ABRACO Events

It is an integrated seminar connecting the evolution of corrosion science, ABRACO's role, high-technology industry practice, and applied research advances. By bridging field experience, technical knowledge, and innovation, the event charts the path toward increasingly effective corrosion control and sustainable sectoral development.

Gathers anti-corrosive coatings experts to discuss market trends and new products and application technologies for prevention and maintenance of structures, equipment and process plants.

This seminar examines the characteristics of carbon steel and corrosion, with a focus on technical standards: ABNT NBR ISO 9223:2024 (corrosivity classification), ABNT NBR 6323:2025 (hot-dip galvanizing), and ABNT NBR 16733:2019 (duplex paint systems). It highlights the sustainability of galvanization and presents Brazilian case studies demonstrating the superiority of duplex systems in corrosion protection.

Certification training in corrosion basics, paint characteristics, application, inspection, failure analysis, and documentation to ensure durable protection of industrial assets.

Explains the crucial role of surface preparation in achieving effective anti-corrosion coating performance. Covers preparation techniques, standards, roughness measurement, and quality control for long-lasting protection.

Overview of challenges, market solutions and technology trends for pipelines and equipment in corrosive environments, plus training needs for specialised professionals.

Learn more about advances in hot-dip galvanizing processes and applications. It highlights the technology's applications, showcases success stories, and addresses questions regarding its use and specifications. Industry leaders from mining, energy, oil and gas, agribusiness, and pulp and paper will participate. Attendees are encouraged to share their expertise and submit technical summaries for presentation in poster format during the event.

Presentation on nanostructured zinc nickel, ASTM B1025-24 compliance, deposit morphology, process features, coatings, field/lab testing, and comparisons with older technologies.

The course aims to equip participants with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to work as industrial painting inspectors. Topics include corrosion, paint composition and properties, film formation, protective mechanisms, pigments, solvents and paint types; plus surface preparation, application methods, inspection, touch-ups, quality control, defect detection and documentation.

Theoretical and practical preparation for industrial painting inspectors, including prevention and detection of coating defects and related responsibilities.

It will bring together the brightest and most innovative minds in the industry, fostering essential discussions and exchanging insights on the latest advancements and challenges in corrosion and protection across various sectors.
