It is reported that the "Coating Wolf Pack" Coatings Engineers' Technical Salon is the only non-profit, public-benefit gathering for coatings engineers in China's coatings industry. Attendees primarily include renowned experts, technical directors, and R&D engineers from the coatings sector. Our reporter learned that this technical salon marks the second meeting held by the Coating Wolf Pack engineers, following their gathering at Fudan University in Shanghai back in 2013. This time, the discussion will center around a key current topic in coatings technology—waterborne industrial coatings—focusing on both cutting-edge insights and addressing industry challenges, with the ultimate goal of driving the robust development of waterborne industrial coatings across the sector.
