| The European Coatings Show 2007 The EUROPEAN COATINGS SHOW 2007 plus Adhesives, Sealants, Construction Chemicals, which takes place in the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 8-10 May 2007, is already heading for a new record: The demand from the companies is so large that the exhibition will be extended over the previous event by adding an extra exhibition hall. A variety of events take place under the new common roof of the Nürnberg Congress in the ultramodern CCN Ost at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 7-9 May 2007. Over 800 experts from all over the world are expected at the around 25 congress sessions and the European Coatings Show in the direct surroundings gives them the additional opportunity of sourcing information about innovative technologies and products at the exhibition. The congress keynote of coatings production includes wood coatings, protective coatings, coatings on plastics, VOC 2010, powder coatings, nanotechnology, waterborne coatings, polyurethane technology, pigments & fillers, dispersant technology, functional additives, measurement & testing, and process development. There will also be special sessions for printing inks, construction chemicals, adhesives, production technology and purchasers. The session on "Science today – Coatings tomorrow" will be continued at the Nürnberg Congress in 2007 after the great success of its première at the last European Coatings Show. REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals), the new EU chemical policy expected to take effect in spring 2007, and knowledge transfer between universities and industry are two highly topical issues that will receive special attention at the Nürnberg Congress. REACH will have lasting effects on the entire chemical industry, not just in Europe, but worldwide. The session at the Nürnberg Congress represents a practical source of information for dealing with REACH in everyday work in the future. It takes up this controversial issue and examines the status quo, the impacts of REACH on the various coating raw materials and the consequences for formulation. All participants can naturally contribute actively to the discussion. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
