Dow Coating Materials Presents Novel Surfactants to Address Environmental Regulations
HORGEN, Switzerland-(Business Wire)-September 11, 2009 - Dow Coating Materials, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company dedicated to innovation in the paint and coatings industry, presented a paper entitled “Next-Generation Surfactants for Environmental Regulations in Architectural Applications” at the 19th Annual SLF Congress in Sandefjord, Norway, from 7-8 September 2009.
The paper was presented by Dr. Luis Madrigal and highlighted the development of novel surfactants allowing coating formulators to more easily comply with existing and upcoming EU environmental regulations. It describes Dow’s development of a new surfactant exhibiting equivalent or better dispersing properties than traditional APE based products. The paper also demonstrated how the use of high through-put formulation and testing allows the exploration of a wide formulation space for the evaluation of new additives for coatings.
The SLF Congress is organized by the SLF (Federation of Scandinavian Paint and Varnish Technologies) and NMLF (Norsk Maling- og Lakkteknisk Forening) - Norwegian Society for Paint and Varnish Technology.
