Hot topics and the latest research 

The European Coatings Congr e ss 2011 will provide a comprehensive overview of new developments 

A programme packed with 

150 high-level presentations 

awaits attendees of the 

European Coatings Co n g r e SS 

2011, which will take place 

from 28 to 30 March. The 

programme will be divided 

into 25 sessions. 

The technical papers will detail 

the latest R&D findings 

in all areas of relevance to the 

coatings industry and will be 

delivered by international experts 

from both industry and 

academia. 

In addition to paints and coatings, 

developments in printing 

inks, construction chemicals, 

adhesives and sealants, as 

well as production technology 

and measuring & testing will 

feature prominently. 

The Co n g r e s s will be organised 

on the proven approach 

of parallel sessions which 

group the presentations 

under the main themes – 

these include pigments, 

polyurethanes, architectural, 

protective, automotive, 

powder and wood coatings. 

Furthermore, separate sessions 

will be dedicated to 

hot topics, such as nanotechnology, 

waterborne coatings 

and marine paints as well as 

smart coatings and sustainable 

materials. An additional 

session entitled “Science today 

– coatings tomorrow”, 

will provide a glimpse of what 

advanced polymer and material 

science have in store for 

the coatings systems of the 

future. 

Because sessions are held 

in parallel, visitors will be 

able to move freely between 

them all – they will thus be 

able to compile their own 

programme highlights. 

As in previous E.C. Preview years, 2011 precongress 

135mm tutorials x 133mm will directly 

precede the main 

Co n g r e s s. Aimed at providing 

attendees with a basic 

knowledge of raw materials 

classes of relevance to 

the coatings industry, the 

tutorials will cover construction 

chemicals, adhesives & 

sealants, printing inks, marine 

coatings, anticorrosion 

coatings, flame-retardant 

coatings, easy-cleanability, 

polyurethanes, film formation, 

radiation curing and 

epoxy coatings.

Basics of major coatings technologies 

Eleven tutorials to prepare attendees for the congress 

Just before the start of the 

European Coatings Co n g r e SS, 

there will be eleven concise 

and intensive three-hour 

tutorials aimed at updating 

attendees on the major technologies 

employed in the 

coatings industry. 

Following their great popularity 

in 2009, two extra 

pre-congress tutorials have 

been added to this year’s programme. 

Attendees can select 

from one of the following topics: 

construction chemicals, 

adhesives & sealants, printing 

inks, marine coatings, 

anticorrosion coatings, flame 

retardant coatings, easycleanability, 

polyurethanes, 

film formation, radiation curing, 

and epoxy coatings. 

Experts from industry and 

academia will familiarise attendees 

with the basics of 

the coatings technology concerned. 

They will discuss the 

basic concepts and chemistries 

involved and introduce 

the latest research results. 

Each tutorial is also designed 

to enable invaluable exchanges 

and networking opportunities 

between attendees and 

speaker. Numbers for each 

seminar are therefore limited 

to 25. Pre-registration 

intended to reinforce scientific 

exchange and cooperation

Key technology for the 21 st Century 

Two opening speeches of the Congr e ss will focus on sustainability 

Sustainability is the main 

theme of the two keynote 

speeches that will kick off 

the European Coatings Co ng 

r e SS. They will be delivered 

by Prof. Matthias Beller, 

Executive Director at the 

Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, 

University of Rostock, 

Germany, and Dr. Erik Risberg, 

Senior Chemist R&D 

Antifouling at Jotun, Norway. 

Prof. Matthias Beller, Leibniz 

Institute for Catalysis at the 

University of Rostock 

Erik Risberg, Jotun 

Despite numerous important 

methodological advancements 

in all areas of 

chemistry, the industrial 

production of chemicals can 

still be improved,” says Beller. 

“Currently, more than 80 

% of all products originating 

from the chemical industry 

are made by catalysis. Consequently, 

the development of 

more efficient catalysts constitutes 

a key factor for the 

sustainable production of all 

kinds of chemicals today and 

in the future.” 

The short talk will show that 

both recently developed 

molecular-defined and nanostructured 

catalysts enable 

academic and industrial chemists 

to perform their organic 

syntheses more selectively 

and with improved economics. 

Examples demonstrating the 

superiority of catalytic processes 

over more traditional 

stoichiometric reactions will 

include hydrogenations and 

dehydrogenations, oxidation 

reactions as well as modern 

CC coupling reactions. 

“What is currently being done 

to improve sustainability in 

the coatings business and 

what is needed for the future?” 

asks Risberg. “To cover 

all aspects related to sustainability 

through the eyes of a 

paint manufacturer can be a 

challenge, especially when the 

process is being monitored 

from cradle to grave. Impor-

tant aspects are the choice of 

raw materials and their production; 

the manufacture of 

the product itself; the logis- 

tics throughout the chain; the 

protection properties for the 

end user; the process involved 

in the disposal; and waste 

treatment. Several tools are 

available for evaluating the 

sustainability of products and 

solutions. Life cycle assessments 

are one approach for 

comparing the various technologies.”

