ReCAP: PEI Tech Forum 2019

Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A.

Visit us at PEI Tech Forum. We will provide information on testing of enamel powders on a new generation of powder application equipment, demonstrating the feasibility of completely removing nickel and cobalt from ground coat.

Ferro was pleased to participate in the 2019 PEI Tech Forum, with our own Charles Baldwin, Porcelain Enamels R&D Manager in the Americas, serving as the Program Chairman.

Held in Louisville, Kentucky May 7-9, the 2019 PEI Tech Forum focused on two main themes: Back-to-Basics and Suppliers' Mart. The PEI Tech Forum is a pivotal event for the entire porcelain enamel industry – from porcelain enamel shops and laboratories through to providers of materials, chemicals, equipment, and services to the porcelain industry.

Hosted by the Porcelain Enamel Institute, this three-day event featured information-packed technical papers and practical shop-based presentations delivered by leading enamel professionals, including four sessions presented by Ferro.

  • A Century of Porcelain Enamel and A Look Ahead – Charles Baldwin

  • The Effect of Application Equipment on Powder Performance – Ian Toupin, Lab Engineer, Ferro

  • Critical Raw Materials in the Porcelain Enamel Industry – Jake Grauf, Lab Engineer, Ferro
These Ferro talks provided basic information on how to best use porcelain enamel. The talks also served as a platform for celebrating Ferro’s 100th anniversary, demonstrating our ongoing leadership in the porcelain enamel domain and our continued tradition of technical support to the industry. We also provided information on testing of enamel powders on a new generation of powder application equipment, demonstrating the feasibility of completely removing nickel and cobalt from ground coat.

At the booth and in Charles Baldwin’s session, “we effectively presented Ferro products, including porcelain enamel, AquaRealEase®, Evolution®, and Inkjet-printed porcelain enamel.

Many of the event’s participants – among them major appliance OEMs and users of industrial porcelain enamels– visited the Ferro booth where they were impressed by our offering, particularly the Inkjet-printed ceramics. Other contacts and prospects also had a good showing, making the PEI Tech Forum another Ferro success.
