From the President’s Desk

Dear Members,

It has been an unprecedented year at Indian Paint & Coating Association with hitherto unmatched number of activities during the last one year.

The year witnessed a revolution of sorts in communications between our association and members with new effective communications media like IPCA A2M Communiques: Gleaner, C2R, IPCA Emailers, IPCA Journals, new long term initiatives like a rejuvenated KSS& PowderCoat - in partnership with PaintIndia, New tie-ups both in India and abroad like Asia Coat & Ink Show, partnership with Paint India for PowderCoat, Vietnam Coating Show, China, S. Korea, Interlakokraska Russia and our maiden delegations to most of these countries and partnerships with them.

Regional activities like the Maharashtra Budget Seminar and the Seminar on G.S.T. or the unprecedented success of IPCA Delhi NCR Region's Residential Conference at Jim Corbett or the massive AGMs, Knowledge Sharing Seminars at Mumbai, Hyderabad (in partnership with CSIR-IICT) and the KSS at Indore of IPCA MP & CG Region. The impressive KSS at Ghaziabad with 350 delegates in attendance, or voluntary CSR activities in Vrindavan and Holi Celebrations in Agra. It has not been limited to just the sheer number of such activities but the grandeur, record number of participants and perfectionism achieved in the execution of these events.

It has been a dream run for the new team at the helms since 9th January 2016. We have had huge accolades and lot of appreciation from the fraternity. We have experienced and witnessed over the last few years that the pride and feeling of belongingness to IPCA is much deeper.I, as the President of IPCA feel humbled, inspired, fortunate and extremely happy in congratulating our Team for the Excellent Achievements in 2016-2017. It has been a pleasure and source of immense joy for me. And now the journey of excellence continues.

It gives us immense pleasure to announce and invite you all to the much awaited IPCA Biennial Conference to be held from 3-6 August 2017 for three nights at Hotel Marriott,Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The Jaipur, Marriott is one of the finest properties in Jaipur and is the perfect location for our conference in all aspects. Mr. Amit Mishra and Mr. Jesal Parekh are the Conveners for this mega Biennial Conference.

I look forward to meeting you at the IPCA Biennial Conference.

Jatin Aggarwal PresidentIndian Paint & Coating Association

Dear Friends,

The wait for the next IPCA Journal is finally over and it is back with detailed reports on activities conducted over the last nine months, wherein IPCA has dared to be different and ambitious at the same time and has been appreciated for many path breaking endeavours. The journal depicts our journey of excellence and documents the plethora of events & activities. The plotting of the IPCA's strategic and mutually beneficial MOUs, maiden delegations and Tie-Ups on the global map both in India & overseas, is quite significant and perhaps cannot be emphatically expressed through the columns of this Journal.

Another welcome shift as a result of concentrated efforts ensures that you must never feel our absence with the regular e-mailers & updates, courtesy IPCA Gleaners, IPCA E-mailers & the various communication modules within A2M (Association to Member Communiques) in place. IPCA A2M communications through E-Media and Social Media have brought about a marked change in the way IPCA Communicates now. IPCA journal is an assimilation of all the events covered making it a single read for series of events already conducted and planned for the future.

IPCA Journal has always been a very important mouthpiece for communication between your association, members and the coating fraternity. I as the Editor intend to keep alive the spirit of this Journal and add more pages and content to it in future. We want to reach out to all our members and to achieve this. Live streaming of various Knowledge Sharing Seminars is being done and the videos are posted on our Youtube Channel to ensure that even if you can't attend our events in person, you gain from the knowledge and wisdom of our quality and focussed speakers.

Indian Paint & Coating Association has recently crossed 1350 Members. We take this opportunity to welcome our new members and hope to meet them at our upcoming events. I solicit suggestions and take this opportunity to mark the dates for our upcoming Biennial Conference, a mega flagship event, you simply shouldn't miss.