This presentation will provide 

examples of what Jotun 

has done to find more 

sustainable solutions. The 

problem is that an improvement 

in one area may detract 

from another. Consequently, 

a way needs to be found 

of weighing the benefits 

against the disadvantages, 

says Risberg. ❘❚

The future of adhesives 

Technology, application, and the question of what happens next 

Aside from paints and coatings, the European Coatings 

Co n g r e SS will address developments in adhesives. The future 

direction of adhesives will hinge on the influence of ecologically 

sound technologies and sustainability. Co n g r e SS will 

devote two sessions to the latest research results and solutions 

in this area. 

The adhesives industry 

is re-assessing the role 

of adhesives today and in 

the future because it the 

fundamental platform upon 

which current research and 

product development are 

based. In her update on market 

developments worldwide 

and in Europe, Monique von 

Dungen, Chem Research, will 

review trends in regional demand, 

market segments and 

product categories as well 

as make short-term projections: 

Today and future

“A pull demand from end users” 

Trends in adhesive technology 

Dr. Ralf Düssel, Vice President 

Adhesive Resins Product 

Line, Evonik, speaks 

about the need for ecofriendliness 

and the technical 

challenges involved in 

meeting every demand. 

� To what extent are biodegradable 

raw materials 

being used in adhesives? 

Ralf Düssel: In the industrial 

adhesives market, we are 

not seeing any significant 

demand for biodegradable 

raw materials at the moment, 

but there is demand 

for biobased raw materials. 

Although use of those raw 

materials in adhesives is 

limited today, analyses show 

a general upward trend and 

a pull demand from end users. 

In order to meet these 

future market needs, we are 

focusing on biobased solutions 

for our customers. Accordingly, 

we are working on 

developing adhesive resins 

based on “green” raw materials 

in our laboratories. 

� What are the biggest challenges 

in finding eco-friendly 

substitutes? 

Düssel: From my point of 

view, the biggest challenges 

facing the adhesives industry 

are, on the one hand, 

the availability of biobased 

materials and, on the other, 

product performance in the 

end application. Availability 

is important because the 

pull demand from end users 

is not yet as strong as it is 

in the cosmetics industry, 

for example. As for performance, 

eco-friendly substitutes 

often fail to outperform the 

raw materials previously 

used. Therefore, eco-friendly 

substitutes need to offer 

added advantages. These are 

challenges which both raw 

materials suppliers and formulators 

must address. Our 

APAO adhesive polymers and 

polyester polyols for the hotmelt 

adhesives market are 

solvent-free resins for ecofriendly 

systems. Over the 

past several years, we have 

seen growth in these systems 

which indicates that ecofriendly 

substitutes will continue 

to grow in importance. 

We believe that this is also 

one reason for the growth of 

biobased solutions. 

� How will adhesives technology 

develop in the future? 

Düssel: We have identified 

three global megatrends: 

resource efficiency, globalization 

and demographics. 

For the adhesives industry, 

the implications are a need 

for eco-friendly systems 

and greater use of structural 

adhesives for lightweight 

construction. In addition, we 

expect industrial adhesives 

to enjoy significant growth 

in Asia in terms of improved 

production speed and ap- 

plication temperatures. It is 

very important for us to bear 

these trends in mind when 

developing products for the 

future. ❘❚

The latest on cement, 

concrete and mortar 

Two sessions to discuss new construction chemicals 

As in many other areas, sustainability 

is a major trend 

in the construction chemicals 

business. Regulatory 

demands in the construction 

sector are increasingly 

focusing on sustainability. 

Besides the “green” aspect, 

there is a need for raw materials 

that help to speed up 

the workflow or to improve 

workability. 

The European Coatings Co ngr 

e ss offers two sessions 

on construction chemicals. 

Twelve presentations will 

provide an overview of recent 

developments in raw materi-

als for this area, including 

cement, concrete, mortar formulations, 

and other components. 

Jacques Estival of Kerneos will 

present a new technology for 

improving the shelf life of drymix 

mortars based on calcium 

aluminate cement. 

Calcium aluminate mainly 

serves as a component of 

hydraulic binders in dry-mix 

mortars. In order to improve 

the shelf life of such mortars, 

a new, functionalized calcium 

aluminate cement has been 

developed which works by 

stabilising mortar reactivity 

over time and especially pro- 

André Burghardt, Head of 

Marketing Polymer Dispersions 

for Construction at 

BASF SE, talks about raw 

material trends, challenges 

imposed by legislation and 

sustainable solutions. 

� What are the latest 

trends in raw materials for 

construction products? 

André Burghardt: Sustainable 

construction is a key 

trend. We are focusing on the 

development of raw materials 

that improve the economic 

viability of construction 

NEW! 

