A conference like no other
Theupcoming EuropeanCoatings Conference
dedicated to Anticorrosive coatings on3and4
November 2015 in Düsseldorf, Germany, will
feature a newly designed hands-on practice
session that will reveal insights into coatings
raw material development.
Learn about the latest developments of
anti-corrosive alloys during the conference
and find out which treatment fulfils your
needs best; whether anti-corrosion pig-
ments or special fillers are the right choice;
if the right polymer backbone is the better
alternative; or if nanotechnology can prevent
future damages.
Included in the conference is a 2-hour
short course presented by Dr Ulrich Christ,
of IPA, Germany, that will convey the prin-
ciples of anticorrosive coatings, such as:
Basic know-how on corrosion; Wrap up on
corrosion protection systems; Status quo
on coatings technologies; and Trend and
outlook on what’s changing in this coatings
system. Profit from the gathered expertise
and ask the audience about market trends,
technology developments and experience
with specific additives. Your questions will
be answered instantly by the audience of
the conference via a polling system. Use
crowd intelligence to expand your
knowledge.
Other presentations include:
• High performance water-based
anticorrosion coatings without
active pigments - A paradigm
shift? by Guido Möllenbeck,
Alberdingk Boley, Germany
• Optimizing formulation with
Zinc-free anticorrosive pig-
ments by Fabiana Requeijo,
Nubiola, Spain
• Insights in practical milestones
of gaining Cr-free primer on EG
and HDG steel with corrosion
inhibitors by Dr Jürgen Ott,
Heubach, Germany.
Tutorials with practical applica-
tions and individual problem-solving will
cover chemical resistant boosters; How to
choose the right mica for corrosion preven-
tion; Reducing a layer, gaining a better epoxy
anticorrosive coating; Optimising flow char-
acteristics of high build anticorrosive prim-
ers; Economical protection with waterborne
epoxy-amine; and, A non-biocidal coating
approach to the prevention of fouling and
microbial induced corrosion.
All this and more will be available at the
conference.
