CHINACOAT (The China International Exhibition for Coatings, Printing Inks and Adhesives), the premier event for the paint and coatings market in China, alternates annually between Guangzhou and Shanghai. CHINACOAT has been serving the global industry since it was first held in 1996. According to the show’s organizers, Sinostar International, the three-day event offers a definitive one-stop platform for visitors to source a full range of products, to gain exposure to new trends and to become more knowledgeable about the industry at large.
This year’s event will be comprised of more than 1,010 exhibitors from 30 countries who will display their new products and innovations on a gross exhibit area of more than 64,000 square meters in six exhibit zones.
CHINACOAT2016 will be held November 30 – December 3 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex (Canton Fair Complex).
CHINACOAT2016 Guangzhou will have six exhibit zones: Zone 1 (Halls 9.3, 10.3 & 11/3) China Raw Materials, Zone 2 (Halls 9.2, 10.2 & 11.2) International Raw Materials, Zone 3 (Hall 11.2) International Machinery, Instruments and Services, Zone 4 (Hall 11.2) Powder Coatings Technology, Zone 5 (Hall 11.2) UV/EB Technology and Products and Zone 6 (Hall 13.2) China Machinery, Instruments and Services.
CHINACOAT will also include the following educational programs: CHINACOAT Conference: “Exploring the Novel Cutting-edge Coatings Technology” and two Technical Workshops.
14th CHINACOAT Conference
The 14th annual CHINACOAT Conference will be held November 29-30 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex. The theme of this year’s conference is “Exploring the Novel Cutting-edge Coatings Technology.” According to the conference organizers, there is increasing need for coatings formulations that respond to the environment in a predictable and useful manner. Bringing novel functionalities to polymer-coating system, smart materials will be of substantial business opportunity in this decade. The smart coatings market is estimated to grow from $610 million in 2015 to $5.8 billion in 2020.
This conference is designed to provide a showcase for the dissemination of new R&D in cutting-edge technologies. Topics included:
• Anti-Bacteria
• Dirt-Pickup
• Hybrid
• Stimuli Responsive
• Anti-Fouling
• Graphene-based
• Nanotechnology
• Superhydrophobicity
• Anti-Graffiti
• Heat Reflecting
• Smart Materials
The aim is to provide a forum to present and discuss ground-breaking work, stimulate new ideas, identify critical problems, provide promising solutions and assess possible roadmaps. It will also provide an opportunity for establishing new contacts in academic and industrial sectors in this very specialized field.
The conference’s keynote paper, “Science & Technologies of Smart Materials Including Stimuli Responsive Coatings,” will be presented by Dr. Jamil Baghdachi of Eastern Michigan University, USA.
With increasing demands for polymers and coatings that can sense their environment and be responsive, perform multifunctional tasks are in high demand globally. This paper will present the design, development and manufacturing of these emerging technologies and provide a thorough understanding of science and technology and principles on innovative and cost-effective formulations. Current global R&D activities and future trends will be discussed.
