The 49. Munich Adhesives and Finishing Symposium 2024 will take place at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Munich in about three months (28-30 October 2024). For many delegates as well as table top exhibitors, it is now the time for their preparations and planning.
This year the Munich Adhesives and Finishing Symposium puts its focus on Pressure Sensitive Adhesives, and covers the whole span from raw materials, applications to process engineering for and within all involved adhesive systems (PSAs, Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives and Extrudable Films) as well as the related technical equipment.
Divided in five sessions, the programme promises to cover the entire range the of gluing, coating and converting industry.
Creative developments in raw materials and product design
These include, besides groundbreaking results from research projects and start-up companies, creative developments in raw materials and product design, sustainability as well as reduction of the CO2 footprint, recyclability and degradability and associated new holistic approaches in process engineering in the sense of the circular economy, innovative formulations and possible applications – mainly in paper, plastic, foil, self-adhesive materials, tape and label, packaging, coating and lamination as well as non-woven related applications.
A few of the cutting-edge topics out of the broad spectrum of presentations from national and international companies, institutes and universities from the world of adhesives, coating and converting:
1. OVERVIEW OF PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVES MARKET; Alexander Watson Associates
2. DOUBLE-SIDED SIMULTANEOUS COATING STATION FOR SILICONE APPLICATION; KROENERT
