European Coatings Show 2009
A preview of the European Coatings Show and the European Coatings Congress
scheduled for March 30 - April 2 in Nuremburg, Germany.
The European Coatings Show
(ECS), the paint and coatings
industry’s leading exhibition
held every other year, will take place
in Nuremberg, Germany from March
31 to April 2. Building on a record
year in 2007, which featured 839
exhibitors from 99 countries and
22,800 visitors from 61 countries,
ECS 2009 is expected to be on par
with those numbers. Anticipating
more than 20,000 trade visitors
from approximately 90 nations,
according to show organizers Vincentz Network, ECS 2009 is poised
once again to prove it is the global
paint and coatings industry’s most
important attraction.
The Exhibition Centre Nuremberg will host the European Coatings Show and the
European Coatings Congress from March 30 - April 2.
EUROPEAN COATINGS CONGRESS
Running alongside ESC, the
European Coatings Congress (ECC)
will run March 30 to April 1. In 2007
ECC included 748 conference participants from 45 countries. This year it
will again cover the entire range of
raw materials and processes for the
formulation of coatings, inks, adhesives and construction chemicals.
Approximately 160 selected papers
in 26 sessions will present scientific
and technical insights on how to
address today´s challenges of
increasing customer and legislative
demands for both enhanced coatings
performance and greater environmental benefit.
In addition to technical sessions on
coatings development, adhesives and
sealants, printing inks, production
technology and construction chemicals, the following special sessions
will be held:
• For the third time, the highly
acclaimed session “Science Today,
Coatings Tomorrow” will provide a
glimpse into what advanced polymer
and material science have in store
for the coatings systems of the
future; and
• There will be two sessions for pre-
senting the latest results of the EU’s
AMBIO and NAPOLEON projects.
These are collaborative projects by
industry and university research
teams working on the development of
modern high-performance coating
systems.
In addition to the main congress
program, nine pre-congress tutorials
have been set-up.
