Comment: Paint industry raw materials conference

On this page in the last three issues we have made several comments on raw material costs in the paint, resins and printing ink industries and referred to the need to look closely at possible alternative materials where possible. Following the modern axiom of “putting our money where our mouth is”, we are pleased to announce that Pigment & Resin Technology is now sponsoring a two‐day conference to be held at the Mount Royal Hotel, Oxford Street, London, on April 29 and 30, entitled: “Raw Materials — The Prospects for the Paints and Inks Industry”.
