Conference attendees, chairmen and
speakers will be able to meet in a relaxed
atmosphere after the end of the first day
of the conference at the AC Conference
Reception, Monday, May 7, 2011 from
5: 30 pm – 7:00 pm.
The AC Conference Reception is an ideal
opportunity to renew and strengthen
contacts, cultivate business relationships,
exchange the latest news, and participate in
open discussions.
The reception also takes place at the same
time, and is integrated with the poster
session. Come and enjoy the opportunity to
interact with other attendees. Refreshments
and music wil be provided.
Chair: Rajeev Farawaha,

Due to the persistent challenges in architectural
Coatings formulation, a second session is
dedicated to these coatings. The six papers on
this session are focussing on novel additives
and their mode of action for architectural
coatings. This includes presentations on the
use of organic matting agents versus inorganic
types in low VOC coatings, and on novel
additives to address the increased tendency for
foam generation in waterborne systems.

Since formulators are continually searching
for performance improvements in protective
coatings a second session is dedicated to these
systems. The six papers discuss the latest
developments for protective coatings including
intelligent self-healing coatings, the influence
of nanoparticles on performance, modified
nano-structured particles based on SiO2, as
well as novel binders and low VOC solutions.
