Event overview
Adhesives and Sealants 2027 is a specialised exposition inside Polyurethanex 2027, the 18th international exhibition for polyurethane raw materials, equipment and technologies. It runs 16–18 March 2027 at Crocus Expo in Moscow, in Pavilion 1, Halls 1 and 4.
The section brings adhesive and sealant producers together with formulators, converters, construction suppliers and industrial buyers from Russia and neighbouring markets. Exhibits cover raw materials, hot-melt, polyurethane, epoxy and hybrid systems, dispensing and curing equipment, surface preparation, packaging and quality control.
A free invitation also opens Composite-Expo 2027 and the co-located business programme, including the third scientific-practical polyurethane conference.
TL;DR
Meet raw-material and finished-goods suppliers in one hall, compare polyurethane, epoxy, hot-melt and hybrid systems, and test dispensing and curing equipment before specifying it. The co-located Composite-Expo and conference add composites and formulation know-how without a second trip.
Russia remains a large, under-supplied adhesives and sealants market. A stand here puts a supplier in front of formulators, construction buyers, automotive tier suppliers and distributors who attend Polyurethanex, while the shared ticket brings Composite-Expo traffic into the same halls.

Adhesives and Sealants special section
A dedicated section for adhesive and sealant raw materials, finished systems, application equipment and quality control within Polyurethanex.
SourceImpact
A compact but focused Moscow edition gives buyers access to the polyurethane supply chain and its adhesives and sealants section in one trip. The shared ticket with Composite-Expo widens the material and application audience without adding travel days.
Audience quality
Visitors are predominantly technical and commercial specialists from formulation, construction, automotive, footwear, furniture and distribution. The 2026 release reports that 92% of the combined show audience were industry specialists, so exhibitors can expect qualified conversations rather than consumer traffic.
Exhibitor outcomes
The commercial case rests on concentrated Russian and CIS buyer access and low exhibition costs relative to a European stand. Success depends on pre-booked meetings and Russian-language materials; the show is not a mass-consumer event and a stand alone will not generate volume without follow-up.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Russia's adhesives and sealants demand is being reshaped by import substitution, construction and automotive localisation. With many Western suppliers reduced, domestic formulators and Asian manufacturers are competing for shelf space, making a Moscow meeting point for raw materials, finished systems and application equipment commercially important for buyers across the region.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Import substitution in polyurethane raw materials
Russian formulators continue to qualify domestic and Asian polyols, isocyanates and additives as European supply chains stay constrained.
What it changes: Buyers want second sources and local inventory, which favours suppliers able to offer technical support and consistent quality.
Construction and insulation demand
Housing, infrastructure and thermal-insulation programmes sustain consumption of sealants, foams and construction adhesives.
What it changes: Construction specifiers are a core visitor group, and façade, flooring and insulation systems are natural exhibit categories.
Automation and low-VOC formulation
Dispensing, mixing and curing equipment is moving toward closed-loop control, while formulators reduce solvent content and improve worker safety.
What it changes: Equipment and testing suppliers can demonstrate measurable savings in material waste and cycle time on the show floor.
The Moscow show sits in a dense spring calendar. Composite-Expo shares the halls and ticket; European Coatings Show and the Asian adhesives fairs serve buyers who plan a second sourcing trip.
