The OCCA KZN Section was delighted to host a highly successful and well-attended Section Paper event on Wednesday, 27th August 2025, at the Westville Country Club.

The morning was filled with engaging discussions, networking, and a fascinating presentation by Vibrantz Technologies on “The Future of Colorant Systems.”

 Event Highlights

• Outstanding Attendance: The event drew a fantastic turnout from coatings technologists, industry professionals, and sustainability advocates across the region.
• Insightful Presentation: Vibrantz Technologies introduced their groundbreaking Pearls™ technology—the industry’s first and only volumetrically dosed tinting system of solid colorants for water-based architectural and industrial paint applications.
