SUMMARY:CCS Dinner Seminar 5/15/2025
DESCRIPTION:CCS Thursday 5/15/25 Dinner Seminar \nTickets $55/person \nPlatinum sponsorship $350 \nGold Sponsorship $200 \nSilver Sponsorship $100 \nLocation: Houlihan’s – Westlake\, OH \n25651 Detroit Rd\, Westlake\, OH 44145 \nAgenda: \n4:30-5:30PM Social Hour \n5:30-6:00PM Order Dinner \n6:00-6:45PM Technical Talk \n6:45-7:30PM Commercial Talk \nTechnical Talk \nSpeaker: Jeremy Pasatta\, VP of Technology and Processing at Advanced Polymer Coatings \nBio: Jeremy received his Bachelor of Science in Polymer Chemistry from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2000 and has completed graduate studies in Biochemistry at University of Texas\, Austin and Polymer Science at University of Akron. He has held positions at Eastman Kodak\, Lexmark International\, CVC Thermoset Specialties\, Valtris and Huntsman Corporation\, focusing on new product development and scale up\, manufacturing support and optimization\, technical services as well as sales and marketing support. Currently\, Jeremy is VP of Technology and Process at Advanced Polymer Coatings in Avon\, OH. Jeremy holds several patents related to tougheners for thermosets and new coating technology and has presented at numerous domestic and international conferences. Jeremy is also the immediate past-president of the Thermoset Resin Formulator’s Association (TRFA). \n“Next Level Epoxy Coatings: How to estimate and fine tune crosslink density for the optimum performance.” \nTalk Abstract: For use in demanding industrial and marine applications\, epoxy and thermoset coatings need to have extremely high chemical and thermal resistance along with high mechanical properties. One way to achieve these properties is to maximize the crosslink density of the coating. This presentation will review the fundamental concepts of crosslink density along with how to calculate and measure this critical property. A detailed case study will show how slight variations in molecular geometry can have an impact on final coating properties by affecting the crosslink density.

SUMMARY:CCS Tech Talk November 20\, 2024: Surface Treatment
DESCRIPTION:4:30pm: Social Hour\n5:00pm: Dinner\n5:30pm: Technical Talks \n7pm: Wrap up \nTechnical Talk – April Tang [Henkel] \nCommerical Tech Talk – Amanda Andrews [Wanhua Chemical (America) Co.\, LTD.] \n \nA Brief Introduction to Metal Pretreatment (What am I really painting?) \nAbstract: Metal surfaces need thorough cleaning and preparation to ensure proper bonding of a subsequent paint layer. However\, the pretreatment chemistry and morphology of the pretreated metal surface is sometimes overlooked. In this presentation\, a broad overview of cleaning and pretreatment chemistries will be discussed along with best practices that promote good paint adhesion\, minimize defects and provide corrosion protection. We will explore commonly-used processes in general and automotive industries. \nBiography: April Tang is a Surface Treatment Technical Manager at Henkel. She received her M.Sc. degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Prior to joining Henkel\, April held roles in R&D and Marketing at AkzoNobel. She brings her experience in paint chemistry to her current role\, where she provides technical expertise and support for Automotive OEM’s conversion coating processes\, focusing on innovations in sustainable metal pretreatment technology. \nOur Platinum Sponsor for this Tech Talk is…\n\n \n  \nWanhua Chemical’s Water-Based Solutions For Industrial Metal Coatings\n \nReference to presentation given at CPI in October 2024 \nAbstract: The metal finishing market continues to grow in volume and needs to have finishes like coatings to provide durability with a healthy appearance.   There is a high demand for materials to perform outside of the manufacturing facilities and not in adequate areas with ideal locations for a coating to be applied.  Examples could be near-loading docks\, exterior steel structures\, vehicles\, doors\, dumpsters\, or other items.  This article will introduce water-based solutions for metal coating\, mainly introducing a 1k solution for light-duty anti-corrosion and a 2k finishing coating solution for CASE market. \nBiography: Amanda has 20+ years in the coating industry.  Her passion for paint all started with her first job selling and mixing paint at a local hardware store. This led to her degree in Polymers and Coating Technology from Eastern Michigan University. Later she completed her Master of Chemistry in Materials & Chemical Synthesis from Illinois Institute of Technology. Amanda has had various experiences in and out of college working for ICI Paints\, Flint Ink\, Akzo Nobel Refinish\, BASF Refinish. In 2011\, she moved onto WACKER as a Chemist & Technical Manager creating new innovative silicone additives for the coating market for 10 years. Then she moved over to Sales within Coating at Michelman to support the growth of sustainable solutions. Most recently\, she has been the Technical Service and Business Director for their Polyurethane and Water-based Product business units. Wanhua Chemical
