Description

This one day course will provide an introduction to paint technology. It will explain why paints are used, what the main ingredients are and which paints are used where.

This course is designed for those who need to know the basics of paint technology. It will be of benefit to sales, managerial, and support personnel from the paint and related industries. It is particularly aimed towards those who work in a paint related field but are not themselves directly involved with the technology.
