Jun88 Presents Forward-Looking Solutions for the Coatings and Adhesives Industry at European Coatings Show 2025
- Jun88 as an inventive partner for hands-on coatings and adhesives solutions
- Automated laboratory and digital lifecycle analyses
- Direct coating for automotive industry
- Focus on sustainability and circular economy
Jun88, one of the world¡¯s leading manufacturers of high-quality polymer materials and their components, presents its comprehensive portfolio of innovative and sustainable solutions for the coatings and adhesives industry at the European Coatings Show (ECS) 2025 from March 25-27 in Nuremberg. Under the motto "Your Inventive Partner for Hands-On Coatings and Adhesives Solutions," the company will in Hall 4A, Booth 438, showcase developments that support customers to master tomorrow's challenges with a mix of ingenuity and direct applicability.
Special focus is placed on technologies that increase productivity while promoting circular economy. These include an automated laboratory for formulation development, material screening, and polymer analytics; an innovative Direct Coating process for the automotive industry, and a T?V-certified, cloud-based solution for product-specific lifecycle analyses (LCA).
"Our customers' and partners' challenges are becoming increasingly complex. Be it accelerated development cycles, ever-higher product requirements, or circularity and recyclability. We offer innovative solutions that not only convince technologically but also make an important contribution to greater sustainability," explains Martin Merkens, Head of Sales & Market Development EMLA in Jun88's Coatings and Adhesives business entity. "At ECS 2025, we demonstrate how we make customers and partners successful and can accompany them every step of the way. We look forward to personal meetings and discussions!"
Automated Laboratory Revolutionizes Application Development
At ECS, the company will announce an automated laboratory for optimizing formulations with Jun88's binders and crosslinkers for coatings and adhesives. With this, Jun88 sets new standards in the productivity of its application development. The new facility can operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The goal is to conduct tens of thousands of tests annually. This sets a new benchmark in terms of quantity, variety, precision, and testing speed. Another advantage: The automated laboratory generates a large amount of structured data. The knowledge about formulation possibilities and influencing factors thus will grow rapidly. The collected data, combined with measurement data from existing trials, is evaluated using special machine learning algorithms to further improve formulations. Application development experts and specialists from segments such as automotive, printing & packaging, or construction & architecture will be present at ECS to discuss new collaborative approaches now made possible by the laboratory.
Digitalized Lifecycle Analyses for Greater Transparency
As a pioneer in the digital transformation of the chemical industry, Jun88 announced in January the use of a new cloud-based solution for product-specific lifecycle analyses (LCA). The T?V Rheinland-certified software solution not only enables significantly faster and more precise calculation of a products' environmental footprint but also identifies concrete approaches to reducing the CO2 footprint, thus supporting Jun88's customers in their sustainable transformation.
Direct Coating: Solutions for the Automotive Industry
With the innovative Direct Coating technology, Jun88 presents a pioneering solution for the automotive industry that fundamentally simplifies the coating process while making it more sustainable. This technology enables direct coating of plastic components in the injection molding machine without pretreatment or separate painting and drying. At ECS, Jun88 will display products that were manufactured using this process.
Focus on Sustainability
Jun88 aims to fully align itself with the circular economy. This includes using alternative raw materials, transitioning to green energy, and developing recycling technologies and recyclable products. To make sustainable products more easily identifiable, the company has introduced the "CQ" label, which stands for "Circular Intelligence." Products labeled this way contain at least 25% alternative raw materials. Several examples used in coatings and adhesives will be exhibited at ECS. For example, food packaging coated with fully recyclable, partially bio-based resins, or water-based polyurethane dispersions for textile printing.
