The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA), the Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI), Products Finishing magazine, and Southern Company have teamed up to provide a comprehensive training course. The Powder Coating and Curing Processes Seminar is March 5-6, 2019, at the Georgia Power Customer Resource Center (CRC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

Wayne Pettyjohn delivers the basics of infrared to a packed class.

The day and a half introductory course includes classroom instruction and hands-on lab demonstrations. Attendees benefit from personal interaction with the speakers who are seasoned experts in all aspects of powder coating and curing processes. They will receive technical resources to complement the program and gain valuable experience by spraying and curing a part during the course.

The classroom agenda will cover a variety of topics presented by members of the presenting organizations who are dedicated to the education and growth of the industry. Also included is a section on curing, which reviews the basics of infrared technology, several useful applications both electric and gas, and helpful case studies to prove the benefits for those who use it.

The lab demos enhance the seminar training.
