FSCT Advancements in Coatings Series to focus on Coating Wood and Wood Composites.The FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal will sponsor an Advancements in Coatings Series program on "Coating Wood and Wood Composites: The Changing Future" at the Marriott Charlotte Executive Park in Charlotte, NC. To be held September 25-27, 2005, this event consists of a one-day short course, followed by a two-day symposium featuring keynote addresses and short presentations by experts in the field. The 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. This event is 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.
