Brazil. The Asociación Brasileña de Fabricantes de Pintura, Abrafati, announced that the focus of the next edition of the Abrafati fair will be the development of new raw materials and formulation solutions for "the paints of the future".
Spokespersons of the entity reported that, in line with the global trend, the ninth Seminar on Environmental Affairs and Safety will be held, with the participation of Mark Kurschner, president of the Product Care Association, a Canadian organization recognized for managing the most important program of collection, use and disposal of waste that since 1994 works with the paint sector in the province of British Columbia.
"I'll try to show how those initiatives worked in North America from every point of view, including regulation, cost and operation," Kurschner said, referring to his participation in the event.
To this forum is added the conference of the global director of Research and Development of Dow Coating Materials, John Klier; who will explain the processes related to the new raw materials available on the market including new additives, water-based chemistry and technologies to increase the covering power of architectural coatings.
The fair will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, between November 21 and 23, and it is expected that the main suppliers of raw materials from Brazil and North America will participate in it.
