PC Kitchen Short Course
The PC Kitchen Short Course: Hands-On Powder Coating Formulating Fundamentals
Earn 9 Hours of Continuing Education
BNP Media is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and authorized to issue the IACET CEU
The PC Kitchen’s Short Course introduces formulators, chemists and scientists to the fundamentals of creating a powder coating from the ground up. An introduction to resin chemistry and corresponding crosslinker technology will enable the chemist to understand how to construct a binder to meet the performance specified by the coating end user. A survey of powder coating additives, colorant pigments and extenders rounds out the basics of formulation technology. This hands-on course is held in a working powder coating laboratory, which includes practical sample making and coating evaluation. The PC Kitchen Short Course is eligible for CEU (continuing education) credits.