Warm Regards & Best Wishes,

Rohan BhasinHon General Secretary Indian Paint & Coating Association

NATIONAL SUMMIT ON POWDER COATINGS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PAINTINDIA

Addressing a long-ignored need of the Powder Coa�ngs segment, PowderCoat 2017 was the first-ever dedicated conference and forum for the powder coa�ngs industry. It was held jointly by IPCA & Pain�ndia at Taj Vivanta, Dwarka at New Delhi. The event brought together all three links of the supply chain, beginning with raw materials and manufacturing equipment, finished powders and applica�on systems, and also the end users of powders. This Ini�a�ve is aimed at establishing its footprint as the premier pla�orm for specialized events in the coa�ngs space.

This dream of Powder Coat conceptualized by Ja�n Aggarwal, President IPCA and Sanjeev Gupta, Immediate Past President, IPCA along with cri�cal inputs from Dilip Raghavan, Editor-Publisher Paint India, saw the light of the day on 10 February 2017. Catering exclusively to the fast-growing Powder Coa�ngs Industry it will act as a catalyst to disseminate knowledge and networking opportuni�es to this sector, where none existed at the moment.

The aim of Powder Coat was to present Papers showcasing the latest innova�on in raw materials, formula�on and applica�on techniques. Powder Coa�ng is one of the fastest growing industries in India, with empha�c focus on low VOC and solvent free coa�ng. The industry is bound to grow and find new applica�ons and a�ract innova�on in technologies. Needless to say, with the Indian Economy des�ned to grow the fastest in the world �ll 2020, both manufacturing and services industries associated with Powder Coa�ngs are in an apt posi�on to rejuvenate and update themselves with the latest in technological advancements and benefit from it.

The event began with the ligh�ng of the tradi�onal lamp, followed by the Welcome Address by Sanjeev Gupta, Immediate Past President of IPCA and Convenor of PowderCoat 2017. He spoke of the intensified ac�vi�es of IPCA in the past and to serve the industry, and also spoke of how the partnership with Pain�ndia has been taken to new level with PowderCoat.

The en�re gathering of over 275 delegates par�cipated in the same, and diverse views from across the spectrum were captured making for an extremely enriching session.

The next speaker was Pankaj Verma of Grasim Industries Limited (Epoxy Division), who spoke on Solid Epoxy Resins for Powder Coa�ngs. He spoke of how their special grade of solid epoxy systems scored over conven�onal ones, illustra�ng the same in various hybrid chemistry formula�ons.

The last but not the least speaker for the session was Vibhash Talnikar of Arkema Coa�ng Resins who spoke of Energy Savings with Powder Coa�ngs. He spoke of the needs and so lu�ons us ing powder coa�ngs in both interior and exterior environments to help save energy. He spoke of the typical problems faced therein and how their products and solu�ons could help solve the same.

All papers were extremely well received, and evoked a lot of enthusiasm and feedback from the audience.

This was followed by a networking lunch-break. It also provided an opportunity for the delegates to mingle with the various table-space holders who added a new dimension to the event by having their solu�ons displayed at the event, making for a more meaningful interac�on.

Panel Discussion

The last session for the day began with a Panel Discussion on User Expecta�ons from the Powder Coa�ng Industry. Once again moderated by Dilip Raghavan, the panel saw 3 senior users from the powder coa�ngs fraternity sharing their views, experiences and expecta�ons from the powder segment. The panel members were Punit Pandey from CNH, who represented and shared a mul�-na�onal's perspec�ve from the earth-moving equipment segment, Veereshappa of Hero Cycles, who gave the perspec�ve of both an OEM and a Tier-1 Indian supplier and Ashok Sharma who is a powder dealer with over 35 years experience, who gave an interes�ng insight into customer expecta�ons in the retail trade.

and certain sec�ons of ins�tu�onal customers. The basic points for discussion were:- sourcing considera�ons for MNCs opera�ng in India and likewise global approvals from India, cost-quality considera�ons and trade-offs, joint development ini�a�ves between powder users and manufacturers, evolu�on of technology over the years and opportuni�es for SMEs.

