Organizers of Sink or Swim Symposium Issue Call For Papers
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Coatings Society is issuing a call for papers for the Sink or Swim Technical Symposium, which takes place June 2-3, 2020.
This year the Cleveland Society set out to answer a very basic question relevant to the coatings industry: why do we paint? The answer is both simple and complex. There are many responses, from protecting our surfaces and infrastructure to beautifying our surroundings by decorating those surfaces. This year, the Sink or Swim Technical Symposium is soliciting papers that will help industry professionals to accomplish these objectives. As in years past, the symposium will feature three sessions, which this year will center on the substrates. These substrates include wood, concrete, metals and plastics. Industry professionals are invited to submit their best solutions for protecting and decorating these substrates. Any aspect of coatings technology is fair game, as long as it helps explore the answer to how we protect and decorate our surfaces and substrates, i.e., why we paint.
