RELATED ARTICLE: Additives 2006 Provides 'Take-Home Implementation' Of the Latest Techniques and Technologies Additives for paints and coatings serve a critical function, enabling formulators to meet the continuing performance requirements of customers as well as the increasingly rigorous demands of environmental regulators. The additives field is a broad area that has a major impact not only on coatings formulation, but also on business and technology. Yet, despite the importance of this area, many in the coatings industry continue to have questions about the most cost-effective and efficient use of these materials. Responding to the need for a practical understanding of this essential area, the FSCT is hosting "Additives 2006," a three-day ACSeries event to be held June 19-21 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, IL. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Dr. Jamil Baghdachi, Program Chair, the goal of the conference is to help people find the answers to the fundamental challenges of "what works ... what doesn't ... how much to use ... when ... and why--or why not." Dr. Baghdachi, of Eastern Michigan University Eastern Michigan University, mainly at Ypsilanti, Mich.; coeducational; founded 1849 as a normal school, became Eastern Michigan College in 1956, gained university status in 1959. Coatings Research Institute, notes that the organizing task force has designed the presentations for "take-home implementation"--providing practical techniques and knowledge that attendees can put into immediate practice. "Companies are working feverishly fe·ver·ish adj. 1. a. Of, relating to, or resembling a fever. b. Having a fever or symptoms characteristic of a fever. c. Causing or tending to cause fever. 2. to develop additives with novel properties," he says. "Participants will come away not only with a great deal of knowledge, but also they will have access to the most recent knowledge available." This ACSeries event begins with a one-day Short Course. Through highly interactive presentations, participants will gain a fuller understanding of the different classes of additives and the latest developments in the field. Separate tracks will cover fundamentals as well as industrial and architectural applications.

The familiar two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin with epoxide rings at the ends of its molecules and a curing . Although there is no blanket prescription for solving all coatings problems, this conference will help attendees learn how to select the right additive to achieve the desired results." In addition, the program will provide insight into the impact of current environmental regulations on the use of additives. "Additives 2006" is designed to provide real world solutions, based on evidence of performance from materials in current use. The objective is to develop a program that provides good depth, offering information not easily gathered from other sources, and that represents the major segments of the industry. "There are many places to go to get information, but this program will offer a comprehensive account of what's going on What's Going On is a record by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. Released on May 21, 1971 (see 1971 in music), What's Going On reflected the beginning of a new trend in soul music. in the world of additives," Dr. Baghdachi states.
