The Waterborne Symposium seeks submissions from academia, government and industry presenting novel research results in all aspects of coatings. The 50th Annual International Waterborne, High-Solids and Powder Coatings Symposium is a five-day event bringing together coatings formulators, chemists, managers, business owners, industry suppliers, students and educators to network and learn about the latest research and technology in the field of paint and coatings.
Waterborne offers educational and technical presentations to create a profound understanding of coatings’ theory, science, manufacturing and marketing to highlight the improvement of coatings performance and functionality beyond traditional expectations.
