What We Do
Who We Are
The primary objective of the Coating Society is to act as a conduit for exchanging ideas, experiences, and best practices for protective coating for the purpose of corrosion mitigation. To achieve this goal the Coating Society conducts regular membership meetings throughout the year, holding fundraising and networking events, and awards academic scholarships.
The Coating Society of the Houston Area was established in 1956 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with the purpose of promoting education and best practices in corrosion control and to expand the knowledge and proper use of protective coatings to mitigate the effects or corrosion in industry.
Our membership consists of individuals and companies in Southeast Texas and neighboring areas, that are involved in all aspects of protective coatings including end users, applicators, inspectors, manufacturers and suppliers.