Our Pigment: VANADUR ® 1010 & VANADUR ® 1030 

Your Benefit: Improved opacity; high gloss; excellent weather & light fastness; good tinting strength 

Recommendation: Automotive, Industrial, Coil & Powder Coatings 

Our Pigment: VANADUR ® PLUS 9010 (green shade) & VANADUR ® PLUS 9060 (red shade) 

Your Benefit: Extreme heat resistance; improved acid, alkali and SO 2 resistance 

Recommendation: All kind of high heat and alkaline resistant coatings

tecting it against humidity in 

storage. Not only have the setting 

kinetics been stabilized 

but other properties, such as 

plastic shrinkage, have been 

retained. 

New additives for 

foam control 

New additives for concrete 

admixtures are the subject 

of a presentation to be given 

by Dr. Oliver Mogck, Clariant 

Produkte (Deutschland). A 

major challenge in the application 

of concrete admixtures 

is foam control. Superplasticizers 

are normally used in the 

materials while conserving 

resources, e.g. by increasing 

the energy efficiency 

of buildings and reducing 

environmental impacts such 

as emissions. Another important 

trend is “Fast & Easy 

Construction.” As time is the 

major cost driver in construction, 

raw materials that help 

to speed up the work-flow or 

improve workability are of 

growing interest. One example 

of where we address this 

trend would be quick-drying 

dispersions, which speed up 

downstream processing.

� What are the current 

challenges in terms of 

legislation? 

Burghardt: Regulatory proposals 

in the construction 

sector are coming not only 

from governments, but increasingly 

from the market, 

and often focus on sustainability. 

They can act as a 

tool for pushing the market 

towards better solutions. 

As a member of several 

green building councils and 

standardisation bodies,

The use of lithium compounds 

to modify the setting and 

hardening times of ternary 

adhesives, mortars and floor

the construction industry. 

Replacing lithium salts has 

proved to be a challenge due 

to the cost-performance ratio 

and overall availability. 

Dr. Antonio Neto of Dr. Paul 

Lohmann will discuss novel 

accelerators that can serve 

as alternatives to lithium compounds 

in the construction 

industry. Accelerators and retarders 

have been developed 

which are free of lithium, give 

equivalent technical performance 

and have an even better 

cost/performance ratio. ❘❚

Marine protection 

From academic research to environmental improvement 

The Marine Paint programme 

is a Swedish 

interdisciplinary research 

programme that has the 

following vision: “Through 

pioneering research, 

Marine Paint will significantly 

contribute to reducing 

the global environmental 

impact of biocides 

originating from marine 

coatings.” 

The first phase of the programme 

was launched 

in January 2003. It focused 

on medetomidine, an α2-ad- renoceptor agonist, which 

had been shown to be highly 

efficient against barnacles. 

The aim was to develop a 

controlled-release system 

for medetomidine as an antifouling

Clever ways to achieve 

better properties 

Sessions on smart and functional coatings provide an overview 

Smart coatings are often referred to as structured coatings 

which confer additional benefits by responding in a defined 

manner to external stimuli. Much talked-about are self-healing, 

anti-fingerprint and conductive coatings, to name but a 

few. These materials are clearly still attracting ever-increasing 

levels of attention. 

Attendees at the Co n g r e s s 

sessions on smart coatings 

and functional materials 

will be given an overview 

of current developments in 

these systems. A flavour of 

some of the twelve presentations 

is provided below. 

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), 

for instance, are very promising 

substances. Tiny as 

they are, these molecularscale 

tubes of graphitic 

carbon can help improve 

both the mechanical and the 

electronic properties of materials.

Polymer Chemistry, University of 

Stuttgart 

Prof. Claus D. Eisenbach, Scientific Chairman, Coatings 

Technology Area, Dutch Polymer Institute, and Institute for 

Polymer Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, comments on the 

latest trends in smart coatings. 

� How do you define “smart 

coatings”? What makes a 

coating “smart”? 

Claus D. Eisenbach: The 

term “smart coating” is 

most probably derived 

from “smart materials.” 

In applied technology, the 

adjective “smart” generally 

characterises the response 

of a material’s properties 

to a stimulus. So, a “smart

Berkei of Byk Chemie will 

discuss conductive coatings 

that contain carbon nanotubes. 

He will present new 

additives based on CNTs 

that are capable of functionalising 

coatings in respect 

of conductivity. 

Prof. Jeon Kook Lee, Korea 

Institute of Science and Technology, 

will talk about electrical

with a focus on transparent 

conductive carbon nanotube 

films which are made by a 

solution spray process. 

coating” will respond to an 

external stimulus such as 

light, temperature, pressure, 

pH, odors & gas. The 

stimulus causes a change 

in the coating’s properties. 

This chemical or physical 

change may be reversible or 

irreversible in accordance 

with the special coating 

system and/or intended application. 


Dr. Mat thias Wanner of Fraunhofer 

Institute for Manufacturing 

Engineering and Automation 

will address novel 

self-cleaning coatings. The 

project he is currently involved 

in seeks to generate 

surfaces which possess selfcleaning 

properties and which 

are less prone to scratching 

or vulnerable to contact with 

surfactants. 

