Applied Science in Esslingen, Germany, and graduated in 2002. In the same year he joined BASF SE, Ludwigshafen.
