Principles and Practices of Coatings Formulations
Why enroll in this course?
Paints and coatings are complex products. These highly raw material-intensive products are formulated using different technologies—conventional solvent-based, water-based, powder-coatings, and UV-cure coatings—and offered in various drying/curing chemistries. The formulations of such products are increasingly complex as they need to balance product performance, cost, supply-chain issues, and the sustainability profile of the products offered. This short course is designed to provide a detailed understanding of the principles and practices of formulation of paints and coatings.
The attendees will learn the basic concepts and underlying principles, formulation techniques, formulation parameter–performance relationships, formulating tools, and tricks that will empower them to understand and appreciate market segments, product differentiations, product attributes, performance, cost, sustainability profile, application areas, and troubleshooting.
Who should attend?
This course is recommended for scientists, chemists, and technicians, specifically those working in R&D, product development, and quality control functions. Personnel in marketing, technical sales, manufacturing, paint users, customer support staff, field representatives, and all others who need a good understanding of paint and coating compositions can also benefit. New recruits—chemists, scientists, and technicians—will also find this course useful.

Fundamentals of Resins and Polymers for Paints and Coatings
Why enroll in this course?
Resins and polymers are the most essential components of paints and coatings. The final properties and applications of coatings are mainly dictated by the resin type, its chemistry, functionality, and crosslinking mechanism, among other factors. With the availability of different coating technologies today– water-based, powder coatings, high-solids, UV-cure – their chemistry, formulation, and applications of resins become more complex. This course provides a fundamental understanding of major resin types, their preparation, and how resins are designed for specific end-use applications. As such, the course will cover all major resin types used in solvent-based, water-borne, high-solids, and UV-cure coatings and their cross-linking technologies will be discussed.
Who should attend?
This course is useful for those personnel involved in resin /coating/ ink/ adhesive product development, formulators, technical service personnel, coatings/resin specifiers, technical sales (resins) and customer support staff, research and development chemists, and others seeking knowledge in this vital area.
What you will learn?
-
Significance and role of resins in the CASE industry.
-
Develop an overall understanding of resins and polymers and their currently used technologies.
-
Learn how resins are designed (formulated) and prepared and how one resin type is different from another. (e.g. water-borne vs. high-solid resins).
-
Learn step-by-step calculations involved in the formulation of resins.
-
Learn what those numbers mean in resin Technical Data Sheets (TDS).
-
Gain a valuable understanding of cross-linking techniques and how they are leveraged for property development in coatings.
-
Learn how resins are designed for low VOC and green and sustainable coatings and their future trends.
-
Learn various test methods used for the evaluation of resins.
