NEW DEVELOPMENTS, STRATEGIES & TRENDS IN

Nuremberg, Germany, 7 – 9 May 2007 during the

EUROPE’S LEADING CONGRESS ON COATINGS · INKSADHESIVES · SEALANTS · CONSTRUCTION CHEMICALS

Calling the global coatings community: With a new, enlarged structure, the Nürnberg Congress, held next door to the European Coatings Show, invites you again to learn about the most recent research results and industrial develop-ments, covering the entire range of raw materials and proc-esses for the formulation of coatings, inks, adhesives and construction chemicals. Close to 150 selected high-level technical presentations will keep you up-to-date on the latest developments concerning all technologies, be they solventborne, waterborne, powder or radiation curing systems, testing and analysis or production engineering technology. Not least, the congress will give you a unique opportunity to meet and network with a selection of experts from all over the world.

New this year: The six independent congresses that were held in Nuremberg previously have been combined into one event. Thus, the Nürnberg Congress now features not only 12 technical sessions on coatings development, but also a wealth of ten sessions focussing on printing inks, adhesives and sealants, construction chemicals, produc-tion technology, as well as on raw material procurement issues. This structure allows you to move freely between all sessions and thus to choose your individual priorities from the entire range of these topics.

In addition, a number of special focus sessions will address topics, which, in several ways, go beyond “everyday” formu-lation development, but nonetheless are of high relevance to further progress in our industries:

For the second time, the highly acclaimed session “Science Today, Coatings Tomorrow” will provide a glimpse into what advanced academic polymer and material science has in store for the coatings systems of the future.

Summarising and analysing the most recent legislative develop-ments, a new session will focus on the impact of REACH legisla-tion on formulation developments, highlighting this topic from various angles.

A focus session on technology transfer issues will discuss stra-tegies and examples of successful knowledge management, licensing policies and know-how transfer from science to indus-trial products.

Another new feature comprises four educational Pre-Congress Tutorials on polyurethane binders, biocides, surfactants, and radiation curing materials, which will take place directly before the main congress, enabling you to refresh your knowledge of the chemistry of these important raw material classes.

With this intense and all-encompassing rewiew of current material and process developments, the Nürnberg Congress once more sets out to re-defi ne the state-of-the-art of coatings, inks, adhesives, seal-ants, and construction chemicals formulation – indeed to formulate the future!

Do not miss it – see you in Nuremberg!

Not a coatings expert yet? Our new Pre-Con-gress Tutorials, taking place immediately before the start of the main congress, will try to change that – at least for some impor-tant specific coatings topics. Presented by renowned international experts, the tutori-als will build up, or refresh, your knowledge on the fundamentals of their respective topics, providing a concise review of the basic chemistry and physics involved, in an intense, interactive working atmos-phere. They will thus help you to follow and evaluate the high-level presentations of the main congress more easily, and also to meet with exhibitors at the European Coatings Show backed by a more profound knowledge base.

Please note that the Pre-Congress Tutorials and the main Congress are two individual events. Participation is limited at the exclusive tutorials and will be reserved on a first come, first served basis. Extra-registration is absolutely necessary.

PRE-CONGRESS TUTORIALS

DELEGATES’ PRE-CONGRESS SURVEYDrawing on the combined international expertise and market knowledge of both speakers and delegates, an anonymous exclusive survey will be held among all participants of the Nürnberg Congress, some weeks before the Congress starts. The results of the survey will be presented exclusively during the Plenary Session at the Nürnberg Congress.

The latest programme including abstracts of all papers, any new speaker or changes to schedules can be viewed on our website:

PRE-CONGRESS TUTORIAL I

8.30 – 12.00 H BIOCIDE BASICS Lecturer: Peter Askew, Industrial Microbiological

Services Ltd., GB

Especially in waterborne formulations, biocides are a very important class of additives, but their efficient use requires some special know-how. In addition, with the provisions of the European Biocidal Prod-ucts Directive about to come into force, the choices of available biocides will very probably be reduced in the future.

Our concise three-hour pre-congress tutorial provides you with an opportunity to learn about the basic materials and concepts that are at work in modern biocide systems for coatings and related applications, for both in-can and film preservation. It focuses on industrially important biocides, and their use in vari-ous waterborne or other coatings systems. Also, the most common test methods that are employed to check biocidal activity will be discussed.

Specifically, the tutorial will address the following topics:

An introduction into the mechanisms of bio-cidal action

The chemistry of common industrial biocides and biocide systems for coatings applications – both for in-can and film preservation

Which system is commonly used for which specific application and why?

