Market shifts in energy, technology and sustainability needs continue to drive opportunities for polyurethane chemistry. On April 6-7 at UTECH North America 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina, The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) will showcase how it delivers innovations that meet global and social demands for high-performance polyurethane coatings, home products and insulation.
Dow’s science, technology and material expertise has led to the development of enhanced flexible and rigid foam materials as well as coatings, adhesives and sealants. Dow will discuss how it is ‘Innovating for You’ with new advancements in the following market sectors:
· DurableScience: High performance materials that protect, adhere, seal and last
· ComfortScience: Flexible foam technology for healthy, happy living
· InsulationScience: Rigid foam technology for energy and cost-efficient buildings and appliances
“The global demand for polyurethanes has shifted from serving basic human needs – like protection and comfort – to more complex and even emotional needs – such as convenience, health, energy efficiency and sustainability,” stated Chris Chrisafides, (@CChrisafides) commercial vice president, Dow Polyurethanes. “So we’re bringing our science and technology closer to customers to develop materials for healthier sleep, more resilient infrastructure and more sustainable buildings and appliances.”
Today’s connected marketplace promotes an instant exchange of ideas and continuous innovation. At the conference, Dow will contribute to that exchange with thought leadership and technical expertise through a variety of presentation topics, including:
· Wednesday, April 6 at 10:10 a.m. – Opening Keynote speech, Chris Chrisafides, commercial vice president for Dow Polyurethanes
· Thursday, April 7 at 1:55 p.m. – Reactive Diluents for Achieving High Solids Acrylic Polyurethane Coatings, Christopher Letko, senior chemist for Dow Polyurethanes
· Thursday, April 7 at 2:30 p.m. – Thawing the Challenges Associated with Pure 4,4’ – Methylenediphenyl Diisocyanate, Will Heaner, new product development for Dow Polyurethanes
· Thursday, April 7 at 3:10 p.m. – Improving the Pultrusion Process Through the Use of Polyurethane Chemistry, Kevin Meyer, associate scientist for Dow Polyurethanes
