Weather
Moscow in mid-March is still late winter. Daytime highs typically hover between -2 C and +4 C, nights fall to roughly -8 to -3 C, and snow or wet sleet is more common than plain rain. Snow can linger on pavements around the Timiryazevsky district, so bring a warm coat, hat, gloves and waterproof boots for the metro-to-venue walk. These are climatological approximations - check the forecast in the week before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Working language
Russian is the working language at Interlakokraska, and most stand graphics and catalogues are in Russian, sometimes with English. Bring Russian-language product datasheets or an interpreter for technical and contract discussions; many senior staff speak some English but not always technical English.
Greetings and business cards
A handshake at the start and end of a meeting is standard, and exchanging business cards with both hands is appreciated. Have cards printed with your Russian transliteration or a short Russian summary on the reverse if you plan distributor meetings.
Metro etiquette
Moscow metro stations are busy and security-screened. Keep bags off seats, stand to the right on escalators, and let passengers exit before boarding. A Troika card covers metro, bus and tram, and is faster than buying paper tickets at the window.
Garderob and venue routine
Russian venues expect visitors to leave coats and bulky bags at the garderob cloakroom. Keep your passport, badge and business cards with you, and allow a few minutes at peak times for cloakroom queues and bag screening.
Tipping and payments
Tipping is not obligatory but rounding up or leaving about 10 percent is common in restaurants and cafes. Carry some cash in roubles alongside cards; foreign-issued cards may not work in all terminals, so check payment options before you travel.
Dates around the show
8 March, International Women's Day, is a public holiday just before the exhibition week, and the 15-18 March dates fall on a normal Moscow working week. Book restaurants and transfers for the show days in advance as business visitors fill central hotels and venues.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Google Flights captures for 15 March 2027 show limited results on Moscow routes: Frankfurt FRA to SVO via Belgrade with Air Serbia (about 7 hr 40 min) and a VKO option priced around USD 490, and New York JFK to SVO routings of 20 hr or more via Abu Dhabi, Casablanca or Boston. Compare SVO against VKO before booking and confirm current fares on the airline site.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Moscow; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Timiryazev Center: Hostel Red Moscow; Hotel Maroseyka 2/15; Hotel Nikolsky.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Moscow; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Transit searches for the city center to Timiryazev Center route returned no usable itinerary in the captures, so plan on the Moscow metro plus a short bus or taxi leg to the venue. Buy a reloadable Troika-style transit card for metro and surface transport rather than single paper tickets, and allow extra time in the morning peak when exhibition crowds mix with commuters.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Timiryazev Center; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: March 2027
Temperature: Approx. -8 C to +4 C, with daytime highs near 0 C and night lows around -5 C (climatological band for mid-March Moscow - confirm the forecast before travel)
Seasonality: Late-winter seasonality: snow and wet snow are more likely than rain, and snow cover often lingers into late March. Expect a mix of dry cold days and overcast, damp spells, plus lengthening daylight. Pack waterproof boots and a warm coat for the walk between Timiryazevskaya metro and the venue.
Packing: March in Moscow is still cold and changeable, so pack a warm insulated coat, gloves, a hat and waterproof footwear for the walk between transport and the Timiryazev Center halls. Layer clothing for overheated exhibition halls and carry an umbrella or compact rain shell; official March averages were not retrievable in the captures, so check a forecast close to departure.

The show is scheduled for 15-18 March 2027 in Moscow, Russia, at the Timiryazev Center. The venue sits in the Timiryazevsky district of the city's north, reached by metro Line 9 to Timiryazevskaya station followed by a short walk or bus ride.
How do I register as a visitor?
Visitor registration is handled through the organiser site, interlak-expo.ru. Pre-register online before you travel, save the confirmation, and collect your badge at the venue desk on arrival with your passport and business card.
Is Interlakokraska open to trade visitors only?
It is a business-to-business coatings exhibition aimed at manufacturers, formulators, distributors, procurement managers and technical specialists. Expect to state your company and role at registration; consumer visitors are not the target audience.
Which product groups will I find on the show floor?
Exhibits span raw materials (binders, pigments, fillers, solvents, additives), paint and coating production equipment, application systems, laboratory and QC instruments, adhesives and sealants, powder and UV-curable coatings, and environmental and testing services.
Which airports serve Moscow and how do I reach the venue?
Moscow's main gateways are Sheremetyevo (SVO), Domodedovo (DME) and Vnukovo (VKO). Aeroexpress trains connect each airport to a central rail terminal - Belorussky, Paveletsky and Kievsky respectively - and from there the metro plus a short surface leg reaches Timiryazevskaya. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely used; agree the fare or use the app meter.
