Four FSCT Technology Short Courses to highlight 2005 WCS.The 27th Biennial biennial, plant requiring two years to complete its life cycle, as distinguished from an annual or a perennial. In the first year a biennial usually produces a rosette of leaves (e.g., the cabbage) and a fleshy root, which acts as a food reserve over the winter. Western Coatings Symposium & Show, to be held November 6-9, 2005 at the Westin Casuarina casuarina Any of the chiefly Australian trees that make up the genus Casuarina (family Casuarinaceae), which have whorls of scalelike leaves and segmented stems resembling horsetails. Several species, especially C. Hotel & Spa, in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. , NV, will offer four informative Technology Short Courses on Sunday, November 6. Course topics include "Coatings for Aerospace," "Film Formation and Crosslinking Technologies," "Novel, High Performance and Functional Pigments," and "Formulation of Waterborne Coatings." Coatings for Aerospace Covering the fundamentals of coatings for aerospace applications, this course discusses technology trends and some of the issues facing formulators in product development. Geared for formulators, raw material suppliers, and end users, the course focuses on such topics as: * Technology trends in aerospace coatings * Effect of substrate The base layer of a structure such as a chip, multichip module (MCM), printed circuit board or disk platter. Silicon is the most widely used substrate for chips. Fiberglass (FR4) is mostly used for printed circuit boards, and ceramic is used for MCMs. trends on exterior and interior coatings * Regulatory trends that affect aerospace coatings Film Formation and Crosslinking Technologies This one-day course is designed to provide up-to-date information on crosslinking and film formation technologies for all major coating areas. Film formation pathways and crosslinking mechanisms of conventional, waterborne, radiation cure, 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 are covered. Additionally, focus is on the role of various additives and catalysts and characterization of the crosslinked films. Scientists, formulators, and engineers involved in coating development and coating process/application will benefit from this course, as well as personnel dealing with polymers and resins, additives, pigments, etc., and those involved in testing and property development. Novel, High Performance, and Functional Pigments Through this course, attendees will learn about new and emerging technologies in organic and inorganic inorganic /in·or·gan·ic/ (in?or-gan´ik) 1. having no organs. 2. not of organic origin. in·or·gan·ic n. 1. specialty and functional pigments. Emphasis is on corrosion inhibitive pigments, carbon nanotubes See nanotube. , opacifying pigments, and nanocolloids. In addition, the course focuses on processing techniques for nanomaterials. Designed for chemists, formulators, and end users, the course provides attendees with the cutting edge technologies for their markets utilizing these unique materials. Formulation of Waterborne Coatings Focusing on water-based coating technology, this course discusses resin preparation, raw material selection, properties, and formulation methodologies. All major areas of application, such as architectural, industrial, and maintenance are covered. A basic understanding of resin chemistries and formulation knowledge is assumed. Attendees will learn: * Both resin technology and formulating variables with emphasis on the benefits and shortcomings A shortcoming is a character flaw. Shortcomings may also be:
* Basic criteria to help the formulators select the best resins and additives for their application The course is geared towards coatings and polymer chemists, formulators, and technical support personnel from coatings manufacturers and raw material suppliers. Hotel Accommodations The WCS See Windows CardSpace. will be held at the Westin Casuarina Hotel and Spa, in Las Vegas. To place reservations, contact the Westin at 866.837.4215 and reference the "Western Coatings Show." All reservations must be guaranteed with the first night's room deposit or major credit card. Cancellations received within 72 hours prior to arrival will be charged a cancellation fee equal to one night's room and tax.
