From its inception, The Waterborne Symposium has been organized and executed by faculty, staff, and students of the School of Polymer Science and Engineering (formerly the School of Polymers and High Performance Materials) at USM. Proceeds from the Symposium are very important to USM and the School of Polymer Science and Engineering.
Please stay tuned as more details will follow! Thank you for being a valued supporter of the International Waterborne, High-solids and Powder Coatings Symposium. We look forward to being back in New Orleans for the 49th annual International Waterborne, High-Solids and Powder Coatings Symposium.
The vast majority (75-85%) of Waterborne attendees are employed in private industry, the balance are academic/government.

Dr. James W. Rawlins#N#Course Purpose:#N#To provide entry level chemists in the coatings industry an understanding of the principles involved in formulating coating s.#N#Course Description:#N#Coatings manufacture is challenging in its complexity as the ingredient list could often contain more than ten items. Formulating a good coating requires a good understanding of the manufacturing technique as well as troubleshooting problems. This short course will seek to impart a comprehensive understanding of pigments, resins, solvents, additives, formulations principles, calculations, and manufacturing techniques applicable to the coatings industry.#N#Who should attend:#N#This short course is a general course covering major paint types presented at a fundamental technical level, and is designed for entry-level chemists to the coatings industry.

It is often assumed that solventbased sealers give better performance than waterborne formulations on concrete because the solventbased sealers are assumed to penetrate better into the concrete matrix. In practice, it can be difficult to measure actual penetration of a sealer into concrete as dyes and colorants used to highlight the sealer may show different migration properties than the polymeric binder. Confocal Raman spectroscopy mapping has been used to map the penetration depth of solventbased, 100% solids, and waterborne sealers that employ acrylic and epoxy binders. This mapping shows that neither solventbased nor waterborne formulations showed any significant penetration into the concrete substrate beyond the first few microns of the open surface. A study was also conducted using a model waterborne acrylic sealer formulation to determine whether additives might influence the penetration of the sealer into the concrete and other factors that could affect the performance of the waterborne coating. This work has shown that the addition of anti-foaming, coalescing surfactants can improve the protective properties of the coating by improving air release and increasing film network formation at the concrete surface.
