Digital Tool to Ease Coating R&D Formulation

Developing a successful paint formulation requires working in parallel with weight and volume. While working with weight can be easier in lab, you can easily lose control on volume parameters, which are actually the key to control various film properties (opacity, porosity, gloss...).

Join this course to see how you can use digital tools to speed-up your formulation without having to worry about any complicated calculations, search numerous databases, waste time on trials!

• Wisely invest your R&D time in selecting the right ingredient quantities for your coating process with the help of digitalized tools.


• Gain better control over the final film properties by working with volume parameters (vs weight) when developing coatings.


• Save cost as you curb your loading quantities & avoid wastage of efforts & materials with expert tips.
