Seminar on: ‘Corrosion Protecting Paints and Coatings’
23rd of August 2024:
A seminar on ‘Corrosion Protecting Paints and Coatings’ will be held at the Technical University of Denmark, DTU, on October 29th, 2024.
The effectiveness of corrosion protection provided by paints and coatings cannot be fully evaluated solely through acceptance inspections of the finished coating. Factors such as environmental conditions and application methods also play a crucial role. However, many coated products and structures do meet the requirements for extended service life and such coatings often successfully provide long-term protection against corrosion as specified by their design and performance requirement.
This seminar offers newest insights into overcoming the challenges of achieving long-term durability for coated surfaces. It will cover both fundamental principles and mechanisms, as well as real-world industrial case studies and ways of monitoring coating performance i.e., water uptake and adhesion as well as real time monitoring of coated structures under atmospheric conditions. Additionally, the seminar will address the opportunities and limitations of current testing methods and standards.
Participants will have excellent opportunities for networking and sharing experiences across various industrial sectors and academic disciplines, with the goal of developing solutions, technologies, and tools to enhance corrosion protection.

Seminar on: ‘Corrosion protection – with a focus on sustainability‘
1st of January 2023
Corrosion is significant and a continuous issue that causes serious environmental problems and expensive material damage to a wide range of industries. Therefore, a more sustainable prevention of corrosion requires more attention.
he seminar will focus on corrosion protection efforts that contributes to a more sustainable future.
Expert speakers from the energy, offshore wind, steel and automotive industries as well as scientists will present cases and update you on:
* Digital real time remote monitoring of corrosion protection performance
* Sustainable paint technologies
* Ways of lowering the environmental impact
* Life cycle cost assessments
* Stainless steel as a recyclable alloy
* A quantitative estimate of the sustainability challenge we face
* Tools to measure environmental sustainability
* Raw materials for bio-based coating formulas for anti-corrosive applications
* Protection of electronics from climate for sustainable performance

European network on Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion, MIC.
7th of April 2022
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a phenomenon that is increasingly becoming a problem for the society.
Therefore, it is important to combine the efforts of experts in different fields and develop prevention measures according to the European rules, in close cooperation with industry and plant operators and owners of critical infrastructure.
This is done in the COST action: CA20130 – European MIC Network – New path for science, sustainability, and standards.

Corrosion Advice ApS participate in several of the working groups and contributes as vice-leader of WG4 on: ‘Strategize ‘green’ mitigation methods.
Seminar on: ‘When is a surface or component clean enough?’
7th of June 2021
Cleaning issues are often determining for good corrosion resistance. The online seminar “When is a Surface or Component Clean Enough?”, which will be held by ATV-SEMAPP (www.atv-semapp) on 9 & 10 June 2021, will give you an in-depth introduction to cleanliness.

Consequences of Corrosion Damage
6th of June 2021
Corrosion Advice ApS offers services to minimize and reduce corrosion problems. This is for the benefit of various factors, such as: improved safety, reduction of damage costs and production loss and limitation of our use of resources in connection to damage repair, all in favor of ourselves our environment and climate.
According to international Impact Studies (impact.nace.org), the annual cost of corrosion worldwide is estimated to US $ 2.5 trillion. Which equals 3,5% of the Gross Domestic Product, GDP. To that comes the cost of indirect effects, and side effects on for example the loss of production, environmental pollution, personal injury, or health risk.
Most importantly, the study estimates that 15-35% of the cost can be saved by applying existing knowledge and technologies. So, there are plenty of advantages in connection to reaching out for assistance and knowledge sharing within the field of corrosion mitigation!