What implications do specific biocide systems have on the formulation of the corresponding coatings?

What are the state-of-the-art test methods to judge the efficiency of biocides in coatings formulations?

Peter Askew has been working as a microbiologist since 1977, first in the food industry, before joining the microbial ecotoxicology unit of ICI’s agrochemicals business. In 1988 he became company microbiologist for ICI Paints. In 1996, he formed IMSL Industrial Microbiological Services Ltd., a specialised micro-biological testing and consultancy service based in laboratories and offices near Fleet, UK, with offices also in Berlin, Germany. Pete is a member of all of the major microbiological societies and is Secre-tary General of the International Biodeterioration Research Group. He is also an Associate of the Oil and Colour Chemists Association and is the consultant to the OECD on treated articles.

PRE-CONGRESS TUTORIAL II

8.30 – 12.00 H THE CHEMISTRY OF POLYURETHANE COATINGSLecturers: Simon Waddington,

Dow Europe GmbH, CH Ian Rimmer, Huntsman Polyurethanes, GB

Polyurethanes range among the most important coating materials, and for good reasons. They offer very broad possibilities to vary and adjust coatings properties, and they usually represent the high-end coatings applications.

If you are not a PUR coatings expert yet, our exclusive three-hour tutorial aims to update you on the chem-istry of polyurethane coatings, explaining to you the basic conceptions and materials – in solventborne, waterborne or radiation curing PUR systems, for the most important end user applications.

Specifically, the tutorial will address the following questions:

What are the coatings-relevant standard polyisocyanates and their characteristic properties?

What are the characteristic features of polyol components that are in use for coatings applications (polyether, polyester, poly- acrylate polyols)?

How do these components influence the coatings performance? Which combinations are suitable for which applications and why?

What are the specific characteristics in the binder chemistry of

– 1K and 2K solventborne PUR coatings – 1K and 2K waterborne PUR coatings – UV curing PUR coatings – PUR powder coatings – dual cure systems

Simon Waddington is C.A.S.E. Market Develop-ment Leader Polyurethanes at Dow Europe GmbH in Horgen, Switzerland.

Ian Rimmer has worked in the Polyurethanes Indus-try for 19 years, initially as a development chemist for elastomers, coatings and adhesives. Since three years, he has been Sales Manager (UK & Nordic) for the Adhesives, Coatings & Elastomers division of Huntsman Polyurethanes.

PRE-CONGRESS TUTORIAL III

8.30 – 12.00 H THE CHEMISTRY OF RADIATION CURING COATINGSLecturers: Dr. Kurt Dietliker, Dr. Katia Studer,

Ciba Speciality Chemicals, CH

Volume-wise, radiation curing systems still represent a small segment of the coatings world, but they feature some of its highest growth rates. This is driven by the economical and ecological advantages they offer, and by a rapid development of their technical performance, placing them among the most interesting coatings sys-tems, technology-wise.

If you are not familiar with the chemistry and photo-chemistry of radiation curing coatings, our concise and intense three-hour pre-congress tutorial will change that. It offers you an opportunity to learn the basics of the concepts and chemistries that are employed in radiation curing formulations. It will review the materi-als used in UV curing coatings, and how these materials interact – in 100% or in waterborne systems, for the most important end user applications.

The tutorial will address the following questions:

What are the major applications of radiation curing systems today?

Which binder materials are used in typical radia-tion curing coatings, and what parameters deter-mine their performance?

Which are the most important types of photoini-tiators, how do they work, and how do they differ? Which types are usually used for which specific applications and why?

How do free radical and cationic curing mecha-nism differ? What are the pros and cons of both methods?

What determines the use and the choice of reac-tive diluents? How do they influence the coatings characteristics?

How can optimal curing and coatings perform-ance be achieved for typical applications?

Dr. Kurt Dietliker is a Senior Research Fellow with Ciba Specialty Chemicals in Basel, Switzerland. He has been involved in photoinitiator research since 1983.

Dr. Katia Studer completed her PhD thesis on “UV and thermal curing of acrylic coatings” in 2004 under the direction of Prof. Christian Decker. The same year, she joined Ciba Specialty Chemicals as a Post Doc and received a permanent position in 2005. She is currently technical specialist in the New Technologies group.

