China Adhesives & Sealants Expo 2025: Asia’s flagship trade show for adhesives, sealants, tapes and film technologies

China Adhesives & Sealants Expo 2025 (ASE China 2025), co-located with Tape & Film Expo, is Asia's largest and only UFI-certified trade show focused on adhesives, sealants, pressure-sensitive tapes, and functional films. The exhibition will take place from September 17 to 19, 2025, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). Spanning over 40,000 square meters, the event is expected to host more than 600 exhibitors and tens of thousands of professional buyers and visitors from over 30 countries. This exhibition plays a pivotal role in linking upstream and downstream segments of the adhesive industry, including materials, formulations, equipment, and application solutions. Organized by the CCPIT Sub-Council of Chemical Industry and China Adhesives and Tape Industry Association, it is widely recognized as the most authoritative platform for networking, product launching, and sourcing in the adhesives and tape supply chain.

The show covers an extensive range of themes including adhesives (solvent-based, water-based, hot-melt, PUR, UV-cured, and pressure-sensitive types), sealants (silicone, polyurethane, MS polymer), and a broad variety of functional films such as BOPET, BOPP, optical films, protective films, and environmentally friendly materials. Visitors will also find comprehensive showcases of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes used in industries such as electronics, automotive, medical, and construction. Key themes also include raw materials (resins, rubbers, additives, solvents), advanced production technologies (coating, lamination, calendaring, die-cutting), and testing equipment. Special attention is given to green chemistry, low-carbon materials, intelligent packaging solutions, and sustainability trends within the chemical processing and polymer modification industries.

Exhibitors and attendees represent a complete cross-section of the adhesives and sealants ecosystem. Participants include material suppliers, formulation developers, equipment manufacturers, converters, packaging firms, engineers, and purchasing professionals from key downstream sectors such as 3C electronics, automotive assembly, aerospace, household appliances, medical device manufacturing, construction, and packaging. R&D professionals, application engineers, and industry consultants will also take part to explore new market opportunities and technical partnerships. The show acts as a high-value business platform for identifying suppliers, exchanging technical knowledge, and exploring OEM/ODM collaboration opportunities in Asia’s fastest-growing market.

Product categories on display include pressure-sensitive adhesives, thermosetting adhesives, construction-grade sealants, protective and optical films, release liners, barrier films, and packaging substrates. Key equipment includes coating and laminating machines, BOPP/BOPET film stretching lines, laser and rotary cutting machines, roll-to-roll lamination systems, automatic slitters, and inline inspection systems. Exhibitors will also present the latest in testing instruments (for adhesion strength, shear, thermal stability), digital control solutions for film production, and environmentally friendly raw materials such as bio-based resins and non-toxic solvents. The exhibition serves as a key hub for supply chain innovation and production process optimization.

The event will be held at Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), one of Asia’s premier exhibition venues. Located in Pudong District, SNIEC features advanced infrastructure, international logistics access, and is conveniently connected via metro and highways. It offers world-class facilities for hosting large-scale B2B exhibitions and industry summits, attracting global audiences and maintaining strict quality standards.

The exhibition is co-organized by the CCPIT Sub-Council of Chemical Industry (CCPIT CHEM) and the China Adhesives and Tape Industry Association (CATIA) — both prominent institutions in China's chemical trade landscape. Their combined expertise ensures the event delivers high-quality content, trusted industry insights, and valuable matchmaking services for suppliers and buyers across the adhesive and film sectors.