PFPE silanes to 

reduce fingerprints 

Surfaces which are routinely 

touched in use commonly become 

covered in fingerprints, 

skin oil, sweat, dirt and cosmetics 

– all of which are hard 

to remove. Ongoing developments 

in fluorosiliconemodified 

surfaces are aimed 

at conferring easy-to-clean 

and stay-clean properties. 

� What are the latest material 

trends in these coatings? 

Eisenbach: There are many 

examples where the term 

“smart coating” is used to 

distinguish such coatings 

from conventional protective 

or decorative coatings. At 

present, research and development 

efforts are focused 

on different areas. There are 

some coatings which exhibit 

self-healing properties in response 

to mechanical dam-

Studies are also being done 

on coatings with photochromic

Steve Block of Dow Corning 

will discuss improvements in 

the PFPE silane polymer structure-property 

relationship 

and how application methods 

affect surface behaviour. 

Dr. Melindas Wales, Reactive 

Surfaces, will concentrate on 

re-chargeable coatings based 

on natural biomaterials. She 

will detail the current state of 

research in the development 

of biomaterials for functional 

coatings, including antifouling 

and antimicrobial surfaces, 

and will provide specific 

examples of recharging. 

Sustainable coatings will also 

be discussed by Dr. Frank 

Sau er of Lanxess Deutschland, 

who will talk about latest 

developments on slow-release 

techniques for biocides. 

❘❚ 

� What further functionalities 

might be feasible in the 

near future? 

Eisenbach: In principle, anything 

is possible. Protective 

coatings which adapt 

to environmental and/or 

service conditions are as 

conceivable as coatings for 

use in medical diagnostics 

(e.g., test strips) and implants. 

Coatings possessing 

special optoelectronic and 

electronic properties could 

be employed in electronic 

devices and information 

technology. ❘❚

Flexible, faster and cheaper 

Advances in production technology 

The success of a coating in the market depends not only on 

the judicious choice of raw materials and a formulation, but 

also on efficient production. Flexibility, efficiency and cost 

control over the individual process steps are all important 

factors. 

Clearly, production technology 

plays an essential role 

in the manufacture of paints 

and coatings. The process 

should be flexible, fast and 

cheap. Increasingly, paint 

manufacturers are focusing 

on sustainable production. 

The Production Technology 

session in the European Coatings 

Co n g r e ss will provide an 

overview of the latest developments 

in this area. Norbert 

Kern from Bühler AG, for example, 

will talk about three-

“Faster and more flexible production 

processes” 

Dr. Frank Lang, Head of Research and Development, Willy A. 

Bachofen AG Maschinenfabrik, explains the technical conditions 

for speeding up production. For the production of longer-lasting 

coatings, technologies are being developed that 

are more durable and require less solvent for cleaning. 

Dr. Frank Lang, 

Willy A. Bachofen Machinenfabrik 

� When talking to your 

customers, which trends are 

you seeing at the moment? 

Frank Lang: We are seeing 

a trend towards faster and 

more flexible production 

processes. For wet grinding, 

this means that stirredmedia 

mills need to have 

more energy input, higher 

throughput capability, and 

scope for achieving faster 

product turnover. There is 

also a growing demand for 

quality products that have a 

reproducible, uniform particle 

size. 

� What is the most important 

challenge in production 

technology today? 

Lang: Ever greater use is 

being made of fine grinding 

beads. We are designing 

our latest mill for use with 

roll mills. His presentation will 

answer the question: “Why, 

after more than half a century, 

do three-roll mills still 

exist, even in high-tech markets 

such as the electronics 

industry?” He will look at the 

different process parameters 

which influence productivity 

and quality. And how they can 

be adapted and controlled. At 

the same time, he will tell us 

where the limits of modern 

three-roll mills are. 

The session will also address 



beads as small as 0.1 mm. 

The challenge during milling 

lies in separating the 

beads from the product. 

We offer a new bead shape, 

including screens that lead 

to a reduced pressure drop, 

compared to other forms 

of screens. The high turbulence 

in our mill makes 

for efficient dispersion 

and grinding processes, 

even when small beads are 

used. 

� Sustainability is an 

important issue for the 

coatings industry. What can 

you offer coatings manufacturers 

that will help them 

produce longer-lasting 

products? 

Lang: We are optimising machine 

parts to reduce wear 

and extend the durability 

of the mill. This includes 

imposing high quality 

standards on all the materials 

employed. Not only that, 

but our latest developments 

in milling technology slash 

the amount of solvent required 

for cleaning. Less 

solvent leads to lower costs 

for purchasing and waste 

disposal. And offers major 

advantages for health and 

the environment. ❘❚

Between price pressure 

and product safety 

The printing inks industry is facing serious challenges 

The printing inks industry is confronted with challenges 

ranging from price pressure and chemicals shortages to 

product safety, legislation and sustainability issues. Nevertheless, 

materials suppliers are striving to develop new 

solutions for the industry. The session on printing inks will 

present six interesting papers in this context. 

