Sherwin-Williams Is Now Accepting Applications for the Master Painter Course, Which Will Take Place on May 16-17 at the Company Training Center in Sumaré.

Sherwin-Williams recently announced that it has opened applications for the Master Painter course. The course is intended for painters, painting supervisors, team leaders in the painting sector, production engineers, and quality personnel. The course lasts 16 hours and will be taught by engineer Celso Gnecco, technical training manager at Sherwin-Williams. Participation is free, and the limit is 30 participants per class.

About the Course

According to Gnecco, the idea is to attract painting professionals who are supervisors or leaders in the field and already have good knowledge on the subject but seek improvement to enhance service quality. “This is a theoretical and specific course for painters and explores some theory about paints and surface preparation, focusing more deeply on the preparation of bi-component paints, paint dilution, and application techniques,” explains Celso Gnecco.

Curriculum

  • Introduction (what is painting and why paint);
  • Composition of paints (solvents, resins, and pigments);
  • Types of paints, uses, and properties (Epoxy and Polyurethane);
  • Surface cleaning methods (lamination slag, what it is and why to eliminate it, roughness profile, importance of contaminant removal);
  • Bi-component paints (mixing ratio, mix shelf life, induction time, interval between coats);
  • Dilution (dilution ratio, use of non-recommended thinner – what happens); Environmental conditions for application;
  • Thickness measurements (wet film and dry film);
  • Paint application methods (conventional spray gun, parts of the gun – cover, nozzle, and needle, compressor and air line, technical notions for good painting, airless spray gun, nozzles and precautions in critical areas, such as weld beads, screws, nuts, edges, sharp corners, and gaps.

Registration

To register, you must send an email on May 7, 2019, from 7 PM to 9 PM to celso@sherwin.com.br or leticia.domingos@sherwin.com.br 

In case of questions, more information can be obtained by phone at (19) 2122-8856.
