Shanghai, China — PUdaily confirms that Jochen Schanbacher, Managing Director – Asia Pacific at SIMALFA China, will speak at the 8th Polyurethane Technology International Forum (PTIF 2026), taking place June 22–26, 2026 in Shanghai.
Mr. Schanbacher’s presentation, “Zero-Solvent Future: The Path Toward Emission-Free Bonding in Polyurethane Production,” will focus on next-generation pathways for sustainable PU foam bonding beyond VOC reduction. The session will explore why halogen-free adhesive concepts are increasingly viewed as a global benchmark, and how chlorine-free formulation strategies can help reduce emissions, mitigate fire-related risks, and simplify material systems. The talk will also address technology development roadmaps and what “export-ready” production concepts look like across both Europe and Asia.
With a business administration background from Switzerland and over a decade of professional experience in China, Mr. Schanbacher is widely recognized for implementing eco-friendly adhesive solutions for foam bonding. His work bridges China and Europe, helping manufacturers reduce costs, improve production quality, and strengthen profitability through higher efficiency and reduced waste.
The Polyurethane Technology International Forum (PTIF) is an international conference hosted by PUdaily to promote technological advancement and sustainable development across the global polyurethane industry. PTIF 2026 (the 8th edition) will take place in Shanghai, China, from June 22–27, 2026, and will convene producers, downstream manufacturers, technology providers, and industry stakeholders for technical exchange and collaboration.
PTIF is co-sponsored by the Shanghai Polyurethane Industry Association, the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, and PUdaily, with the Indian Polyurethane Association (IPUA) joining PTIF 2026 as a co-organizer. And sponsored by WudyDex Chemical (Wudi dexin), a leading polyol manufacturer.
