PCI magazine is going digital. Beginning with our July 2020 issue, our magazine will be produced and deployed via email to all of our subscribers.

In PCI's podcast with Dan Murad, CEO of The ChemQuest Group, we learn how the coronavirus is affecting the coatings supply chain. What can companies expect in the short and long term, and which coatings segments will be the winners and losers during this pandemic?

Amy Ericson, PPG Senior Vice President, Packaging Coatings, Specialty Materials and Corporate Strategy, discusses her leadership style and success, how women are influencing the manufacturing industry, and her advice to women entering the workforce.

Sustainability continues to be a hot topic in the paint and coatings industry.

If your office is due for a new coat of paint, or you are thinking of a website or product redesign, research your colors! They may impact your employees’ engage¬ment and productivity, drive website con¬versions and affect sales.

PCI Editor Kristin Johansson recently visited with Nancy Lockhart, Global Product Manager, Color, at Axalta Coating Systems, to tour the company's Color Viewing Room and Color Studio in Clinton Township, Michigan.

Macro, consumer and industry trends are constantly converging, overlapping and impacting each other….and influencing and driving color forecasting. Hopefully the powder coatings industry can more fully embrace the trends and be ready for the color demands of the future.

Our CTT panel discussion on sustainability covered cost, performance, energy use, bio-based materials, transfer efficiency, waste, recycling, specifications, certifications, regulations, collaboration, and more … and we could have easily kept the discussion going for much longer.

This unique, annual event combines a live laboratory tour and demonstration, a technical conference, and tabletop exhibits to deliver the latest technologies available to powder coatings professionals.

CTT continues to grow every year, in both numbers and the quality of the content presented. This article lists four key takeaways from this year's event that coatings formulators won't want to miss.
