2025 18th International Surface Treatment, Electroplating, and Coating Exhibition (Guangzhou)

The SF EXPO has been held multiple times in Guangzhou, alternating annually between Guangzhou and Chongqing since 2014. This exhibition is a professional and rapidly developing event in the surface treatment sector in China. It received UFI certification from the International Exhibition Association in 2012 and passes the rigorous annual review by the organization, demonstrating its international standards in terms of exhibitor diversity and professional caliber.

The 2025 18th International Surface Treatment, Electroplating, and Coating Exhibition is scheduled to take place from June 17 to 19, 2025, at the Guangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center (Pazhou). The exhibition closely aligns with industry development needs and aims to lead innovation in surface treatment technologies and industry upgrades.

This year's exhibition will continue to feature areas such as industrial coatings, powder coatings, smart manufacturing, industrial cleaning, and safety and environmental protection, bringing together industry elites, corporate executives, and technical experts to discuss industry challenges and hot topics. Additionally, extensive advertising and one-on-one audience organization will facilitate visits from surface treatment users in sectors such as electroplating, coating, automotive parts, hardware, plastics, and electronics.

Mechanical surface treatments such as sandblasting, shot peening, polishing, grinding, and rust removal will showcase the latest materials and equipment. Coating products include automotive paints, repair paints, anti-corrosion coatings, non-stick coatings, and more. The exhibition will also cover pre-treatment technologies and electroplating methods, including immersion cleaning, electrocleaning, ion exchange, and electrophoretic coating.

In the vacuum coating section, equipment for physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition, as well as consumables and processing technology, will be presented. The coating industry will demonstrate cathodic electrodeposition equipment and production lines alongside various accessories. Additionally, the exhibition will include control, analysis, and testing elements like thickness measurements, color tests, surface reflectance evaluation, and corrosion testing.

Environmental protection and safety will feature cleaning devices, gas/wastewater treatment solutions, air filtration, and explosion-proof equipment, promoting a green and safe surface treatment industry. Engineering and service consultations will also be available to support the development of smart factories.
