Paintistanbul Istanbul

Paintistanbul in Istanbul is an international trade fair for the paints, coatings and related industries. It covers the entire industry value chain, from raw materials and production and application technologies to testing methods and finished coating solutions. Held every two years at the İstanbul Fair Center (İstanbul Fuar Merkezi) in the Yeşilköy district, the event is organised by CNG Expo in cooperation with the Paint Industrialists Association (BOSAD), Türkiye’s paint industry association.

Paintistanbul focuses on paints, varnishes and industrial coatings, together with the raw materials required for their production, including binders, resins, pigments, fillers and additives. The exhibition also covers printing inks and their raw materials, components for adhesives and sealants, construction chemicals, insulation materials, and technologies for the application and processing of coatings. The range is further complemented by machinery and production equipment, mixing and process technology, laboratory equipment, and testing and measurement systems for research, development and quality control. Other key topics include environmental protection and occupational safety, sustainable production processes, innovative materials and the latest technological developments in the paints and chemicals industries. The fair is aimed particularly at manufacturers of paints, varnishes and coatings, chemical and raw material companies, machinery and plant manufacturers, suppliers of laboratory and testing equipment, and companies operating in the construction chemicals, adhesives, printing inks and insulation sectors.
