Be part of the first IntAIRCOAT forum in Munich discussing the vision "Aircraft surface treatment 2020" against the backdrop of feasible solutions today and tomorrow!

Leading experts on manufacture and maintenance of aerospace coating processes will inform you on new materials, processes and strategies, providing you with future-proof insights into technologies and concepts.

In an exclusive ambiance, you can gather information on the following core topics:

• Where are we heading to?
  Discuss current changes of global aerospace industry and its implications for surface technology
  Outsourcing, new companies in East and West, changes and transmissions of surface related processes in maintenance, repair and overhaul: Network and find out for yourself what chances new developments bring for your business.
   
• Going green!
  How new surface solutions for aluminium and composites look like
  No chromate, no cadmium, less solvents: How is the status of the current sustainability discourse making pre-treatment and coating systems last longer and have less impact on ecological systems?
   
• Meeting the challenge:
  How to build future competence in the airplane coating industry
  Skilled personnel is not always easy to find. This is also true for the airplane coating industry. Whereas Western companies hold a lot of knowledge and experience, the demand of companies in other global regions for maintenance and coating training is growing. See examples of how global competence in aerospace surface technology can be managed successfully, today and tomorrow.
   
• New composite structures:
  What will their future treatment look like?
  Aircrafts and aerospace components such as tails, wings, fuselages or propellers are high-performance products. Composite materials have gained more and popularity here, despite their generally high cost. This development has culminated to the first major airliner using composite materials for most of its construction. The challenge for surface technology: Carbon fibers, unlike metal, do not visibly show cracks and fatigue. What has to be done to solve future maintenance and repair settings?


• Your additional benefit:
  Bring in your knowledge and opinion to one of five working groups dealing with today's and tomorrow's aerospace coating related topics of utmost importance! Headed by leading experts of the industry, you have the unique chance to discuss and network with your counterparts.