The concluding paper for the day was by Dilip Raghavan of Pain�ndia, who presented an overview of the powder coa�ngs industry in India. His presenta�on first looked at the Global and Asia-Pacific coa�ngs scenario, both in general and specific to powders, before coming

homewards to India. He mapped the numerical aspects of the industry in terms of market size, players, applica�on segments and growth scenarios, and also the qualita�ve aspects of them in terms of chemistries, technology trends, market trends and the future for the industry. The depth and quality of the same was deeply appreciated by the audience.

GST SEMINAR IPCA MAHARASHTRA

Goods and Service Tax Seminar

Indian Paint & Coa�ng Associa�on,Maharashtra Region.

Venue: Gujara� Club, Mumbai. Dt: 16th June`2017

GST is one of the boldest reforms in post independence India. Goods and service Tax will facilitate the movement of c o m m o d i � e s a n d l e a d t o expansion of economic ac�vity. It will not only aid the ease of doing business but also re-engineer business process of c o m p a n i e s . T h e G S T w i l l facilitate "Make in India" by "Making One India." With guaranteed implementa�on of GST from 1st July`2017 this seminar was aptly �med and relevant.

The seminar which was a�ended

by more than 185 delegates started at 4.00 PM. Mr. Nishit Mehta the convenor for the event welcomed the delegates. He invited the Chairman Mr. Jaydeep Nagrecha on the dias. The chairman in his speech stressed the importance of the seminar. He informed the m e m b e r s t h a t p r o p e r understanding of the GST act will help in be�er compliance of the law. He requested the members to ask detailed ques�ons to take maximum benefit of the session.

T h e n M r. N i s h i t M e h t a introduced the speaker Mr. Parth

Shah from M/s. S. B. Gabhawalla & Co. Mr. Parth is an expert in the GST law. Having held numerous seminars he is capable of answering a wide range of industry specific queries as related to GST seminar.

He started with a confirma�on t h a t G S T w i l l s u r e l y b e implemented on 1st July`2017. There would be three taxes namely CGST & SGST for Intra-state sales. For inter-state transac�ons it would be IGST. The IGST rate will be equal to the total of SCGT and CGST. The Indian government is going to

fol low the system of dual taxa�on, with both the state and centre having the power to levy taxes. But the biggest is relief is that there will be single taxing event. At the �me of supply or prepara�on of sale invoice the tax liability will be triggered. Earlier the tax liability was based on the origin of goods whereas GST is a des�na�on based tax. Also there will be credit of all taxes paid on input. All this will be computed online.

With more than 800 delegates and 2 hotels h av i n g 4 5 0 ro o m s , J a i p u r Marrio� Hotel and The Lalit Jaipur, it has been one of the most successful conferences in the paint and coa�ng industry in the recent past. For the first �me IPCA organised the conference over a span of three days, as against the tradi�onal two days.

The theme of the conference has been an a�empt to stress upon t o t h e p a i n t a n d c o a � n g fraternity that innova�on is a constant process and we must reassess our current product profile and focus on a culture of innova�on. “Re-innovate to Renovate” the theme also signifies that perhaps our last a�empt of innova�on is dated and over the years we have become complacent and we must gain more knowledge and renovate our products, processes and quality and direc�on of businesses.

The grandeur of the conference was not limited to the scale of its par�cipa�on but also the quality and that unique detailing in each and every aspect of conference organising. IPCA has had a glorious history of hos�ng very successful biennial conferences and emboldened by the recent successes of IPCA and the immense popularity of the organisa�on and its ac�vi�es, the coveted sponsorship slots were sold even before the r e l e a s e o f t h e b e a u � f u l b r o c h u r e .