PRE-CONGRESS TUTORIAL IV

10.30 – 12.00 H

SURFACTANTS IN WATERBORNE FORMULATIONSLecturer: Samuel P. Morell, S.P. Morell and

Company, US

A major challenge within the coatings and ink indus-tries is to develop waterborne systems that replace conventional solventborne ones, complying with increasingly restrictive governmental regulations on volatile organic compounds. However, the tech-nological switch from solventborne to waterborne technologies is not an easy one. Challenges may concern application, performance or formulation characteristics and often have to do with the con-trol of surface and interface properties. Examples are wetting of low energy surfaces, foaming, water sensitivity, rheology, flow and leveling. To optimise these properties, the control of surface tensions and surface energies is of major importance. This is the domain of surfactants.

Our 90 minute tutorial will review the chemistry, theory and application of surfactants in a wide range of waterborne applications. Specific questions that will be addressed include:

What are typical chemical structures and prop-erties of both nonionic and ionic surfactants?

How do surfactants function with respect to surface tension reduction, macro- and micro-foam reduction and control, wetting of low energy substrates, e.g. plastics, pigment dispersion and stabilisation, improvement of water resistance?

How do surfactants affect rheological behaviour?

What are the VOC implications of surfactant use?

Samuel P. Morell is a Chemical Engineering graduate of New York University and founder and president of S.P. Morell and Company. His work experience includes both technical and marketing positions at Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Rohm and Haas, BASF and Air Products and Chemicals. Sam Morell is a recognised authority on surfactants and has been instrumental in promulgating the use of specialty surfactants to a wide array of industries including coatings, inks, adhesives and lubricants. He has authored numerous technical articles on the subject in various publications.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONUltrafast Synthesis of Ultrahigh Molar Mass Polymers by SET-LRP of Acrylates, Methacr-ylates and Vinyl Halides at Room Temperature

Virgil Percec, University of Pennsylvania, US

Controlled, or living radical polymerisation (LRP) methods have fascinated the community of polymer chemists for a number of years, because these tech-niques provide a previously unthinkable control over the molecular structure of large macromolecules, and effectively allow the design of novel copoly-mer architectures from scratch. Of course, this is a highly exciting vision for industrial chemists as well, especially in the coatings industry: Just imagine being able to build almost monodisperse poly-meric binders or additives, with just the molecular structure and size that you wish it to have. However, very few products of such techniques have made it to industrial products – in the coatings world, dispersing additives so far are the only examples. This has probably been due to a drawback of LRP methods, including atom-transfer radical polym-erisation (ATRP): These methods usually require high amounts of expensive metal catalysts, usually Cu(I)X species and N-containing ligands, which are difficult to remove from the products and make the syntheses expensive. Also, the processes tend to be very slow.

Very recently, however, Virgil Percec and his co-workers at the University of Pennsylvania found a way to overcome these drawbacks, when they discovered that polar solvents can be used to dis-proportionate the Cu(I) moieties, forming nascent and extremely reactive atomic Cu(0) and Cu(II) species. These facilitate an ultrafast living radi-cal polymerisation, proceeding by what Percec has termed a low activation energy heterolytic outer-sphere single-electron-transfer (SET) mechanism.The resulting SET-LRP process requires only a cata-lytic amount of the copper species and provides, at room temperature and below, an ultrafast synthesis

Plenary Session

of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers from func-tional monomers, such as acrylates, methacrylates, and vinyl halides, initiated with alkyl, sulfonyl and N-halides.

Can this technique pave the way for large-scale industrial applications of controlled radical polym-erisation products, then? Is this the breakthrough that will lead to a completely new generation of coating binder systems? In his keynote lecture at the plenary session of the Nürnberg Congress, Virgil Percec will explain the scope and the limitations of the SET-LRP technique in comparison with ATRP, and examine its industrial application potential.

PARALLEL SESSION IV

POWDER COATINGSChairman: Douglas S. Cinoman, Rohm and Haas

Powder Coatings, US

Powder coatings currently experience difficult and very competitive market conditions, which have led the industry to focus on products that achieve just the right level of performances at the lowest possible cost in use. Process optimisation and the careful selection and use of raw materials are called for. Reacting to this situation, however, important innovations are being put forward that concern, for instance, novel binders for high-performing thin layer (< 40µm) coat-ings, improved pigment dispersion technology for optimised appearance, new polyesters for fast coil coating lines, low-bake powders for MDF and plastics substrates, and the combination of high reactivity with high storage stability.

PARALLEL SESSION V

MEASUREMENT & TESTINGChairman: Dr. Chris Lowe,

Becker Industrial Coatings Ltd., GB

Testing and analysis methods very often give reason for debate: the usual dilemma is that most simple, easy-to-carry-out tests do not permit drawing scien-tifically sound conclusions about the actual chemistry and physics that govern the coatings performance. In other words, they allow comparisons but often do not provide insights on why one coating performs better than another. High-tech analysis tools, on the other hand, may provide such insights, but cannot be used routinely in industry because of their costs. Another dilemma is the difficulty of comparing different test methods for the same property, e.g. scratch resistance, or weathering performance. This is the background of this session, which will discuss a number of new methodologies to test and evaluate coatings or raw materials performance.

