Dow technologies bag six 'R&D
100' awards
Six innovative technologies from Dow were recognised with the
prestigious ‘R&D 100’ awards. The awards, given by the R&D
Magazine – and widely recognised as the ‘Oscars of Invention’ – is
designed to identify and celebrate the top 100 revolutionary technologies
introduced during the past year.
The award-winning Dow technologies were:
Aquachill Cool
Coating – a water-based phase change material coating for bedding
materials and other cooling applications that maximises initial and sustained
cooling while providing breathability, optimal durability, adhesion, and
minimal odour.
Dowsil SE 9160 –
a one-part silicone-based adhesive with hybrid curing, which provides water-and
dust-proof reliability and processability for PCB system assemblies.
Ecofast Pure textile
treatment that enables brighter colours on cotton while reducing water, energy,
dye and chemical use in the dyeing process.
Engage PV polyolefin
elastomers – material of choice for photovoltaic encapsulant films with
opportunities for exceptional long-term performance, reliability, and lower
overall energy cost.
Tenter Frame biaxially
oriented polyethylene (TF-BOPE) film – an innovative addition to Dow’s Innate precision
packaging resin family, it provides higher mechanical properties and material
rigidity, along with better optical and printing performance
In addition, Dow’s Vorarad downhole radium
sequestration technology won a special recognition award in the green
technology category. Resin-coated sand using Vorarad technology
improves the environmental and safety profile of hydraulic fracturing.
With six awards, Dow again won more than any other company. This
year marks seven straight years of Dow products appearing on the R&D
100 list.
