Before that, she was employed at the KTH within Highway Engineering for ten years and got her Doctoral degree there in 2005 (Influence of waxes on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture performance). She also worked at the Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) for many years as researcher and research leader within different highway material areas. In collaboration with manufacturers / contractors and building owners, the Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Institute is conducting a research project concerning parking decks. The purpose of the project is to develop a basis for how a parking deck should be designed with regard to floor coverings on concrete. The resistance to studded tires is here of great importance. This paper focuses on relevant methodology for simulating the kind of studded tire traffic that occurs on parking decks in Nordic countries. Field test application of nine different coating systems has been carried out on a garage concrete floor in Gothenburg. The products involved are: one mastic asphalt system, one concrete floor system, five different polyurethane systems, one polyurea system and one acrylate system. Test slabs have been applied in connection with the work on site, for testing wear resistance in the laboratory. Laboratory tests are conducted for all systems according to three different methods, and evaluated. The focus of this paper is on the development and modification of methodology based on prEN 12697-50 (Resistance to scuffing), using studded tires. Laboratory testing was carried out at ISAC Institute in Aachen, with the coating system applied to concrete slabs. Results so far show that the method is promising for testing the wear resistance of coating systems intended for use on concrete parking decks, and differentiates well between different products. ISOPA REACH OUT and Product Stewardship to the Next Level and New Approved Risk Management Measures in the Pipeline for Spray Activities Erik Vangronsveld Huntsman Thursday, 6 November, 09:30 - 10:00 Erik Vangronsveld is a Senior Industrial Hygienist with Huntsman in Everberg, Belgium.

Since 1991 Co-Owner of Polymer Institut. Since 2008, Managing Director of Kiwa Polymer Institut. Car park steel constructions with precast concrete slabs of about 2,5 x 8 m are a special construction system of a German engineer company. These constructions have numerous joints to be filled with elastic materials in longitudinal and transversal direction. The movements result from static loads of the building and of dynamic loads from the car traffic itself. The speech will demonstrate the state of the art to fill the joints, the test procedure with original concrete blocks to simulate the movements of the joints, the loads and the tremendous flexible effects of the chosen material based on Polyurea. Developments in Aromatic Curative Technology for Elastomeric Coatings Yong Tang Albemarle Thursday, 6 November, 11:00 - 11:30 Dr. Tang has BS in chemistry and PhD.in polymer engineering from University of Science and Technology of China in 2005. He then did his post-doctoral research at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering and University of Central Florida, at dept of Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering. Before joining Albemarle Corporation, he worked at Dynamic Innovation as R & D engineer and researched on advanced polymer composites. Currently Dr. Tang works at Albemarle Corporation as Sr. R & D engineer in curative group. Dr. Tang has published 35 peer reviewed international scientific journal papers and 22 conference papers, one book chapter, and 2 patents in the field of nanomaterials, polymer composites and flame retardants, etc. He has been serving as reviewer for 15 international scientific journals since 2006. New regulations in the world have been driving very high costs and long time frames for registration of new chemicals. Blending of registered products is an efficient way to explore new applications of aromatic amine curatives. One good example is 4, 4’-Methylenebis (2-chloroaniline) (MOCA) replacement. MOCA is a dominant curative used in cast elastomer and Japanese roof coating market. There is a desire to find a replacement because of the carcinogenic nature of MOCA. However, no single amine curative system has been able to deliver the cure speed and physical properties of MOCA. Recently, a curative package has been developed with the combination of the software Design of Experiments (DOE) and has been successfully used for Japan roof coatings. These coatings are hand applied and based on 3-6% TDI prepolymers with highly filled systems. The blend of amines delivers appropriate physical properties and prolonged pot-life, which are equivalent and even better than the coating cured with MOCA. Screening work in cast elastomer indicates the curative package has potential in elastomer application. Future work will be to apply DOE to developing new products in other polyurethane markets, such as elastomer, adhesive, sealant and foam. 9 PRESENTATIONS The impact of REACH can be enormous and in some cases detrimental for certain substances. Isocyanates are being evaluated and assessed vigorously in this process. To successfully navigate and drive the isocyanates through this journey without too many negative impacts, it will require the acceleration and elevation of current product stewardship initiatives. Manufacturers of isocyanates are analysing the options together with regulators and it is clear that the involvement and commitment of downstream users and their representative associations are key to drive safely together through this journey that could have many challenges ahead. In a second part an update will be given on the requirements for safe use that are relevant for polyurea spraying activities, submitted in the update MDI dossier as part of a REACH substance evaluation process and that will be reflected in due time in safety data sheets. PRESENTATIONS High Chemical Resistant Polyurea: A Useful Solution for Industrial Sites Protection Dino Vasquez Mapei Thursday, 6 November, 11:30 - 12:00 Dino Vasquez started his career at Mapei SpA in 2007, as the Product Manager for the waterproofing line, after more than 10 years of experience in the field of construction material. His mission has been the enlargement of waterproofing products range, looking even at polyureabased systems, within the worldwide market. The presentation will focus on the development of an high chemical resistant polyurea, describing tests to be performed and chemical structure to be achieved. It will be discussed the ASTM D543 standard, but also other tests to understand real properties of the material. Then a practical example will be shown: secondary containment tanks of Plock Refinery in Poland. The job-site will be described from substrate preparation to polyurea application, in all its typical phases.

