Education on Paint Manufacturing

Q. I'm looking for a training course or longterm course at university to learn more about producing paint, which is environmental friendly, like water base paint, etc. Please let me know how I can enrich my knowledge in this field.

A. Please write to the Federation of Societies of Coatings Technologies, where you should be able to find out about courses that deal with paint manufacturing and formulations. Also, you might like to visit their on-line bookstore to see what books you can purchase on these topics. I have purchased a series of monographs that cover a variety of topics; resins, pigments, solvents, automotive coatings, etc., and have found them to be very valuable.

For long term courses, you should site to:

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
