European Coatings Conference 8 – 9 December 2014, Düsseldorf | Germany Biobased materials for industrial coatings PLUS! • Introductory short course • Market overview • Technical workshops Source: © beeboys – fotolia.com www.european-coatings.com/biobased Biodiversity in every coating detail Biobased materials for industrial coatings 8 – 9 December 2014 Modern coatings must continue to meet the basic requirements of aesthetics and resistance to numerous external influences. But, as reserves of fossil fuels decline, how might raw material shortages be avoided in the future? The first steps to incorporating renewable elements into coatings have already been taken. Renowned experts will try to provide answers and discuss current issues to demonstrate the extent to which advances in renewables are impacting on modern coatings and just how sustainable their future will be. Discuss the latest developments and trends Source: Davidus – fotolia.com Attendees have the opportunity to discuss topics driving the market of protective coatings on a high technical level during technical workshops moderated by speakers of the conference.