SESSIONS VI – XI TUESDAY MORNING, 8 MAY 2007, 9.00 – 12.30 H

PARALLEL SESSION VI

PRINTING INKS 1Chairman: Dr. Erich Frank, Flint Group, DE;

Dr. Dirk Meine, Vincentz Network, DE

The two sessions VI and IX with altogether 11 papers address the current situation and recent raw material innovations concerning the entire range of printing inks. Session VI concerns “classical” printing tech-niques (offset and liquid inks). This is kicked off with a rather political topic – the situation of printing inks for food applications, which has been severely under debate recently. Turning to raw material innovations, the focus of current developments clearly is on the resins, driven, for instance, by progress in renewable resources or by constantly increasing performance demands.

ChemInvest GmbH, DE

In almost all their applications, adhesives still enjoy a stable, above-average growth, be it for pressure sensitive, structural, hot melt, reactive, or UV curing types. Certainly, this is also due to the constant inno-vations in adhesives raw materials. The 12 papers of session VII and XIII report on most recent progress in this field. Starting with an analysis of the current market situation, session VII addresses innovations in epoxy systems, the use of nanoparticles in adhe-sive formulations as well as progress in materials for pressure sensitive adhesives.

PARALLEL SESSION IX

PROTECTIVE COATINGSChairman: Michael Aamodt, Jotun Coatings, NO

In anticorrosive coatings, the need for more envi-ronmentally friendly, chromium-free and low VOC systems has pushed the industry to look primarily at waterborne and powder technology as alterna-tives to solvent based products and to replace chro-mium-containing primers. Novel materials include waterborne epoxies, nano-zinc pigments which allow considerable reductions in the zinc-concentration, or functional filler approaches. Other concepts involve UV curing systems for industrial coatings, or novel ideas for self-healing anticorrosion coatings that are capable to react to damage.

PARALLEL SESSION X

COATINGS FOR PLASTICSChairman: Stefan Jacob, Mankiewicz, DE

The coating of plastics poses some of the biggest chal-lenges – their very low-surface energy, tends to make coatings adhesion difficult, and they usually require adhesion primers or physical pre-treatments, which have to be adapted to the specific substrate. As for pre-treatment techniques, atmospheric plasma methods are currently being put forward as new and highly effec-tive methods. Another major issue concerns outdoor environments, where the sun’s UV irradiation has to be prevented from destroying the substrate. An intel-ligent light protection is essential. Also, the trend to create coatings with added functionality has reached the coatings for plastics sector: Examples include novel easy-to-clean and soft-feel coatings.

PARALLEL SESSION XV

POLYURETHANE TECHNOLOGYChairman: Simon Waddington, Dow Europe, CH

With their versatility and broad range of adjustable properties, polyurethane binders remain the work-horse of high performance coatings in many applica-tions. Current research mainly centers on waterborne technology, UV curing PUR coatings, and the improve-ment of solventborne 2K PUR coatings, in terms of their compliance to the upcoming VOC legislation. Novel polyols as well as reactive diluents, and their incor-poration into the coating backbones, have recently received major attention. The six papers presented in this session will provide an overview on the most recent innovations in this field.

PARALLEL SESSION XVI

WOOD COATINGSChairman: Bent Samuelsen, Dyrup, DK

Wood represents a class of substrates of its own, with highly special challenges and market conditions. Long-term outdoor performance, light stability, high transpar-ency with ideal accentuation of the wood grain, as well as very good mechanical and chemical resistances are the major topics that govern this field. Exploiting their optical transparency, nanoparticles play a major role in the current developments, as this session clearly demonstrates.

PARALLEL SESSION XVII

FUNCTIONAL ADDITIVESChairman: Wernfried Heilen, Tego Chemie Service

(Degussa), DE

Base formulations for specific applications are rela-tively easy to achieve, but the devil is in the detail – after all, formulation know-how is all about the fine adjustment of the coatings ingredients and their addition, to match all requirements perfectly. Most often, it is the use of additives that makes a difference. This session discusses recent progress in that field, presenting novelties in the fields of sagging resistance, rheology control, surfactants and, not least, the use of biocides to prevent micro-bial deterioration of the coatings in-can or in the dried film.

