China International Adhesives & Sealants Expo (ASE CHINA) 2026 will take place from September 15 to 17, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, China. The 29th edition is a specialised international exhibition for adhesives, sealants, bonding materials and related manufacturing technologies. More than 700 exhibitors are expected across over 40,000 square metres of exhibition space, with approximately 20,000 industry professionals attending. The show connects chemical manufacturers, material suppliers, equipment companies and industrial users seeking advanced bonding, sealing and material-integration solutions.
The exhibition covers epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, silicone, hot-melt, water-based and pressure-sensitive adhesives, alongside structural and construction sealants, chemical raw materials and environmentally oriented formulations. Equipment categories include automated dispensing systems, robotic application technologies, coating and laminating machinery, laboratory and testing instruments, packaging solutions and manufacturing equipment. Additional areas address UV/EB materials, thermal-management materials, functional films and specialist tapes, reflecting demand from industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, renewable energy, medical products and advanced manufacturing.
The 2026 technical conference focuses on the transition from material innovation to practical industrial applications. Dedicated sessions explore high-performance resins and bio-based raw materials, electronic chemicals for semiconductor packaging, thermal and conductive adhesives, and bonding technologies for electric vehicles, photovoltaic systems, eVTOL aircraft and rail transportation. Other topics include optical adhesives for consumer electronics, medical tapes, biodegradable materials and AI-assisted adhesive formulation. ASE CHINA is also held alongside the China International Tape & Film Expo, extending the sourcing environment into functional films, coating and converting technologies.