Do I need a visa to attend Interlakokraska 2027 in Moscow?
Most foreign nationals need a visa to enter Russia, and requirements depend on nationality. Confirm the current rules with the Russian embassy or visa centre before booking, check whether your passport qualifies for Russia's e-visa programme, and ask the organiser about business invitation letters, which visa applications often require.
What is the weather like in Moscow in mid-March?
Mid-March is still late winter: daytime temperatures typically hover around 0 C, nights fall well below freezing, and snow or wet sleet is more likely than rain. Snow can linger on pavements, so pack a warm coat, hat and waterproof boots for the walk from Timiryazevskaya metro.
What language is used at the exhibition?
Russian is the working language of the show, and most exhibitor signage and catalogues are in Russian, sometimes with English. Bring Russian-language product datasheets or an interpreter for technical and contract discussions; many senior staff speak some English.
Can I combine Interlakokraska with other Moscow chemical or industrial events?
Interlakokraska sits within the Russian coatings and chemical-industry calendar, and the organiser sometimes runs related expos at the same venue. Check the interlak-expo.ru programme page and the hall plan before booking meetings to see which companion events overlap your travel dates.
Are there seminars or technical sessions alongside the stands?
The show typically includes a business programme of technical seminars and market talks alongside the exhibition, covering formulation, regulation and coatings markets. Session titles and times are published on the organiser schedule page closer to the March 2027 dates; plan meetings around the published slots.
Glossary
- Binder (resin)
- The film-forming component of a paint or coating - alkyd, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane or polyester - that holds pigment in place and determines adhesion, hardness and chemical resistance. Buyers at Interlakokraska compare binder chemistry against the durability spec of the finished coating.
- Pigment
- Finely divided insoluble particles that give colour and opacity, such as titanium dioxide for white hiding power or iron oxide for reds and yellows. Pigment grade and dispersion quality drive tinting strength and cost per litre of paint.
- Extender / filler
- Minerals such as calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin or mica used to bulk out a formulation, control gloss and reduce cost. Extender selection affects sanding, scrub resistance and settling in the can.
- Dispersion
- The process and the finished state of distributing pigment and filler particles evenly through a liquid binder using dissolvers and bead mills. Poor dispersion shows up as colour streaks, gloss loss and sieving residue.
- VOC (volatile organic compounds)
- Solvent and other volatile fractions released as a coating dries. VOC limits shape formulation choices toward water-borne, high-solids and powder technologies, and are a recurring theme in coatings regulation.
- Powder coating
- A dry finishing process where electrostatically charged powder is sprayed onto a substrate and cured in an oven to form a hard film. It is solvent-free and covered at the show by resin, pigment and application-equipment exhibitors.
- UV-curable coating
- A coating cured in seconds by ultraviolet light rather than heat, used on wood, plastics and packaging. Formulations rely on photoinitiators, acrylate oligomers and precise lamp or LED curing units.
- Titanium dioxide (TiO2)
- The dominant white pigment and a major cost line in decorative and industrial paints. Its grade (rutile or anatase, surface treatment, particle size) determines opacity, gloss and exterior durability.
- Rheology modifier
- An additive - typically a cellulose ether, acrylic thickener or clay - that controls viscosity, sagging, levelling and pigment settling. Wrong choice causes brush marks, spatter or storage settling.
- Defoamer / antifoam
- An additive that breaks foam generated during production and application, especially in water-borne systems. Overdosing can cause craters and poor intercoat adhesion.
- Biocide / in-can preservative
- An additive that protects water-borne paint from bacterial and fungal spoilage in the can and on the dry film. Regulatory pressure on biocide actives is a live formulation issue for producers.
- Adhesion promoter
- A coupling agent, often silane-based, that improves bonding between a coating and difficult substrates such as metal, plastics or concrete. It is critical in industrial and automotive refinish systems.
- Colorimetry / spectrophotometer
- Instrumental colour measurement used to match, batch and release tints. Lab exhibitors at Interlakokraska show spectrophotometers and software for colour tolerance and formula correction.
- Accelerated weathering
- Laboratory testing (QUV, Xenon arc) that simulates sunlight, heat and moisture to predict chalking, gloss loss and colour shift. It supports exterior durability claims for architectural and industrial coatings.
- Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
- The standard hazard and handling document for a chemical product. Russian-language SDS files are expected by distributors and industrial customers for every raw material and finished coating.
- Coil coating
- Continuous coating of steel or aluminium strip before fabrication, used for building panels and appliances. It demands fast-curing resins, precise film thickness and robust line equipment.
