CCAI Publishes 6th Edition of Powder Coating for Industrial Finishing Applications Training Manual in Color

 

The Chemical Coaters Association International has just released its sixth edition of its popular training manual, Powder Coating for Industrial Finishing Applications.  This coil bound, 208-page manual has been completely revised with new color graphics and photos, several new chapters and a re-written glossary.  The manual serves as a guide to operating a powder coating system and managing the process for efficiency and profit, with emphasis on practical issues affecting daily operations.

 

Under the guidance of editor Jim Gallagher of Harley Davidson, CCAI corporate members contributed new content in every section of the manual. 

 

“I am so excited to say that the new CCAI Powder Coating Manual is set to be released to the industry.  It was designed and compiled from the ground up; incorporating the latest information from the leading experts in the finishing industry and written to provide critical knowledge to the entry level powder coater, yet comprehensive enough to educate the most seasoned powder application veteran,” said Gallagher.  “The collaboration that was given to compile this information was unbelievable and the finished product further supports CCAI’s mission to educate our membership and the entire industry through our training manuals.  Plus, we’ve printed the manual in color for the first time.  I am honored to have been associated in the development and release of the CCAI’s sixth edition of Powder Coating for Industrial Finishing Applications.”

 

The manual includes 14 chapters that covers What Is Powder Coating; Powder Materials; Cleaning and Pretreatment Prior to Powder Coating; Substrates for Powder Coating; Powder Coating Application Equipment; Powder Spray Booths and Recovery Equipment; Ovens; Moving Parts through the Powder Coat Process; Air Management; Powder Coating Removal and Re-Work; Cost Analysis; and Troubleshooting.

 

The sixth edition also includes two new Chapters: Powder Coating Test Methods for Performance and Preventative Maintenance. CCAI thanks the following for its contribution to this edition of Powder Coating for Industrial Finishing Applications:
