The Painting Technology Workshop, initiated in 2000, is sponsored by the Institute of Research for Technology Development (IR4TD). It is an annual event organized as a forum for technical presentations and critical discussions regarding common painting and coating technology problems in manufacturing industries.
Workshop participants include individuals from industry, academia, and government laboratories and agencies who are interested in solving painting/coating -related problems.
This workshop has dual aims:
The dialogue generated at the Workshop has led to innovative solutions.
Sincerely,

The University of Kentucky Painting Technology Consortium (PTC) joined research and industrial resources to develop a new generation of painting technology with higher energy efficiency and environmental friendliness than what was used on commercial products. Since a majority of manufacturers use paint on their finished products, and stricter environmental regulations governing the painting process are being enacted regularly, the need for a more effective painting technology was and still is clear.
The Consortium brought together a renowned team of researchers who conducted research in six main areas:
In recent years the Consortium was integrated into IR4TD to continue exploring current issues with painting technology, and conduct the Painting Technology Workshop.
