Guided Manufacturing Plant Tour of Kemper System America's West Seneca, NY Facility. Tour includes a review of plant safety criteria (5 mins); QC & R&D labs (30 mins) introduction into various equipment used for ASTM and product testing; Warehouse tour (5 mins) including discussion of building design for containing potential spills to protect surrounding wildlife area; Distribution center (5 mins) discussions including QC process for incoming raw materials and outgoing products; Manufacturing overview (15 mins) showing machinery and processes for creating various liquid resins, primer, topcoats, & coatings.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Attendees will be introduced to the following Laboratory equipment used in various testing by KSA Scientists: Instron Tensile Tester (tensile strength, % elongation, peel testing); FTIR (comparative studies, determination of composition, qc of incoming samples); Brookfield Viscometer (dynamic viscosity, Rheocalc for determining pot life); Karl Fisher (water % determinations of liquid materials, volumetric KF); Elcometer (pull off adhesion testing); Density Ball (precision to 0.002 g/ml, calcs. Density); IR moisture analyzer (% of moisture powder materials); Oxygen Bomb (combustion of combustible products for halogen determinations); Freeze Point Tester (freeze point testing acc. to ASTM D1177); Flash point Tester (flash point testing); Ross Miles Foam Test (testing foam acc. to ASTM D1173); QUV Xenon Arc Accelerated Aging Chamber (ages materials acc. to ASTM G155)
• Attendees will have a basic understanding of the manufacturing equipment and processes employed to create urethane and epoxy resins, coatings, and primers for waterproofing and roofing applications.
• Attendees will be presented general safety information for touring an active chemical manufacturing plant. Including General Rules, Safety Information such as Prohibition & Warning Signs, Hazardous Information, What to do in case of Fire and Emergency, and Meeting Place Location.
• Attendees will be introduced to plant design intended to protect the surrounding wildlife in the event of a chemical spill and will be provided an introduction into the QC program for incoming and outgoing products and raw materials.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
