The European Coatings Show (ECS) and Conference will soon open its doors to formulators and manufacturers of paints, coatings, varnishes, adhesives, sealants, construction chemicals and printing inks.
With 1,024 exhibitors from 42 countries and 28,500 trade visitors representing nearly 110 nationalities, the European Coatings Show closed with new record highs.
Involved as they are in widely diverse fields, these new companies have a common focus: continuous development of sustainable and environmentally acceptable products and processes.
While the emphasis of the European Coatings Show was principally one of incremental technical improvements across the board designed to enhance the performance and functionality of coatings, there is a growing expectation that sustainable development will become the critical source of competition for coating companies and their suppliers in the future.
At Stand 5-413, FRITSCH is displaying laboratory mills for grinding and mixing different materials and mixtures, as well as instruments for particle size analyses according to laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering, dynamic image analysis and sieving.
Sandvik Process Systems (Stand 5-426) has signed an exclusive agreement with Italian extruder machinery manufacturer Extruwork Srl that will enable the company to offer integrated powder paint production lines.
