Creative advances in the coating industry

The Paint Research Association's sixth International conference was held in Brussels from November 4th to 6th under the above title. Like its predecessors, it was concerned with developments at the very frontiers of knowledge, and attracted over 200 participants from over 100 companies from Europe, Japan and the United States of America. Most representatives were from paint or raw material manufacturers. Participants, who recieved extended abstract of the papers, were well‐pleased with the Conference, which formed part of the celebration of the P.R.A.'s Diamond Jubilee. The founder‐members would be delighted to see the P.R.A.'s role in bringing together so many distinguished lecturers and important advances in paint technology, described in 17 papers from so many countries; four sessions enabled good time for discussion periods.
