Introduction:
Resins and polymers are the most important components of paints and coatings. Final properties and applications of coatings are mainly dictated by the type of resin, their chemistry, cross-linking, besides other factors. With the availability of different coating technologies today– water-based, powder coatings, high-solids, UV-cure – the chemistry formulation and applications of resins used becomes more complex.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to provide a fundamental understanding of major resin types, how are they prepared, 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 that personnel involved in resin /coating/ ink/ adhesive product development, formulators, technical service personnel, coatings/resin specifies, technical sales and customer support staff, research and development chemists, and all others who seek knowledge in this specific area
