Sponsor: Coating Equipment Manufacturers Association of Japan 6th Technology Symposium
Coating Technology Essential to Survival, Part 3: Complying with VOC Regulations
- The 6th technology symposium sponsored by CEMA takes as its theme “understanding and complying with VOC Regulations.” It will include presentations on research into the effects of VOC regulations on the coating industry and an overview of voluntary approaches. In addition to examples of compliance measures, a panel discussion featuring industry representatives is planned. The discussions among the participants will surely lead to a deeper understanding of VOC regulations.

14:50 - 16:45 | Panel Discussion | “Voluntary approaches to VOC reduction” are emphasized in the new regulations, which envisage a 10% VOC reduction through regulatory measures and a 20% reduction through voluntary measures. However, the specific methods to be used are not specified. This means that the industry must provide direction and policy proposals. In this in-depth panel discussion experts in fields on the front line of the VOC issue will offer specific proposals.