Suppliers of raw materials 

to the printing inks 

industry worry about price 

pressure, whereas customers 

fret about security of 

supply and product quality. 

Given the shortages of basic 

chemicals, the availability of 

raw materials is posing a 

headache for printing ink producers.

Awareness of product safety in food packaging has risen, 

says Dr. Martin Poppe, Head of Global Technical Marketing 

Printing Inks, Clariant Produkte (Deutschland). 

� What challenges are raw 

material suppliers for the 

printing inks industry currently 

faced with? 

Martin Poppe: Availability 

of several key raw materials 

for pigment production 

and the corresponding cost 

changes remain a major 

challenge for the industry. 

A typical example is carbazole, 

a key ingredient of 

print. All these trends will be 

addressed in this session. 

Dr. Ian Maxwell of Lubrizol 

will talk about new additive 

developments for radiationcurable 

inks. Solubility parameters 

are a useful guide 

to the selection of additives, 

particularly dispersants, 

for complex ink formulations. 

Maxwell and his colleagues 

have studied a range 

of chemistry options with a 

view to improving dispersant 

compatibility with UV monomers. 

Improved solubilising 

additives should help to overcome 

industry issues, such 

as how to improve gloss in UV 

offset formulations. 

“Pigment Violet 23”, which 

is in such short supply in 

the market that it is leading 

to significant cost increases 

and corresponding price 

changes by pigment producers. 

Continued low demand 

visibility in many sub-segments, 

combined with strict 

cash management throughout 

the value chain, is causing 

high volatility. Producers 

of solvents, resins and 

additives are facing similar 

shortages. It will be some 

considerable time before 

the value chain stabilises at 

pre-crisis level.

In his paper, Fábio Rosa, Oxiteno, 

will discuss the advantages 

of a new solvent system 

for flexographic printing inks. 

This new system comprises 

esters and alcohols that substantially 

reduce mass losses 

by ensuring balanced evaporation 

of solvents during the 

printing process, compared 

to conventional systems. According 

to Rosa, this system 

is able to replace traditional 

solvents while maintaining 

the characteristics of the 

end paint and effecting a significant 

reduction in solvent 

emissions and VOC. 

Product safety is the main 

focus of Dr. Rob Veraart

� Which pigments for 

printing inks are in most

industry? 

Poppe: Product safety is 

the dominant topic in food 

packaging. Simply meeting 

the purity criteria laid down 

in legislation, e.g. regarding 

heavy metals and primary 

aromatic amines (PAAs), is 

sometimes not enough. Special

tion and technical demands. 

Markus Mechtel from Bayer 

MaterialScience will report on 

this and other topics. The coatings 

industry has long paid 

tribute to the requirements of 

environmental protection and 

legislation. The session on 

sustainability will reveal the 

progress made in this area. 

Functional coatings will also be 

considered. In this regard, Eric 

Williams from The University of 

Southern Mississippi, will be 

talking about colorimetric evaluation 

for activity confirmation 

and quantification. Functional 

nology is now employed in 

all coating systems. 

� What recent development 

projects are driving your 

technology today? 

Hansen: Energy savings is one 

of the drivers of continuous development. 

We are aiming for 

faster drying with less energy. 

I worked ten years ago with 

waterborne polyurethane systems 

which took 45 minutes to 

dry. Now, I get by with 10, and 

we want to shorten that figure 

even further. Film thickness 

per square metre plays a key 

role in this. 



To save energy and to use renewables is as well a focus for wood coatings 

materials have their own dedicated, 

eponymous session. 

The sessions on smart coatings 

and nanotechnology will also 

cover the scope for extending 

the capability of coatings. This 

Concern for the environment 

is also a driving force. Many 

of the demands originate 

within the chemical industry 

– I need only mention, for 

example, the EU’s new biocidal 

products directive. 

New materials have 

emerged that represent a 

major change. Wood and 

metal were around ten years 

ago, of course, but materials 

such as thermowood 

and composites require

year, the Congre ss will also run 

sessions on other coatings areas, 

such as printing inks, and 

powder coatings. Here, too, the 

focus will be on sustainability 

and ecologically sound use. ❘❚ 

� When will the use of renewable 

raw materials be common 

practice and which topics will 

then come into focus? 

Hansen: There are many factors 

at work here. And to speak 

only of renewable raw materials 

is to narrow the scope of 

discussion. For instance, sustainability 

is coming increasingly 

to the fore. Paint systems 

are now lasting longer, need 

fewer coats and consume less 

energy. I personally believe 

that the technology already 

exists and that the rest is just 

a matter of time and the price 

of oil. Coatings raw materials 

often change little. It’s just that 

they are being produced in a 

different way that escapes the 

customer’s notice. ❘❚

Products developed to coincide with the ECS 

For the exhibitors, the ECS is a major event at which they 

serve up countless new products. This goes to show once 

again how the European Coatings Sh o w dominates their 

agenda. Exhibitors such as Synthomer, Capelle, Eastman and 

Rotec not only formulate their objectives and expectations 

but also provide sneak previews of their product pipeline.

for coming is to meet potential 

and existing customers. 

