Our second annual look at how much paint R&D staffers earn and what�s really on their minds as they spend countless hours in the lab.
August 10, 2005

Editor, Coatings World
Welcome to the second annual R&D salary survey conducted by Coatings World. We were quite pleased with the industry’s response last year, and we were not let down in our second attempt. We polled a portion of our readers-research and development personnel involved in the formulations of paint and coatings from both the manufacturer and supplier sides of the business-to determine their attitudes towards their jobs, their salaries and what their biggest challenges are at work. This “snapshot” presents a quick state of the industry report from the men and women who are the heart of the market-those who drive the formulations further, improve technology, meet regulatory requirements and deliver new products to store shelves and customer warehouses. Who Are You? So who are you? Generally speaking, you are a 40-something male who attends between one and three trade shows year and is concerned with office politics! As was the case last year, the vast majority (87%) of our respondents were male and the median age was 44, with our oldest respondents still working in their 80s! Our respondents came from coatings formulators, raw materials suppliers and academia. All told, 69% came from paint manufacturers and 24% from suppliers to the industry. The remainder came from “other,” which includes academia. In the following pages you will find the results of our survey. If you are a statistic, thank you for participating. If not, be sure to get involved next year. We look forward to hearing from more of you next year and publishing the results in November 2004. Christine Canning Esposito
