PDA Europe Conference: from blasting to coating and more

摘要

A wide range of papers were presented at the two-day Polyurea Development Association Europe meeting in west London in November 2017, from the importance of operator training, dust exposure regulations and the interaction between European fire regulations and polyurea-based coatings. The papers are available to members of PDA Europe, and here we concentrate on three: a versatile three-step process to polyurea composites, surface coating polyureas and vapour blasting. The last is a technique to prepare surfaces which, proponents say, avoids many of the problems with wet and dry blasting.
