NMA Lunchtime Seminar: Focus on Natural Materials and Surface Coating

1pm – 2.30pm 18 November 2021

 

You are invited to join us for our monthly virtual event where we will be focusing on natural materials and surface coatings. This event will explore the how natural materials provide more sustainable alternatives to surface coatings. From the more traditional lime renders to cellulose-based coatings, natural materials provide a versatile solution to many surface coating problems. Join us as we look into the many applications of natural materials in surface coatings including adhesives, films and inks.


The interactive seminar will also provide the opportunity for Question and Answers and we often hang around at the end for a fun and engaging panel session.
