Powder Class Information

PPG's commitment to customer service means total commitment to our customers and suppliers from start to finish.

We offer Advanced Training for ENVIROCRON coatings because we know that the best performance of our customers' coating systems will result from the combined expertise of our customers, our suppliers, and ourselves.

The purpose of these two-day Advanced Training Seminars is two-fold:

1. To help our customers better understand the powdercoating process through a hands-on study of powdercoating application systems
2. To give us, our customers and suppliers the greatest opportunity to communicate questions and expertise in sessions and in person.

Advanced Training is conducted in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere by many of the same people you deal with regularly as a PPG powdercoating customer. The class will be comprehensive, highly informative, well documented and action-packed. In addition, this training could possibly be counted toward the ISO and QS Certification processes. We look forward to seeing you soon.
