Registration opens for CCAI’s two online finishing courses

The Chemical Coaters Association Intl. (CCAI) Finishing Academy, Lakewood Ranch, Fla., is offering two online courses this fall—Powder Coating and Liquid Coating—each set to begin Oct. 4.

The Powder Coating course addresses formulation, manufacturing of powder coatings, powder coating materials, material handling, surface preparation, powder application equipment and systems, curing technology, quality, maintenance, troubleshooting, and overall costs for operating a powder coating line.

The Liquid Coating course covers material handling, hanging methods, surface preparation, and curing. Students will learn about the benefits and various types of liquid coatings, including formulating and testing. The course will also cover the operational costing of a liquid coating system, health and safety, and maintenance and troubleshooting of liquid coating equipment.

Both courses include weekly assignments, quizzes, and interactive forum discussions with the instructor and other students.
