Powder Coating 101 Workshop - Powder Coating Done Right: The Basics

PCI’s Powder Coating 101 is a one-and-a-half day workshop that introduces attendees to powder coating by focusing on materials, application, reclamation, testing & evaluation, quality control, the powder manufacturing process and much more. Attendees will gain knowledge of powder coatings and the powder coating process from industry experts as well as have the opportunity to network with speakers and other attendees during lunch and breaks. They will also benefit by attending the Tabletop Exhibition reception on Monday evening. This PCI training workshop is unbiased, commercial-free, and provides a great foundation for the technical conference that follows later in the week.
