Course Description
This course is designed to train marine/industrial applicators to operate airless spray equipment, incorporating the use of a paint simulator for hands-on training. You’ll learn the proper technique for airless spray painting by using a program that simulates real life situations and equipment used in the field.
Course Content
- Introduction/Overview of Airless Spray Equipment Operational Systems
- Proper Mixing Techniques
- Proper Spray Techniques
- Conventional Spray (optional)
- Troubleshooting
Benefits of Attending
After attending this course you will be able to:
- Discuss the advantages of airless spray technology
- Recognize the importance of when and how coatings are mixed prior to airless spray
- Apply airless spray coatings to steel and concrete in a manner that meets the requirements of a given job
specification
Course Format
Classroom
The classroom session consists of training on the fundamentals of airless spray technology: spraying protective coatings using airless spray pumps (e.g., material ratio; material viscosity; mixing; ambient conditions for application and curing; product data sheets; material safety data sheets; spray technique); equipment operation; troubleshooting basics and lessons learned; coating materials appropriate for airless spray, and quality control basics.
Technician Exam and Simulator Hands-On Assessment
The hands-on assessment requires each candidate to operate the virtual paint simulator to spray coatings to
meet the coating manufacturer’s product data sheet (PDS) requirements. Candidates must also take a written
exam and also answer questions about troubleshooting if things go wrong while spraying the simulator.
Each participant will receive a comprehensive manual that includes copies of useful handouts and industry standards. Those who successfully complete the airless spray applicator program will receive a certificate from SSPC.
Candidates wishing to achieve the C12 certificate must attend all 16 hours of the course and pass the written and hands-on exams with an average score of 80% or better.
Who Should Attend
Contractors, project supervisors, and craftworkers involved in applying airless spray technology.