The show is essentially a 

world-famous meeting point. 

That is a huge plus. But it’s 

not only curious visitors who 

stroll through the aisles – the

“I believe that the ECS 2011 will colour green” 

VOC compliance, sustainability and energy savings are the key trends at the European Coatings sh ow 

Once again, the latest developments in the coatings sector will feature prominently at the 

European Coatings Sh o w. Birgit Genn, Executive Vice President, Heubach, believes that 

environmentally friendly solutions have taken on the key roles in the pigment market. For 

Erwin Honcoop, Croda, the predominant trend at the European Coatings Sh o w will be about 

presenting products as biobased and sustainable. 

Birgit Genn 

Heubach 

� Which development 

trends are you seeing in 

the coatings sector? 

Erwin Honcoop: A good environmental 

profile is gaining 

momentum and will be a 

qualifier in today’s demanding 

coatings market. I believe 

that the Europeanc Coatings 

sh o w 2011 will colour green. 

The global coating market 

is focussing on sustainable 

solutions; and it is an opportunity 

to offer these at 

comparable or even better 

performance. We offer a 

number of low and VOC-free 

solutions that meet the VOC 

2010 directive for decorative 

coatings. 

Erwin Honcoop 

Croda 

Birtig Genn: The challenges 

presented to the 

pigment industry are to 

continue to bring innovative 

ideas and concepts 

for formulating high performance, 

multifunctional 

coatings. Technical and 

economic requirements 

must always be met but 

ecological aspects are 

becoming increasingly important 

for consideration 

by the coatings industry. 

The limitation of emissions 

of VOCs continues to be 

an increasing challenge to 

coatings manufacturers 

especially with respect to 

the final performance of 

the coatings. The latest 

challenge to the pigment 

manufacturer has been 

the development of pigments 

providing additional 

design features including 

high end functionality such 

as heat management properties. 

� In which way do your IRreflective 

pigments show 

these additional properties? 

Genn: IR-reflecting pigments 

not only reduce 

heat build-up that can be 

correlated with decreased 

energy consumption but 

also increase the life of 

the coating. That is, due 

to the reduction in surface 

temperature, thermal degradation 

of the coating is 

significantly reduced. In 

addition, temperature differences 

between day and 

night and between direct 

sunlight and shadowed 

areas of e.g. a roof will 

also be evened out by the 

IR-reflecting pigments and 

as a result thermal warping 

becomes less pronounced. 

We will expand our IR- 

reflecting product range 

by adding a black with outstanding 

TSR-values (Total 

Solar Reflection) in the 

near future. 

� How are trends manifesting 

themselves at the European 

Coatings Sh o w? 

Genn: We will introduce a 

new line of universal colourants 

at the European Coatings 

sho w that will provide 

further enhancements 

regarding compatibility 

with the new generation of 

high solid alkyds resulting 

in superior performance for 

the final paint. The development 

has been done in close 

cooperation with several 

costumers. 

We will furthermore introduce 

a new concept for pigment 

preparations for the 

replacement of environmentally 

concerning pigments 

which offer our customers 

ready to use, customised 

colour with the performance 

and functionality requirements 

built in already. This 

new concept is a further commitment 

of our flexibility and 

customer orientation. ❘❚ 

Honcoop: At the European 

Coatings sho w 2011 we will 

introduce our latest innovation 

to the market: a dimer 

fatty amine, biobased building 

block, which exhibits a 

low viscosity. The marine 

and protective market will 

benefit from this technology 

where durability under 

severe conditions is key, 

because of its good flexibility 

and moisture resistance. 

In addition to the “green” 

global market trend, I see a 

second growing trend: the 

future in smart coatings. 

Innovations in smart coatings 

fit in a growing market 

need for highly differentiated 

and technologically 

advanced coatings. In a few 

years time, you will park 

� For 

Source: Croda Coatings & Polymers 

your car in the sun and the 

self-healing coating will reduce 

scratches. Furthermore 

there is always the continuous 

search for flexible but at 

the same time hard coatings 

for heavy coatings applications. 

Therefore, we will 

launch an epoxy toughening 

additive for marine and 

protective coatings. This 

technology provides an answer 

to the markets search 

of flexible coatings whilst 

maintaining the hardness 

performance of the epoxy 

coating. The European Coatings 

sho w 2011 will be an 

exciting event for us. 

� How do you help your 

customers to realise the 

VOC directive? 

Honcoop: With special 

polymeric surfactants, our 

customers can produce VOC 

free alkyd resins. Resin 

manufacturers can formulate 

alkyd resin emulsions 

at low viscosity, with good 

shelf live and dry film properties. 

