Recovery trend confirmed
The month of October reconfirmed the positive trend – which we already shared with our readers last month – in terms of participation in trade fairs and events, together with great international enthusiasm.
Many trade fairs took place in these 31 days, and the ipcm® team participated in-person to many of them. Among these, the three most important events of the year for the industrial cleaning sector stand out: at EMO Milano, parts2clean in Stuttgart and DeburringExpo in Karlsruhe we distributed over 600 copies of the latest October issue of ICT_Industrial Cleaning Technologies.
The pleasure of getting together, traveling again and participating in international events is also reflected in the video-interviews from the DeburringExpo fair that we broadcasted live on our social media channels. Several exhibiting companies had the opportunity to briefly present their industrial company as well as their impressions about the post-pandemic trade fair experience.
Regarding the events, on 7th October we were invited by the paint manufacturer PPG to the inauguration of the new chemistry laboratory dedicated to STEM education at the National Museum of Science and Technology “Leonardo da Vinci” in Milan, created thanks to the support of the US multinational company.

On the 14th, on the other hand, we participated in the inauguration of the Axalta Coating Systems Colour Experience Room in Cavenago di Brianza (Italy), a permanent space where the company's experts will be able to present their range of colours and powder coatings for architecture to architects and designers.
A new issue
October was also the month of the 39th issue of ipcm®_Protective Coatings, our magazine dedicated to corrosion prevention and control technologies. This number is focused on innovative technologies and processes to mitigate and contrast corrosion that are less conservatives and used. Think for example of high-thickness water-based paints, which also have the advantage of being non-flammable, or powder coatings, which are an effective and zero-emission solution for the protection of external structures and metal carpentry.
Training continues
While we are defining the last details of the training program for the 2022 course for Technicians of Industrial Surface Finishing Processes organised by ipcm®_Academy, four modules of the second session of 2021 took place in October: powder coatings application, liquid coatings application, controls, failure analysis & maintenance.
During the training day dedicated to controls, the trainees had the opportunity to try out numerous coating measuring and control tools and to (finally) get to know each other and the ipcm®_Academy team in person.
Stay tuned to discover the new complete programme, it will be available soon.