Communica�ons) like emailers, IPCA Gleaner, C2R, or vast delega�ons and �e-ups with fastest growing economies of the world, or the impressive increase in memberships, at the sheer number and grandeur of various KSS and Residen�al Conferences, it has been record years that has given new direc�on to IPCA. Mr. Bhasin then played a very beau�fully made twenty minutes video that gave a glimpse on various ac�vi�es. It was very well received by the audience.

He then introduced and invited the President of IPCA Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal to give his Presiden�al address.

Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal enumerated the path breaking measures that IPCA took during the last 1-2 years and the immaculate team work and relentless pursuit of o u r g o a l s t h a t m a d e t h e consistent success possible. These new innova�ve ideas and the proac�ve execu�on of the ideas and events has been the key for the success of IPCA. But perhaps the biggest reason the history being made has been the ethos and principals and morality of the balance of “Tehzeeb and Tarraki” in the delegate fabric of culture of IPCA that has resulted i n w i d e a c c e p t a n c e a n d accolades for the fastest growing paint associa�on in India having more than 1400 members today.

Like that

of GST. He gave an example of Ms. Arunima Sinha the first female amputee to climb Mt. Everest. Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal was empha�c at the end to push forward that no one can ins�ll habits of developing the culture of rewarding innova�on in an organisa�on and that with the plethora of knowledge available on the net, we must first let go of our past baggage and then accept the urgency of change and then use the internet to redesign and gain knowledge to re-innovate to renovate.

Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal, President IPCA then announced the proud recipients of IPCA Life Time

Achievement Awards for 2017. It has been a tradi�on of giving our respect to stalwarts of the industry and associa�on who have inspired the fraternity by their service.

He stressed on i m p l e m e n � n g t h e n e w procedures of evalua�ng the threats to the paints. As VOC contents go down the chances for growth of microbes are much

higher. Besides many defects like coagula�on, se�ling, pH dri�, colour change, the paint film sees loss of adhesion, gloss, colour and integrity. The tradi�onal methods are Dip Slides, Streak Paltes, Dilu�on pla�ng, MPN etc. There are more advanced and accurate methods like ATP, DNA based or iden�fica�on of the right microbes, their quan�ty

and dosages required. Microbial control means keeping clean product clean. Sustainable preserva�ve is one which does the job without harming the environment. All water based industry products need biocides. Besides CIT, MIT, CMIT, new technologies l ike MBIT are making their way in India.

Titanium have advantages of be�er coverage, good colour reten�on, less heavy metal and good sales support.

Mr. Anirban De focused on speciality addi�ves from Evonik Industries. On dispersing Agents he explained that the dosage is very cri�cal to performance. Tego Dispers 673 is one of the best addi�ves for Black pigments. It is a 100% ac�ve hyper dispersant. For Water based and dispersion o f O x i d e p i g m e n t s h e recommended use of TD 747W. H e i n t r o d u c e d t h e n e w Zetasperse on the FAZT website which can help in calcula�ng the accurate dosage for dispersing agents. He then talked about the

surface control addi�ves from Evonik for specific proper�es like Substrate we�ng, An�-cratering, levelling, flow, Slip and scratch resistance. He also discussed the wide range defoamers for water borne, solvent borne, Radia�on Curing, High Solid and solvent f r e e s y s t e m s . H e a l s o recommended use of co-binders for proper�es like adhesion promo�on, hardness f o r c o o k w a r e a n d h e a t resistant coa�ngs etc. Evonik is also developing some nano-r e s i n s w h i c h c a n g i v e increased crack and crack

Mr. Ulhas Bhabal then took-over and discussed about the powder addi�ves from Evonik. Acema� which is an excellent ma�ng agent and Aerosil is the best rheology modifier. Besides these proper�es these products can be used to give other proper�es like improving corrosion resistance, scratch resistance,

Mr. Sarvana Kumar from Lonza India Pvt. Ltd. gave his views on current prac�ces and trends in Biocides. For Microbes to grow they need nutrients, moisture, good temperature and pH. A country like India has a climate which is more suscep�ble to microbes. Lonza has a very well established series of Biocides for paints and An�fouling agents for marine paints. With current technology B ioc ides are a combina�on of CIT, MIT, BIT etc which gives more effec�veness a g a i n s t v a r i o u s t y p e s o f microbes. He also briefed about the regula�ons regarding the use

of Biocides. This is more stringent in European market. This makes it compulsory to men�on the hazardous code based which will be determined by the dosage of that par�cular biocide. MIT has been termed the most hazardous of all biocides.

