CHINACOAT2012 will take place from Nov. 28-30, 2012 at the Guangzhou Int'l Convention & Exhibition Center (Pazhou Complex) located at
380 Yuejiang Middle Road, Guangzhou, P. R. China.
technology and rad-tech products, which is a new exhibit zone
this year. The scope of exhibits cover resins and binders, pigments
and extenders, additives and solvents, production equipment,
powder and UV-cure coating technology, QC instrumentation,
and the latest in safety and environmental management systems.
In line with CHINACOAT’s visitor-oriented approach, show
organizer Sinostar International Ltd. each year strives to introduce more educational elements to the show’s platform to enable visitors to gain the insightful knowledge and effective
solutions to cope with future challenges. A series of technical
programs will be arranged concurrently, including the 10th CHINACOAT Conference, Technical Workshops, New-Tech Corner
and more than 30 Technical Seminars. Specialists and experts
from around the world will give visitors comprehensive analysis
on market development and technology updates.
CHINACOAT Conference
The 10th CHINACOAT Conference will be held at the Ramada
Plaza Guangzhou two days prior to the opening of the exhibition
from November 26-27, 2012. The theme of the conference is:
High Grade Coatings—High Solids • High Build • High Tech.
With the maturing of the paint market in China, specialization in high value-added products has emerged as the key to
profitability. Commercial success no longer hinges on volume
or turnover but on high performance. At the same time, environmental considerations are exerting additional pressure on
product development. Most high performance coating systems
have their own drawbacks, requiring specific technical solutions, often based on complex and clever chemistry, for a prob-lem-free application.
Much of the current R&D work thus focuses on the creation
of high performance products and technologies leading to high
productivity at the shop floor and high differentiation in the mar-
ket place through the development of value added features and
functionalities based on innovative chemistry. Rising labor and
application costs, moreover, make long lasting high-durability
coatings particularly attractive since it helps delaying the main-
tenance interval thereby saving cost.