We also offer a range 

of biobased building blocks 

for resin synthesis in the 

polymers and coatings industry 

the products can be 

used to modify a wide range 

of resins including polyamides, 

polyesters, polyurethanes 

and epoxies. The 

technologies bring performance 

characteristics such as 

water repellency, balance of 

hardness and flexibility to 

the end product. ❘❚

CLP: “ECHA expects to receive 

around two million notifications” 

First December 2010 has brought new classification and labelling 

Whilst the REACH regulation 

is by now familiar to many, 

not all companies are aware 

of the duties they might 

have under the Regulation 

on Classification, Labelling 

and Packaging (CLP). It is 

particularly important that 

downstream users are also 

aware of their obligations in 

this area. 

Andreas Herdina, ECHA 

The CLP Regulation requires 

companies to classify, 

label and package their 

chemical substances according 

to the new CLP criteria 

as of 1 December 2010. The 

classification and labelling 

information must also then 

be notified to the European 

Chemicals Agency (ECHA) 

where it will be included in 

the Classification and LabellingInventory. 

The first 

deadline of 

3 January 

2010 is already 

fast 

approaching. 

By 2 

November 

2010 ECHA 

had received 

9,515 

files and 

510,000 notifications, 

with estimates of around two 

million being expected by the 

January deadline, according 

to Andreas Herdina, Director 

of Co-operation. 

� Why do we need the CLP 

Regulation? 

Andreas Herdina: One of 

the main purposes of CLP is 

to introduce the United Nations’ 

Globally Harmonised 

System (GHS) for classifying 

and labelling chemical substances 

and mixtures within 

the EU. The CLP Regulation 

ensures harmonised communication 

of the hazards of 

chemicals for workers and 

consumers. Thus it will have 

ECHA: � Although down- 

stream users do not need 

to notify, they neverthe- 

less have the obligation to 

classify, label and package 

substances and mixtures in 

line with CLP prior to placing 

them on the market � 

a positive impact on occupational 

and public health as 

well as on the environment. 

An additional key benefit for 

enterprises is that international 

trade of chemicals will 

be easier, as the standards 

for transporting and supplying 

chemicals across the 

world will be the same. 

Finally, the classification 

and labelling Inventory, 

which will include classification 

and labelling information 

on substances placed 

on the EU market, will be 

publicly available on ECHA’s 

website in 2011. 

� Who should notify? 

Herdina: Duties to notify under 

the CLP Regulation arise 

for any company placing 

substances on the market 

and carrying out one of the 

following activities: 

• Manufacturing or importing 

substances subject to 

registration under REACH. 

• Manufacturing or importing 

substances classified 

as hazardous, irrespective 

of the quantity concerned. 

• Importing mixtures containing 

hazardous substances, 

irrespective of 

the quantity, when the 

mixture is classified due to 

the presence 

of the substance. 

• Importing 

articles 

containing 

substances 

which are 

subject to 

registration 

under 

REACH. 

Notifications 

are only 

possible by 

manufacturers and importers 

based in the EU. Non-EU 

companies can nominate 

one of their importers to 

notify on behalf of all the 

others. 

Although downstream users 

do not need to notify, they 

nevertheless have the obligation 

to classify, label and 

package substances and 

mixtures in line with CLP 

prior to placing them on the 

market. For those receiving 

a substance or mixture from 

another actor in the supply 

chain (providing no change 

is made to it), they can take 

up the classification already 

supplied by that actor. In 

cases where changes are 

made to substances, this 

triggers the individual need 

to classify in line with CLP. ❘❚

Anticorrosion 

Dr. Jörg Sander et al. 

This book will appeal to all 

those seeking a better understanding 

of the mutual interactions 

and roles of organic 

corrosion protection coatings. 

This book presents the 

latest insights into the quality 

and chemistry of surfaces, the 

proper way to prepare them 

by conversion treatment, the 

function of resins and anticorrosion 

pigments in paints, 

and novel concepts in corrosion 

protection. As an added 

bonus, all the standards and 

directives mentioned in the 

text are grouped together in

overview. ❘❚ 

Functional Coatings 

Dr. Volkmar Stenzel and 

Nadine Rehberg 

This book provides users of 

paint technology with an overview 

of the most promising developments 

and approaches. 

It also gives readers an idea of 

what is currently possible and 

what is likely to be possible in 

the near future. It highlights 

the current state of development 

and market status of different 

technologies and novel 

surface functions that extend 

beyond decoration, corrosion 

protection and surface 

protection. The authors have 

chosen to focus on organic 

coatings (including organicinorganic 

hybrid coatings) and 

have not addressed PVD/CVD 

methods, galvanic methods 

and other non-paint/lacquerrelated 

topics. ❘❚

Prof. Bodo Müller 

This book covers everything 

about the mode of action, application 

and possible side 

effects of the most important 

coatings additives – in a single 

volume, in textbook style 

to reflect the needs of practical 

work – and thus enables 

readers to rapidly gain a solid 

grounding in these critical, yet 

complex constituents of all 

paint formulations. An indispensable 

companion for formulators, 

it provides both an 

overview and in-depth basic 

knowledge of the most important 

classes of additives. ❘❚

Things to see 

and do 

Nuremberg boasts a wide range of attractions 

A visit to the European Coatings 

Show is a wonderful 

opportunity to explore one 

of the most historic cities 

in Germany. Nuremberg 

evolved into a craft and trade 

centre back in the Middle 

Ages and has been attracting 

travellers from afar ever 

since. Situated in Franconia, 

the city is famous for its 

impressive medieval town 

centre. But it has much more 

to offer than a picturesque 

town centre that evokes bygone 

ages. 