IPCA DELEGATION TO CHINA COAT SHANGHAI - BEIJING

I n d i a n P a i n t & C o a � n g Associa�on has been a pioneer in taking the largest delega�ons to coa�ng shows around the world. During the past two years, IPCA has taken delega�ons to China Coat 2016, Colour Vietnam 2016, Interlakokraska Russia 2017, Coa�ng Korea, South Korea 2016 and South Korea 2017 and now yet again IPCA took the largest delega�on to China Coat 2017, at Shanghai from 15-17 November 2017.

IPCA's delega�on that was 85 members st rong , and was perhaps the best value for money and at the same �me the package was of 6 nights 7 days. With the choicest hotels like Marrio� at Shanghai and Holiday Inn in Beijing, including all sight seeings and meals, IPCA's package also h a d t h e m o s t d i v e r s e representa�on of ambassadors from all parts of India.

IPCA partnered with MSME for the tour to China Coat 2017. Delegates, were led by two enthusias�c tour leaders from LTA Tours , New Delh i and Mumbai.

The group had members from different parts of India such as

Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, U�ar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal and Karnataka etc. There were two separate departures with direct flights from New Delhi and Mumbai to Beijing followed by onward journey to Shanghai. All delegates met at the scenic and historic city of Beijing on 1 2 t h o f N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 7 . Weather in Beij ing was an absolute delight with enabling treasured visits to the Great Wall of China and apt to enjoy carefully selected local and Indian cuisines. The next day was kept to enjoy tours to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. China is a fascina�ng place to travel and with the company of a joyous group from India, it is always a bliss. Bonding of the delegates in the relaxed environment was a pleasure to see. Truly, our coa�ng fraternity has common shades, bonds and threads that are deeper than just our glorious na�on and our businesses.

Next, was the core purpose of the de lega�on, Shangha i . The delega�on reached Shanghai a night before the opening of China Coat 2017. The Hotel was just 20 minutes away from the venue,

the recently opened Courtyard by Marrio�.

To all those who did not visit China Coat 2017, the key take away was that this �me it was a massive affair. Rough es�mates would be that perhaps it was 30% larger in exhibi�on space, with three new halls accommoda�ng many new exhibitors showcasing paint and coa�ngs raw materials. On the opening day, ge�ng in the fair ground was a breeze for IPCA delegates with personalised VIP passes being provided to the delegates. On 15th November 2017, the opening day of China Coat, there was a massive crowd that slowly shrunk over the next two days.

China Coat had many new

insights this �me. Key posi�ves was a empha�c focus on hybrids and water based technologies, perhaps due to the strict EPA and SHE norms in China. Due to similar reasons, and shortage of key raw materials, prices of most of the paint raw materials was showing an upward trend. It seems that China's compe��ve edge in comparison to EU and India is shrinking. But, the capaci�es of plants and the knack of producing niche products in bulk, keeps China Coat as a must visit.

IPCA delegates were treated to finger licking working lunches during the fair to give them an energe�c boost and to ensure that they con�nue their pursuit of knowledge and business. In the evening there were visits and trips for cruise on Huangpu River, shopping drops, visit to thefoggy but beau�ful 94th floor of the World Financial Centre, a cultural show, and on the last night of the tour, a gala dinner to celebrate the camaraderie and to share fond memories with each other. T h e g r o u p r e t u r n e d w i t h pleasant memories of the trip with a hope of profitable returns from their mee�ngs and the knowledge of latest technologies gathered from China Coat.
