Paint and coating chemistry

Who we are – what we do

Since 1947, our Division – today Coatings and Coating Chemistry, formerly Coating Chemistry or APi – has stood for scientific exchange relating to paints, coatings and their raw materials. As part of the GDCh, we bring together around 400 members from research, development and application.

Our commitment to the industry

  • We promote scientific understanding of paints, coatings and their raw materials
  • We strengthen interdisciplinary exchange between academia and industry
  • We connect early-career scientists with experienced professionals
  • We create platforms for exchanging knowledge and experience
  • We cooperate with other GDCh Divisions and our European sister organisations such as FATIPEC