In the modern era, the city 

is benefiting from its central 

location in the European 

Economic Area, especially as 

the EU expands eastwards. 

Nuremberg is one of the fastest-growing 

trade fair venues 

in Europe. Every year more

Nuremberg's almost thousand years of history are still obvious in its 

cityscape 

than 1.2 million people attend 

some 100 events and about 50 

trade fairs and congresses. 

So, it is not surprising that 

the second-largest city in Bavaria 

is well set up to cater to 

throngs of visitors. Nuremberg 

has an awful lot to offer – 

and everything is within easy 

reach. The best way to explore 

it is on foot. There are numerous 

sights, museums and excursions 

to the countryside to 

keep visitors entertained. The 

“old town” is characterised by 

its mediaeval buildings and 

is surrounded by a city wall 5 

km long. The city’s landmark 

building is the Imperial Castle, 

which boasts richly appointed 

imperial rooms, the 

Romanesque double chapel, 

the deep well and the Sinwell 

Tower and an extensive collection 

of weapons and equipment,

http://nuernberg.bayern-online.de/specials/gastronomie


You are catapulted straight into the middle ages at the 

Tucher Knight Games 

tors to Nuremberg should also 

make a point of visiting the 

Gothic churches, the market 

square and the fountains, all 

of which are hugely popular 

attractions. 

Indoor and outdoor 

attractions aplenty 

Nuremberg is the city of toys. 

But you don’t have to wait for 

the annual toy fair to discover 

why – the city’s Toy Museum 

is open all year round. Here, 

the child within you will take 

delight in dolls’ houses, toy 

soldiers, marionettes and 

much, much more. The most 

famous museum in Nuremberg, 

however, is the Germanic 

National Museum. It 

is at once the largest cultural 

history museum in Germany 

and the National Museum of 

the Federal Republic. Museums, 

in fact, abound in Nuremberg. 

From the Albrecht 

Dürer house, the New Museum 

for Art and Design to the 

Documentation Centre of the 

“Reichsparteitagsgelände” – 

there are over 30 museums 

holding exhibitions on various 

topics. 

Some 417 hectares of the 

city are given over to public 

parks and green spaces. For

joggers and nature lovers, 

the Marienberg park, the 

Wöhrder meadow and the 

areas around the zoo and 

the Dutzendteich are particularly 

suitable. Nuremberg Zoo 

houses over 2 000 animals 

and 300 species in a naturallooking 

habitat for animal lovers 

to observe and marvel at. 

Culinary specialties: 

traditional and exotic 

After an extensive exploratory 

tour, the best way to revive 

your drooping spirits is to 

stop off in a sidewalk cafe or 

coffee bar, or to sample traditional 

Frankish food in one of 

the many restaurants. Nuremberg 

is renowned for its culinary 

specialties. Lebkuchen 

(gingerbread) and bratwurst 

sausage have popularised 

Nuremberg cuisine all around 

the world. The sausages are a 

popular “fast food” for locals 

and tourists alike, offering unbeatable 

style and quality and 

are a must on any city walk, 

especially when washed down 

with a good local beer. Speaking 

of which, you mustn’t miss 

a trip to the beer garden when 

the sun shines. 

Apart from Franconian fare, 

Nuremberg has plenty of 

international delicacies to 

sample. Enough, in fact, for 

you to “eat” your way around 

the world. Nuremberg’s international 

restaurants offer 

an irresistible ambience and 

menus that will entice you to 

indulge in specialties from all 

over the globe – not forgetting 

your favourite wine from 

Argentina or Australia, beer 

from Thailand or any other 

exotic country. 

Night owls and party-goers, 

too, are spoiled for choice. 

Nuremberg’s night life boasts 

classic cocktail bars, stylish 

fashionable bars, traditional 

pubs, jazz clubs, live concerts, 

and discos – there’s 

something for everyone. To 

find out what’s on at anytime, 

simply consult the various 

cultural magazines and 

events calendars. One thing 

you can be sure of: the nights 

in Nuremberg are long. ❘❚

from within Europe is straightforward, 

as the city’s airport 

can be reached direct from 

many European cities. Intercontinental 

travellers can 

take connecting flights from 

neighbouring international 

airports, such as Frankfurt, 

Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam 

and Paris. The journey from 

the airport to the exhibition 

and congress centre takes 

only about 25 minutes. Travellers 

taking the underground

the main station. A taxi from 

the airport to the exhibition

underground lines connect 

the main station and the exhibition 

and congress centre: 

the U1 in the direction of
