Jakarta, Indonesia – SidleyChem successfully participated in the Asia Pacific Coatings Show 2026 (APCS), held from August 26 to 28, 2026, at the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) in Jakarta, Indonesia.

As one of the region’s established events for the coatings industry, the exhibition brought together raw material suppliers, coating manufacturers, distributors, equipment providers, and technical professionals from across the Asia Pacific region. During the three-day event, SidleyChem welcomed industry professionals at Booth E42, presenting its portfolio of coating additives, cellulose ethers, and functional solutions for coatings and related applications.

Exploring Coating Additive Solutions at Booth E42

At the exhibition, SidleyChem showcased a range of functional additives designed to help formulators improve the performance, stability, and application properties of coating systems.

The featured portfolio included Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), CMC, rheology modifiers and thickeners, dispersants, wetting agents, defoamers, coalescing agents, and preservatives.

These additives can play different roles in coating formulations, including viscosity control, rheology modification, pigment and filler dispersion, wetting, foam control, film formation, and formulation stability.

The team also introduced SidleyChem’s broader range of functional additives for construction-related applications, providing solutions for manufacturers working across coatings, adhesives, dry-mix mortar, and other building material systems.

Technical Communication with Customers and Industry Professionals

A key part of SidleyChem’s participation was direct communication with visitors about their formulation requirements and application challenges.

During discussions at the booth, customers and industry professionals shared questions related to rheology control, viscosity adjustment, foam management, dispersion, water retention, storage stability, and overall formulation performance.

SidleyChem’s sales and technical teams discussed suitable additive options based on different formulation requirements and application conditions. These conversations provided an opportunity to exchange technical knowledge while gaining a better understanding of the evolving needs of coating manufacturers in the Asia Pacific market.

Rather than focusing only on individual products, SidleyChem emphasized an application-oriented approach, helping customers evaluate additive selection according to their formulation systems and desired performance.

Strengthening Connections in the Asia Pacific Market

The Asia Pacific Coatings Show 2026 provided SidleyChem with an important opportunity to strengthen relationships with customers and industry partners in the region.

The exhibition also created valuable opportunities to connect with professionals from different parts of the coatings supply chain and explore potential cooperation in coating additives and related chemical solutions.

With a product portfolio covering coating additives, cellulose ethers, concrete admixtures, and dry-mix mortar additives, SidleyChem continues to expand its international business and provide customers with reliable products and technical support for different formulation requirements.

Looking Ahead

SidleyChem sincerely thanks all customers, partners, and industry professionals who visited Booth E42 during Asia Pacific Coatings Show 2026 and took the time to exchange ideas with our team.
