Coating Wood and Wood Composites is subject of fall FSCT Advancements in Coatings Series.The FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal will sponsor an ACSeries on "Coating Wood and Wood Composites: The Changing Future" at the Marriott Charlotte Executive Park in Charlotte, NC. To be held September 25-27, this program provides new insight into the complex nature of a number of technologies through lectures that integrate the vastly different properties of wood, wood-based materials, and the coatings used on them. Endorsed by the Master Painters Institute, RadTech International North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , and the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America, the program consists of a one-day short course, followed by a two-day symposium featuring keynote addresses and short presentations by experts in the field. Attendees Will Learn About: * Wood and wood-based composites -- How wood properties affect coatings performance -- Future trends (plantation-grown wood, tropical species, preservative preservative Any of numerous chemical additives used to prevent or slow food spoilage caused by chemical changes (e.g., oxidation, mold growth) and maintain a fresh appearance and consistency. Antimycotics (e.g. treatments) -- Choosing wood-based materials to achieve meaningful coatings test results -- Solving wood/coatings failures in the field -- Coating wood/plastic composites -- Effect of wood weathering on coatings performance -- Why wood/coating fail prematurely -- Understanding moisture movement in structures and how to prevent it * New regulations and issues affecting wood/coatings industry -- Residual risk Residual risk Related: Unsystematic risk , wood furniture rule -- Hazardous air pollutant rule, wood building products -- Impending im·pend intr.v. im·pend·ed, im·pend·ing, im·pends 1.

Coatings formulators, engineers, and students involved in coating development, laboratory and field testing, and service life prediction methods. Managers and sales personnel who will increase their awareness of new products and the necessity for matching proper coatings to various wood and wood-based products. Architects, builders, and painting contractors who wish to gain a better understanding of the nature of wood and wood-based products and learn how to match various materials to improve cost-effectiveness and achieve long service life, avoid early failures, and recognize the causes of wood/paint failures in the field. Anyone involved in supplying the wood and paint industries: developers and manufacturers of coatings components, coatings formulators, users of coatings, and those writing coatings specifications, who wish to learn how to get meaningful data from laboratory and field tests, improve product performance, and enhance product and financial effectiveness.
