CHINACOAT2014 Preview
High Efficient Matting Agents for UV Coatings” presented by
Khoo Teng Hai, technical product manager, Lubrizol Advanced
Materials, Performance Coatings, Asia Pacific.
The second day of the conference will begin at 9:00 am
with a keynote paper , “Modern Additive Technology – a View
into the Future” presented by Dr. Guillaume Jaunky, technical
director research and development at BYK Chemie, Germany.
This paper will update sophisticated additive technologies including examples of industrial applications. Future perspectives bridging the gap between theory and applied science will
also be discussed.
The rest of the presentations include: “New Superwetting
Surfactants for Coatings Applications” presented by Dr. Dai
Ye, senior principal chemist at Air Products, U.S.; “The Role
of Thickeners in Optimizing Coatings Formulation” presented by Dr. Clemens Auschra, group leader research, BASF,
Germany; “Developments in Dry Film Biocides” presented by
Kevin Roden, regional technical manager – Asia Pacific, Thor
Group, Australia; “New High Performance Grinding Medium,
for Industrial Coatings Colorants” presented by Johnny Zhang,
technical development manager Asia-Pacific, Allnex, Belgium and
“Multi-functional Thermochromic Polymeric Shape Memory
Composites” presented by Prof. Long Lin, head of the department of Color and Polymer Chemistry, University of Leeds, UK
and Prof. Haibao and Dr. Yongrao Yao from the National Key
Laboratory of Science and Technology on Advanced Composites
in Special Environments, Harbin Institute of Technology, China.
Technical Workshops
To provide opportunities for training and learning for industry
professionals, two Technical Workshops will be held concurrently
with the main exhibition December 3-4. The Workshops will be
delivered in an interactive style and there will be opportunities for
delegates to discuss their technical problems with the tutor.
• Workshop I: “Formulation and Application of Functional
Coatings and Inks” will be held December 3 at 1: 30 pm and will
be run by Prof. Long Lin, head of the Department of Color and
Science at the University of Leeds, UK. Lin’s research expertise
covers coatings and inks, coating and printing, thermochromism,
photochromism, organic dyes and pigments, security printing,
functional coatings and inks, biosensors, polymeric materials,
statistical experimental design and data analysis, computer-aided
process modeling and computer-aided formulation optimization.
The workshop will provide an introduction to functional
coatings and inks and underpinning principles involved in the
development of such coatings and inks formulations.
• Workshop II: “Sustainable, Green and Bio-based Printing
Inks” will be held December 4 at 9: 30 am and will be led by
Jack Baarends, an industry expert with 44 years of experience
in the fields of formulation of polymers (resins), varnishes, com-
pounds and other raw materials, as well as the end-use sides of
the ink and printing industry. Having spent the majority of his
career as an R&D director as well as commercial director in
various international companies such as AzkoNobel and Lawter
International, Barrends has developed in-depth knowledge on
formulating, developing and testing of printing inks, with em-
phasis on end-user application as well as meeting high perfor-
mance requirements.
This Workshop will provide an introduction to “green” (
versus marketing) and the guidelines to use more bio-renewable
raw materials, to use less or no toxic raw materials and to improve the environmental aspects (de-inking, recycling and bio-degradability) of printing inks. Guidance for ink formulations
for flexo, gravure and offset inks will also be provided. It will
show that “Sustainable (green)” inks are no longer just a buzz-word, but an achievable practice in the real world.
New Tech Corner
This two-day event will feature informal presentations on case
studies, novel technology, insights and marketing strategies, providing an ideal platform for both speakers and visitors to share
their expertise and experiences together.
Themes for this year include:
• Architectural Coatings – Its Sustainability Value and
Market Opportunities
• Solutions for Functional Coatings
• New Technology for Waterborne Coatings.
CHINACOAT’s New Tech Corner will be held in the Meeting
Zone in Hall 11.2. There are no admission feels and all visitors
are welcome to attend.
Theme 1: Architectural Coatings – Its Sustainability
Value and Market Opportunities will feature three presentations on Wednesday, December 3, beginning at 2:00 pm:

presented by Jerrold Wang, research associate at Lux Research
Inc., “Architectural Functional Coatings in China: Market
Opportunities” also presented by Jerrold Wang and “Energy
Management by Intelligent Coating Systems” presented by Tony
Tsang, technical service manager – coatings, Greater China and
Vietnam, Eckart GmbH.
Theme 2: Solutions for Functional Coatings will feature
two presentations on Thursday, December 3, beginning at
10:00 am: “Solutions for Scratch-Resistant Coatings” presented by Haitao Wang, technical service manager industrial
coatings, Evonik Specialty Chemicals (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. and
“Smart Coating and Functional Coatings” presented by Prof.
Jamil Badhdachi of the Coatings Research Institute, Eastern
Michigan University.
Theme 3: New Technology for Waterborne Coatings will
feature three presentations on Thursday, December 3, beginning at 2:00 pm: “A New Technology of Additive in Waterborne
Coatings to Increase the Surface Tension” presented by Keyao
Zhou, assistant technical service manager – OEM/Refinish
Coatings, BYK Solutions (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., “Waterborne
Coatings Market Research in China – A Report on Passenger
Vehicles” presented by Chen Hong of WBCP and “The Discussion
of Super-Fine Grinding Process for Water-Based Coatings” presented by Jun Li, sales manager, Pühler (Guangzhou) Machinery
