For more than 20 years, the TAPPI Advanced Coating Symposium (ACS) has been the preeminent forum bringing together the world’s foremost paper coating experts to present and discuss leading edge, fundamental research in paper coating, surface properties, converting, and printing operations. Don’t miss the best in paper coating at the 2016 Advanced Coating Symposium at Innventia headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 4-6, 2016.
Participants include the world’s leading suppliers, university researchers, paper manufacturers, product development, and technical service professionals and printing and graphic arts specialists.
Product developers, researchers, and academics who have scientific interest in the field of coating paper and paperboard substrates, converting, and ink structures/interactions with coatings will be in attendance.
The program will include papers in these areas:
- Advanced understanding of paper requirements (including surface characterization)
- Converting for barrier packaging, etc., coatings for printing and functional imaging
- Calendaring/finishing
- Advanced understanding of paper coating processes and structures
- Chemistry of coating materials and interactions between the materials
- Coating structure and functional process properties
- Mathematical and computational modelling
- Sustainability: Advances at the Forefront
- Sustainable components and processes (including energy saving, coating recycling)
- Sustainable products (e.g. bioactive and barrier coatings, binder systems).
