\"\"San Sebasti\u00e1n hosted the\u00a0III Forum on Challenges and Trends in Surface Treatments<\/a>, a benchmark event that brought together more than 120 professionals at the facilities of\u00a0CIDETEC Surface Engineering<\/a>.
\nThe forum featured an extensive technical program with more than 30 presentations addressing the main regulatory and technological challenges facing the surface treatment industry. A central theme was the strong focus on sustainability, with particular attention to the future of hexavalent chromium, its progressive restriction under\u00a0REACH<\/a>, and substitution strategies, including the development and validation of trivalent chromium-based alternatives.<\/p>\n

\"\"Other key trends discussed included the application of Artificial Intelligence in industry for process optimization and quality control, as well as innovative approaches to advancing towards safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly production models.<\/p>\n

\"\"The event brought together leading companies and organizations such as\u00a0Petronor<\/a>,\u00a0ScottishPower<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Antolin<\/a>, fostering technical exchange and collaboration between industry, technology centers, and other key stakeholders. This diversity of participants encouraged discussion of innovative solutions and the identification of joint development opportunities.
\nAs part of the program, attendees had the opportunity to explore the capabilities of\u00a0CIDETEC Surface Engineering<\/a>\u00a0through a guided visit to its laboratories, pilot plants, and Printed Electronics HUB, reinforcing the event\u2019s applied and technological focus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The III Forum was jointly organized by\u00a0CIDETEC Surface Engineering<\/a>,\u00a0AIAS \u2013 Asociaci\u00f3n de Industrias de Acabados de Superficies<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0CTME \u2013 Fundaci\u00f3n Centro Tecnol\u00f3gico de Miranda de Ebro<\/a>, within the framework of the\u00a0RESINSURF<\/a>\u00a0project, funded by the\u00a0Interreg Sudoe Programme<\/a>. The event also included active participation from project partners such as\u00a0Titania Ensayos y Proyectos Industriales<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Adera-UT2A<\/a>, as well as associated members\u00a0Ramboll<\/a>,\u00a0CHEMPLATE<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0CIFP Don Bosco LHII<\/a>.
\nThis forum reinforces its role as a key platform for trend analysis, knowledge exchange, and innovation in surface treatments in southwestern Europe, particularly in the transition towards more sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
