Letter From the Chairman of the Scientific Committee

Dear Participants,

 The paint and coatings industry plays a key role across a wide range of sectors, from industrial production to construction, automotive to textiles. Our industry not only provides aesthetic and protective functions but also holds great importance in areas such as sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility. In light of critical issues like the global climate crisis and limited resources, the paint and coatings sector is taking on greater responsibility to contribute to the world through sustainable transformation and innovation.

 In this context, we are greatly honored to invite you to the 10th International Paint and Paint Raw Materials Congress and Exhibition, which aims to shape the future of our industry. Taking place on May 27-28, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza – Istanbul, this congress will bring together leading experts, academics, and industry representatives to facilitate knowledge exchange and the sharing of innovative ideas.

 Some of the topics to be covered at the congress include:

Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Technologies: Environmentally friendly practices such as carbon footprint reduction, green certifications, and circular economy initiatives. 

Innovative Materials and Paint Polymers: Next-generation raw materials and polymer solutions.

Innovation and Efficiency in Application Technologies: Advances in application techniques, including 3D printing, pressing, and automation systems.

Science and Paint: Formulation innovations through nanotechnology, biotechnology, and materials science.

Material Safety and Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with industry regulations such as REACH, KKDİK, UFI, digital product passports, and border carbon regulations.

Digitalization and AI-Supported Innovations: Sectoral growth driven by digitalization, AI-supported modeling, and process optimization.

Global Trends and Market Dynamics: Key global trends, customer expectations, and new directions in the market.