PARALLEL SESSION XVIII

PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY 1Chairman: Dr. Olaf Eichstädt, Bühler AG, DE

Making coatings better is not only a matter of raw material innovations – in a time of tight margins and stiff competition, a constant control and opti-misation of the production process is of paramount importance. And process innovations involve high investment cost, making decisions far-reaching and difficult.

Session XVIII is dedicated to strategic, general issues, such as:

the batch-to-batch consistency of raw materials

Six Sigma methods, principal component analysis and integrated software solutions for more effective production process control

semi continuous or fully continuous operation vs. batch-wise production

sustainability analyses and their usefulness in the coatings manufacturing process

PROCESS DEVELOPMENTChairman: Dr. Michael Osterhold,

DuPont Performance Coatings, DE

Coatings development is not only driven by raw material innovations, but also by improvements in the processes that lead to new coatings formulations. For instance, as this session will show, automated high-throughput experimentation meanwhile has important implications on how coatings formula-tions can be developed and tested substantially faster than via conventional “manual” methods. Colour communication is another issue where automation can cause higher efficiency across the value chain. Other examples presented in this ses-sion concern innovations in the build-up and the interactions of complex coatings systems, such as automotive refinish systems or nanostructured mul-tifunctional coatings.

VOC 2010Chairman: David Sykes,

Paint Research Association, GB

With the first step of the European VOC regulation for decorative paints implemented, and the second apply-ing in 2010, the architectural paint industry experiences must meet the demand for increasingly high perform-ance waterborne systems. Reacting to this task, the innovations presented here mainly concern binder technology, such as acrylic, polyesteramide or water-borne alkyds which possess controlled and defined architectures, providing higher flexibility at higher blocking resistance, improved application properties, good penetration into the surface or good drying char-acteristics under adverse conditions. Not least, tinting systems and colourants equally have to face the low VOC challenge.

PURCHASINGChairman: Kirsten Friedrichs,


Raw material costs of course always are a major factor in economical decision making, and “purchasing is a profit making job”. There is, however, much more to procurement than pricing issues only. Specifically addressing experts in the procurement of coatings raw materials, the topics covered in this session tackle questions such as: How do the challenges and opportunities balance in purchasing from emerging market suppliers? What are possible strategies to ensure constant supply for difficult raw materials? How are prices for coatings raw materials developing, and which products give reasons for concern? Spe-cifically, how can the TiO2 supply/demand balance be analysed?

PARALLEL SESSION XXIII

DISPERSANT TECHNOLOGYChairman: Dr. Jochen Winkler,

Sachtleben Chemie GmbH, DE

The stabilisation of pigment and other solid particles in aqeuous, solventborne or UV curing coatings is a prerequisite for good performance. Polymeric dispersants are state-of-the-art, but the key is in their specific design. Using controlled radical polymerisation and modern methods of analys-ing structure-property relationships, new, highly tailored dispersants have been designed, signifi-cantly improving the performance. Colour strength and dispersion stability have been improved, but the agents also feature reactive centres, allowing them to be built into the binder matrix, thus reduc-ing emissions. Specific developments address the dispersion of nanoparticles to optimise their effects in coatings formulations.

REACH AND THE CONSEQUENCESChairman: Dr. Sonja Schulte, Vincentz Network, DE

The European REACH legislation, meaning the Reg-istration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals, meanwhile is beginning to take effect: The final regula-tory statutes of REACH are likely to come into force in June 2007. It is therefore high time to prepare for the consequences of this far-REACHing legislation. Pro-viding information and viewpoints from all industrial parties involved, the REACH session will explain the major points of the finalized REACH programme, the challenges it poses to raw material suppliers, formula-tors and further downstream users, as well as discuss possibilities for collaboration between all parties involved to minimise the economic burden which will have to be shouldered.

PARALLEL SESSION XXV

PIGMENTS & FILLERSChairman: Dr. Gerhard Pfaff, Merck KGaA, DE

Functionality and processability are the major key-words that govern the development of modern pig-ment systems. Innovations are not so much concerned with new colours but new effects. Thus, a focus of this session is placed on the possibilities to use pigments to reduce the heating of surfaces (and of the coated objects) under sunlight. Cool roofs are a buzzword in this respect: NIR reflecting pigments allow coated roofs to keep relatively cool, effectively reducing the energy required for air-conditioning in the interior. Another topic addressed in this session covers the true understanding and modelling of the effects of interference pigments. And, not least, novel easy-to-disperse pigments promise to drastically reduce the efforts needed to incorporate pigments into coatings formulations.
