The School of Polymers and High-Performance Materials at The University of Southern Mississippi has announced its 2014 Waterborne, High-Solids and Powder Coatings Symposium short courses. 

Short courses are held February 24-25, 2014 in New Orleans, Louisiana.  The school is ompletely non-profit and all of itsvfunds go back to the Polymer Science Department for scholarships and program support.   Today’s students are tomorrow’s future leaders!

Introduction to Coatings Formulation

Dates: February 24 & 25, 2014 (Two Day Course)

Dr.  Shelby F. Thames

Distinguished University Research Professor - Polymer Science

Course Purpose: To provide entry level chemists in the coatings industry an understanding of the principles involved in formulating coatings.

Course Description: Coatings manufacture is challenging in its complexity as the ingredient list could often contain more than ten items. Formulating a good coating requires a good understanding of the manufacturing technique as well as troubleshooting problems. This short course will seek to impart a comprehensive understanding of pigments, resins, solvents, additives, formulations principles, calculations, and manufacturing techniques applicable to the coatings industry.

Who should attend: This short course is a general course covering major paint types presented at a fundamental technical level, and is designed for entry-level chemists to the coatings industry.
