European Coatings Conference
"Textile Coatings"
May 14th - 15th 2009 / Berlin, Germany
Numerous functionalities
The name says it all: „Textile Coatings“ is the title of this new European Coatings
Conference, dedicated to novel materials and technologies for textile products.
There are numerous applications for textiles in everyday life: protective clothing or
non-clothing like furniture, automotive, sports & leisure, building & construction.
The functionalities of textile coatings are manifold: they can make textile products
dirt-repellent, waterproof, flame-retardant and work against weathering and
mechanical strains. Materials used for these coatings are polyurethanes, silicones,
polymers and nanomaterials among others. We see a shift towards more eco-friendly
solutions.
On a high technical level, recent research results and innovative developments
focusing materials for textile coatings will be presented at this conference, allowing
a concise outlook on the technology of the future. Some of the topics will be:
- Materials used in textile coatings
- Functional coatings
- Coating and laminating methods
The conference addresses R&D managers of coatings raw materials producers,
coatings formulators, and end users across Europe and beyond.
On the day before the main event the conference will additionally host the preconference
tutorial “Basics of Textile Coatings” enabling conference delegates to
acquire a profound base knowledge on general requirements, chemistries and
technologies regarding coatings for textiles.
See you in Berlin!