Polyaspartic coatings can make a functional garage the talk of the neighborhood. While the neighbors’ rubbernecking eventually subsides, the high performance and durability of polyaspartic coatings remain. To demonstrate the practical benefits of polyaspartic coatings, Bayer MaterialScience LLC monitored the application of a two -part polyaspartic coating on an approximately 70m² residential garage. The application shows the benefits of polyaspartic coatings, including excellent ultraviolet- (UV), chemical-, and abrasionresistance; ultra-low volatile organic compounds (VOCs); color stability; and, cleanability. The actual presentation is based on a eview of the garage after 4 years in place. 11 PRESENTATIONS Robotics Meets Coatings Equipment: Improving Bridge Deck Polyurea Application PRESENTATIONS New Prepolymer Developments for Polyurea Applications Servaas Holvoet Huntsman Polyurethanes Friday, 7 November, 10:00 - 10:30 Dr. Holvoet received his PhD in polymer chemistry in 2007 at Ghent University, Belgium, where his work focused on water-borne UV curable polymers. Thereafter, he was a research associate at the University of Laval in Quebec, Canada where he studied defect analysis and the ageing of thin steel coatings. Dr. Holvoet joined Huntsman in 2010 as a polyurethane research scientist where he was responsible for the development of resins for diverse adhesive, coating and elastomer applications as well as binders for composite wood applications. This paper will focus on a number of recent developments, reflecting Huntsman's continuous commitment to the polyurea community. SUPRASEC® 2451 product has been introduced as a new flexible primer technology that can improve the performance of polyurea spray applied coatings. Moreover, new isocyanate-based prepolymers are being designed, which enable the more cost-effective development of polyurea systems. Finally, this paper will demonstrate Huntsman's capabilities in offering prepolymers based on alternative building blocks and raw materials, helping formulators achieve the creation of tailor-made polyurea systems. "SUPRASEC® is a registered trademark of Huntsman Corporation or an affiliate thereof in one or more, but not all, countries." Primers for Polyurea in Refurbishment and Construction Projects Hugo Herault Krypton Chemical Friday, 7 November, 10:30 - 11:00 1999 – 2012: General Manager of Krypton Chemical, specializing in Polyurethane and Polyurea 1992 – 1999: Arco Chemical (afterwards Lyondell), undertaking several assignments in Corporate Planning & Analysis and Sales & Marketing. Krypton Chemical, as a formulator of advanced resins for the construction market has been conducting in depth research into the different resins that are being used as primers for the polyurea market. The use of polyurea has been increasing thanks to their many advantages in construction and refurbishment applications. A very common mistake and a limiting factor to this growth is the use of the wrong primers which results in claims and expensive repairs, or even complete job failures. It is therefore very important to chose the right primer for every substrate and for every situation / final use for the polyurea coating. It is perhaps even more important to know every primer, and to work within its limitations, in order to take the most benefit from every product and to minimize potential problems. Through a scientific approach into this matter, Krypton Chemical has come to some interesting conclusions that will enlighten decisions to be made by project designers and product installers in their future projects. 12 Piotr Dymek Graco Friday, 7 November, 11:30 - 12:00 Business Development Specialist & Central East Europe at HPCF division 8 years at Graco The subject of presentation is roof renovation of multipurpose arena complex in Katowice in Poland.

Activities of trade associations must comply with the relevant competition/antitrust rules. The same basic principles that govern anti-competitive arrangements also apply when trade associations are used to co-ordinate commercial activities. 2. Violations of competition laws carry serious consequences. For example, the starting level for a cartel fine in the European Union (EU) is €20 million per company. This figure can be adjusted depending on the circumstances (up to a maximum of 10% of the annual turnover of the entire group to which that company belongs). Under EU law, it is also expressly provided that trade associations themselves can be made subject to a fine up to 10% of their turnover. 3. Competition/antitrust authorities in the U.S., the EU and elsewhere are focusing increasingly on the activities of trade associations. The suspicion is that such associations are a cover for cartel-like behaviour (e.g., price-fixing, collective discrimination, etc.). 4. International cooperation among antitrust enforcement authorities is also evident. It is no longer uncommon for governments – particularly the U.S., the EU, Canada and Japan – to coordinate simultaneous searches, service of subpoenas, and ‘drop-in’ interviews (‘dawn raids’) to avoid premature disclosure of an investigation and the possible destruction of evidence. 5. As with U.S. antitrust law, it is not necessary for arrangements violating EU competition rules to occur in the territory of the EU. 6. Equally important, competition concerns will also arise where there is no actual effect on competition in the market concerned. The authorities will intervene where they perceive there to be a potential effect, even where that effect is not intended. 7. In general, it should be borne in mind that competition/antitrust rules prohibit arrangements between competitors, which are intended (or have the effect) to achieve aims such as the following: price-fixing: almost any activity, which would allow its members to co-ordinate their pricing policies; market-sharing or customer allocation: activities aimed at dividing the given market concerned into distinct territorial markets or allocating customer groups; collective boycotts: a requirement to deal only with other members or to boycott other firms; information-exchange arrangements: in general, all exchanges of business information (such as pricing policies, costs or sales figures) between competitors, which would allow them to co-ordinate their commercial strategies. 8. In addition, certain types of activity particular to trade associations are subject of specific consideration including: the setting of membership criteria of a trade association, research and development carried out or co-ordinated by a trade association, joint publicity and promotion of the generic products by a trade association, product standardisation, certification and quality measures administered through trade associations. 9. This brief note and the “Dos” and “Don’ts” are intended to give general guidance only with regard to competition/ antitrust laws. Before taking action, particularly regarding any assessment of risk, companies are advised to request specific advice from the relevant legal counsel. 23 ANTI TRUST GUIDELINES Guidelines for PDA Europe Members and Conference Participants on the Application of Anti-Trust / Competition Rules to Trade Association ANTI TRUST GUIDELINES DO UNDERSTAND the purposes and authority of each PDA Europe group or activity in which you participate.
