Optimization of processes and “de-bottle
necking” of operations is a permanent challenge
for paint manufacturers. This session presents
papers dealing with different approaches,
including a model of a polyester melamine
system, simulation of an architectural paint
plant, and a mixture statistics approach to
study interactions between multiple additives
of similar and dissimilar chemistries.
Additionally, interpretation of test results for
better understanding of coatings and raw
materials is discussed.

Roon Award
The Roon Foundation Awards were established and sponsored
in 1957 by Leo Roon, founder of Roxalin Flexible Finishes and
the Nuodex Corporation. Since 1977, these awards have been
sponsored by the Coatings Industry Education Foundation (formerly
the Paint Research Institute) from a grant maintained by the Roon
Foundation. The Roon Award is designed to recognize technical
papers representing original scientific and innovative research
directly related to the protective coatings industry and presented by
an individual associated with the organic coatings industry. Award
competition presenters are individuals associated with the organic
coatings industry–including manufacturers, raw material suppliers,
educational institutions and research laboratories. In order to be
eligible for this award, presenters must request to be considered
with their abstract submission. This award is given annually at the
American Coatings CONFERENCE and the Coatings Tech Conference.
The following ten papers have been nominated for the Roon Award:
