The detailed programme of Ecolromat 2006, the European congress on the coating of rail vehicles, has been completed and is available online at www.coatings.de/events/ecolromat/. Four years after the previous event, railway operators, engineering and coating specialists as together with paint and raw material manufacturers are again invited to Mulhouse/France on 19 and 20 October to exchange ideas about optimised coating processes for rail vehicles. Special emphasis is laid on innovative VOC-reduced coatings systems, including, e.g. UV-curing, VOC-free anti-graffiti clear coats. Another focus will be the adaption of successful automotive technologies for rail vehicle coatings and protective coatings with a film thickness of less than 5µm based on nanotechnology. The entire meeting will be simultaneously translated into German, English and French.
