There, during the American Revolution, the main camp of the Continental Army was established (Dec., 1777–June, 1778) under the command of Gen. George Washington. Hotel & Convention Center, King of Prussia King of Prussia, industrialized suburban area (1990 pop. 18,406), Montgomery co., SE Pa. It has glass and steel fabricating, food processing, printing and publishing, and varied manufacturing (textiles, liquified petroleum gas, water-treatment and electrical , PA. The program features two three-day training courses: "The Essential Knowledge for Coatings Formulation formulation /for·mu·la·tion/ (for?mu-la´shun) the act or product of formulating. American Law Institute Formulation " and "Coatings Formulation in Advancing Technologies." In addition, a tradeshow featuring over 100 supplier companies to the coatings manufacturing industry will be held on May 10. Course 1: Essential Knowledge for Coatings Formulation Providing a basic understanding of coatings technology, this course presents the process of formulating coatings in a logical sequence. Discussions will focus on the analysis of the customer's requirements, the nature and purpose of the raw materials used to produce coatings, and how these raw materials interact. Also covered are quality control procedures, laboratory instruments, and procedures for measuring the physical characteristics of coatings. Additionally, attendees will learn about scaling up from laboratory to production and about troubleshooting Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving. It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved. Troubleshooting is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. problems in the field. This course combines lectures, workshops, and practical experience to give a deeper understanding of the chemical and physical aspects of coatings technology. The course schedule of presentations and speakers includes the following: Day One: Monday, May 9 Identification of the Coating Customer's Requirement--Thomas Brown, Holy Family University Selecting the Type of Resin for Coatings Design--Jeffrey Danneman, Reichhold Inc. Pigments, Colorants and Color Systems--David Lee, Degussa Corporation Design of Rheology to Coatings Application and Performance Requirements--Terrance Brennan, Southern Clay Products Day Two: Tuesday, May 10 Instruments of the Coatings Laboratory--Julio Aviles, Kronos Inc., and William Fabiny, Sermatech International, Inc. This workshop allows study groups to learn about the instruments used to measure the physical and chemical properties of coatings in design, production, and application. Instruments will be available for attendees to learn about and operate for hands-on experience. ETC Show--The afternoon will be free for attendees and industry personnel to visit the exhibition of raw materials, instruments, production equipment, and services relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc the coatings industry. Day Three: Wednesday, May 11 Instrument and Exhibit Review Use of Additives to Control Physical Properties and Eliminate Defects in Coatings--Nick Wood, Tego Chemie Design of Quality Control Procedures for Coatings Production--Walt Blaney, ISO (1) See ISO speed.

It is bounded by Lake Superior and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, from which it is divided by the Menominee Troubleshooting in the Field and Elimination of Non-Conformance Incidents--Dwight Weldon, author of Failure Analysis of Paints and Coatings Review and Final Analysis Course 2: Coatings Formulation in Advancing Technologies There are four significant advancing technologies in the coatings industry: radiation curing, high solids, water-based, and powder coatings Powder coating is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension . This course provides essential information to the coatings formulator regarding the basic principles of each of these technologies and an understanding of the processes involved for formulating and formulation development. The three-day seminar will cover these advancing technologies through lectures, exercises, and practical experience with laboratory equipment and procedures. Attendees will learn about the nature and purpose of the raw materials used to produce these coatings, together with production techniques and individual coatings application specifications. The course is intended for those with a technical background in the coatings industry as a means to advance their knowledge and broaden their field of understanding of formulating principles of coatings technology.
