Presentation, and the new “Powder Coatings” zone, CHINA-
COAT2011 Shanghai, which is being held Nov. 23-25 at the
Shanghai New International Expo Centre, is a major event for
the global coatings industry.
to the following themes:
• Nanotechnology in Surface Coatings;
• Advanced Technologies for Industrial Metal Industry; and
• Architectural Coatings: Sustainability + Performance.
CHINACOAT Conference
The CHINACOAT Conference will be held at the Renaissance
Shanghai Pudong Hotel - Ballroom, 4/F, on November 21-22,
2011, two days prior to the opening of CHINACOAT. The
theme of the conference is: Technology for Formulating High
Performance Coatings.
Coatings technology will continue to grow by replacing
conventional materials and by expanding into new areas of applications and innovative products. The new low-polluting systems not only have to achieve the performance levels of the
replacing products, but also offer significant improvement.
Basic and applied technology knowledge is the fundamental of
successful development for high performance and functionality coatings products. Today, quality products cannot be made
without the use of functional additives, engineered by a strong
scientific background.
This Conference will explore the technologies and highlight
the problems and opportunities faced by the industry. It provides
an interface between paint manufacturers and suppliers of resins
and additives.
“Globally, the coatings industry is mature,” said Dip Das-
gupta, chairman of the CHINACOAT Conference. “Technology
transfer through conferences and exhibitions plays a vital role in
the globalization process. Innovation needs to be informed by
discussion about new developments in technology.”
Ten high-level technical papers will be delivered at this two-
day Conference. The keynote paper is “Design & Development
of Self-Healing Polymers and Coatings” to be presented by Pro-
fessor Jamil Baghdachi of the Coatings Research Institute (CRI)
at Eastern Michigan University.
Other selected papers include “Dispersing with Reduced
Carbon Footprint” to be delivered by Dr. Ludger Fischer of AC
Serendip AG, Switzerland; “How to Prevent Leaching of Organic Compounds from Façade Coatings” by Wernfield Heilen
of Evonik; “State-of-the-Art, East-to-Clean Anti-Fingerprint
UV Curable Coatings” by Dr. Mouhcine Kanouni of Cytec;
and “Novel Amine Functional Dimer Technology for Low
VOC and Flexible Epoxy and Polyurea Protective Coatings”
by Dr. Paul Cameron of Croda. For full details of the Conference program and registration information, visit: www.china-coatcongress.net.
CHINACOAT’s New-Tech Corner is an ideal interactive platform for both speakers and visitors to the exhibition to share
their experiences and expertise.
It is being held during regular exhibition hours in Hall E4,
Meeting Zone 4C61-70. There is no admission fee and all visitors are welcome to attend.

Co., Ltd.
New Tech Corner
This two-day event features informal presentations on case studies, novel technology, insights and marketing strategies related
Technical Workshop
To provide the opportunities of training and learning for industry professionals, three Technical Workshops will be held on November 23-24 in the meeting room located inside the exhibition
center, SNIEC.
Workshops I and II will be led by Prof. Long Lin, director of
DP Centre of Industrial Collaboration, head of Department of
Colour Science, and professor of Colour, Polymer and Surface
Coating, the University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.
Workshop I: Design and Optimization of Coatings & Inks
Formulations will argue that competitiveness is the key to sustainability. Product innovation quality depends on whether
coatings and inks manufacturers can strengthen their competitiveness. Fundamental knowledge of formulation development
