Gain an understanding of the fundamentals of paint technology, including why paints are used, different functional types, and the building blocks of a paint formula. We’ll explore the characteristics of a good paint in terms of performance and testing methods against a background of legislation & sustainability, and gain a commercial perspective of the major market sectors.
Designed for anyone who is either a newcomer to a paint related field or does not have a scientific background. It will be particularly useful to sales and marketing personnel. For anyone who has a knowledge of chemistry and needs a more comprehensive coverage of the technology of paint coatings you may find the ‘Paint Technology’ course more suitable.

LCA is an internationally recognised tool used to quantify environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle. By taking a systems perspective, LCA tools help businesses understand the flows of energy and matter involved in a product system and can therefore be used to evaluate performance against a range of environmental indicators such as climate change, ozone depletion and marine toxicity.

This course is a comprehensive and intensive four day course which aims to provide delegates with a firm foundation in the technology of organic surface coatings. The course gives an overview of the raw materials used in surface coatings and their contribution to the final properties of the coatings. The study of coating systems emphasises the changes taking place in modern technology.
An intensive three-day course that provides a firm foundation in the chemistry, principles and applications of ultraviolet and electron beam technologies. A session on practical application is included, in our laboratory.
This two day course provides an overview of the many factors involved in developing commercial liquid formulations. Participants are also shown how to locate sources of raw material information and to use formulating tools for creating formulating templates and calculating paint constants. There will be an introduction to the ‘Design of Experiments’ approach with an emphasis on mixture designs.
This three day course provides a firm foundation in the terminology and concepts used in print & printing ink technology, including a review of the market and exploration of printing processes, application-specific substrates & inks, raw materials, and testing. The course includes practical demonstrations.
A specialised one-day course exploring the latest developments in effect pigment technology, associated colour physics & dispersion machinery, and optimal pigment dispersion for use in paints & other media. You’ll also learn how to benchmark performance, especially for production of nano-size pigment dispersions and their use in coatings.
This two-day course will explore the types of equipment, raw materials, formulation, testing procedures and equipment used in the process, including both the underlying principles and practical aspects, and the important control measures required for a quality finish. A laboratory session on practical application is included.

This two day course provides an overview of the special features that distinguish waterborne technology from other generic types, identifying different markets for coatings and comparing competing technologies. Case histories will be used to illustrate how market penetration is influenced by the current property mix, and what might be expected from future technical developments and legislation.
Providing independent testing, product development, training and market intelligence services to the coatings industry since 1926.
