Membership

For anyone who has an interest in Surface Coatings Technologies.

The interchange of ideas on technology leads to better products and consequently bigger and wider markets and a better understanding within the industry.

SCAA aims to foster interest in all areas of surface coatings, not just the technical aspects. In line with this policy, its current membership includes people from purchasing, marketing and sales as well as scientists and technicians employed in the research and development, quality management and technical service fields.

To further strengthen this association, SCAA has instituted an “Academic Membership” category, specifically for those individuals working in academia in the field of surface coatings. SCAA extends a membership invitation to people interested in connecting with SCAA and to receive the various benefits enjoyed by members. Membership is at no charge and Academic members will also receive regular eNews and hard copy Journals.

Join SCAA today … you will meet Manufacturers, Marketers, Users and Suppliers.
