Overview |
|||||||||||||||||||
Module 508 is one of three advanced level modules dealing with additives used in surface coatings. Additives can be considered to be materials which, when added to another substance, improve the overall properties or reduces undesirable properties. This module discusses the reasons for controlling the viscosity of a coating to aid its application properties and the types of additives used for this purpose. It then goes on to explain the types of additive used to control or promote flow. After this, the need to control the conductivity of paints to be applied by electrostatic methods is considered and the special problems associated with the addition and stability of conductivity controllers discussed. Types of conductivity controller are then listed. The module then explains why reodorants are sometimes used in coatings and examples of commercially available products of this type are given. A discussion on flash point modifiers is followed by a list of typical classes of these products and a discussion of their merits provided. Finally, the nature and use of fire-retardant and intumescent coatings are discussed with regard to their special properties. |

Each of the modules that CTI offer are listed above. All of the modules are distance learning. The training is brought to students by the British Coatings Federation, the sole UK trade association which has been representing manufacturers of paints, printing inks and wall-coverings for over 100 years, and the European Coatings Journal. Achieving the CTI’s International Certificate in Coatings Technology will add valuable coatings specific knowledge to a student’s skill set, and either make you more attractive to a coatings employer, or enhance their prospects for career progression. Research has shown that students who study and look to progress through personal development are more likely to gain new career prospects, are more confident and motivated, deliver higher levels of customer service and have all round better knowledge. Successful completion of CTI modules can also contribute towards membership of professional organisations such as the Oil & Colour Chemists’ Association (OCCA) and the Society of Dyers & Colourists. There is no formal entry qualifications for students and there is a natural progression within the module structure for development to more advanced subject modules. To achieve the CTI’s International Certificate in Coatings Technology, six modules need to be completed with at least four modules from the chosen level of study (2,3,4, or 5) and two can be from other levels. Students work through modules by downloading the course work material for the study portal. Students then complete a computer marked assessment, written assignments and an end exam for each module. All work is marked by one of our CTI tutors. All instructions and learning plans are contained at the beginning of the modules. Each student is given a personal web page on the CTI learning portal where they can track their progress. Technical Requirements
