BYK at ECS 2023

Following the renewed postponement of ECS, we are now looking forward to presenting BYK's product solutions to the international trade fair visitors in Nuremberg in March 2023. The coatings and inks industry is once again facing major challenges, because the demands on the coatings of tomorrow are becoming ever more comprehensive: they should be functional, process-improving, and last but not least, sustainable. This raises many questions.

Thanks to its many years of in-depth industry expertise, BYK has a suitable product answer for you as well.

Please note that the pre-conference tutorials and the main conference are two individual events. Pre-registration is required.

Basics of architectural coatings

Weatherability is a big issue for outdoor coatings. Corrosion resistance, UV resistance and other performance requests will be discussed in this tutorial. Different substrates, like metals, wood and concrete make the world of architectural coatings a diverse one. The basics of each surface will be explained, as well as the different testing methods. Future developments in architectural coatings are also included.

Basics of anti-corrosive coatings

Every year we spend millions on anti-corrosive coatings to protect metallic structures. To avoid these damages, effective anti-corrosive coatings protect these structures. The performance of anti-corrosive coatings can be predicted by a variety of different testing methods. This tutorial delivers information on the most important corrosion testing methods and their usefulness. Additionally you will receive a short introduction into the basics of corrosion.
