European Coatings Journal

Topics from research and development as well as topics from coatings production and raw materials are dealt with in extensive articles. There is always one main topic (e.g. powder coating, additives or water based coatings). The articles are written by external professionals and revised by the editorial team.

Next to professional articles which compose the main part of the journal, there are some permanent sections:

• Market Watch (An overview of relevant M&A, investments, and cooperations in the European paint, coatings and printing inks industry. Exclusive interviews with leading players in the coatings industry, plus indispensable special reports on important coatings and raw material market segments.)
• Association (Structure, strategy and main issues of different associations, which are active in the European paint, coatings and printing inks industry.)
• Technical Papers (High-level technical articles on latest developments in coatings technology written by internationally renowned coatings experts from industry and academia.)
• Events (Exclusive reports from international conferences, meetings and coatings shows.)
• Market Place (Offers an overview of new products, including raw materials, testing, laboratory and production equipment.)

The European Coatings Journal publishes preliminary reports and news reports about subject specific fairs and congresses (e.g. FATIPEC-Congress, European Coatings Show).[2]

Market studies of various key markets are published at irregular intervals.
