Adhesives Forum

The Adhesives Forum is the specialised area of Paint & Coatings Italy entirely dedicated to the world of adhesives and sealants – a key meeting point for formulators, R&D managers, application engineers and professionals from the chemical industry.

Designed to provide both strategic insight and technical depth on the evolution of the sector, the forum addresses the main themes driving innovation: sustainability, high performance, safety and regulatory compliance.

The sessions will explore practical solutions and application case studies, including:

  • Isocyanate-free 2K polyurethane adhesives: towards safer and more sustainable chemistry

  • Next-generation polyols from recycled PET for high-performance formulations

  • CNSL-based resins and curing agents: bio-based alternatives for epoxy adhesives

  • Reactive modifiers such as liquid polybutadienes: enhancing adhesion and flexibility

  • MS Polymer™ resins: hybrid technologies for solvent- and isocyanate-free sealants

  • Innovative formulation approaches from leading global manufacturers

An unmissable opportunity to explore the technologies reshaping the performance and environmental impact of adhesives and sealants in industrial, construction and specialty applications.

Free access for all registered visitors.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to stay ahead in adhesive innovation!
