Surface Coatings Association Australia

The SCAA journal is a monthly publication discussing the finer details of surface coatings and the pros and cons. Each month, Surface Coatings Australia delivers at least one substantial Technical Article, and in most issues two such articles are published.

The content also includes News Pages covering Industry News, Product News and Asian News as well as detailing the next two or three month's Meetings Schedules for each State Section and Summaries of recent meetings in each State.

News from the APMF (Australian Paint Manufacturers Federation), APAS, International and local Conferences and meetings are also regular inclusions in the Journal which is distributed free to all members of the Association.
