"The Basic Composition of Coatings" is designed to introduce the newcomer, as well as those involved in raw material manufacture, sales and technical service, to the technical aspects of paint manufacture, testing and use.

 Topics of discussion will include the history of paint, materials used in manufacture, simple formulating techniques that you can put to immediate use, introduction to the equipment used to make and test modern protective coatings, modern chemical instrumentation as applied to coatings, and simple cost accounting that allows beginners to start on a stable economic basis. 

There will be over four (4) hours of demonstrations throughout the lecture period on topics such as paint milling, color development, testing and many others.
