Education on Paint Manufacturing Q. I'm looking for a training course or longterm course at university to
learn more about producing paint, which is environmental friendly, like water
base paint, etc. Please let me know how I can enrich my knowledge in this field.
A. Please write to the Federation of
Societies of Coatings Technologies, where you should be able to find out
about courses that deal with paint manufacturing and formulations. Also, you
might like to visit their on-line bookstore to see what books you can purchase
on these topics. I have purchased a series of monographs that cover a variety
of topics; resins, pigments, solvents, automotive coatings, etc., and have found
them to be very valuable.
For long term courses, you should site to:
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ROLLA COATINGS
