The right product is not enough,
it takes the right application.
Dekoral Academy is the training programme we run for our dealers, application teams and our customers' technical staff. The aim is not to issue certificates, but to eliminate recurring mistakes on site.
Sales-focused content covering product families, system logic and how to explain the right system to the customer.
Surface preparation, application technique, film thickness and defect prevention; topics with direct relevance on site.
Reading specifications, determining the ISO 12944 category and application inspection; for quality and purchasing departments.
Six modules, one goal: the right result on site.
Modules can be delivered individually or as a programme. Content is tailored to the participant profile and the sector in which your facility operates.

Application techniques
Airless spray settings, brush and roller use, the logic of the stripe coat, booth conditions and monitoring of ambient conditions (dew point).
Film thickness and measurement
The wet film / dry film relationship, DFT measurement methods, selection of measurement points and record-keeping. How specification compliance is documented.
Defect analysis
Peeling, sagging, orange peel, wrinkling and pinholes. The root cause of each defect, how to prevent it on site, and how to decide on repairs.
Product and system training
