Dow records more awards than any other
company
The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) announced today that six of
its latest innovations have been named to R&D Magazine’s
prestigious 2015 R&D 100 Awards. Additionally, one new product,
PURNIZETM UltraFiltration Module, received special recognition in
the Green Technology category.
Often referred to as the “Oscars of Innovation,” the annual
R&D 100 Awards event held at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas
celebrates the most significant technology inventions of the past
year. With twenty-one total finalists, Dow was once again
highlighted as a leading innovator, having the greatest number of
finalists and winners of any single developer. A wide range of
solutions were recognized, from more sustainable electronics, to
innovative packaging, to water-efficient appliances, to
infrastructure solutions and breakthroughs that improve safety and
fuel efficiency in motor vehicles.
“Dow’s research teams continue to partner with our customers and
fuel our innovation pipeline,” said A. N. Sreeram, Dow senior vice
president of Research & Development and chief technology
officer. “High-throughput research capabilities, combined with
high-performance computer modeling, accelerate the development of
products that meet and exceed customer needs, allowing us to
consistently deliver differentiated solutions year after year.” In
2014, five of Dow’s products were named R&D 100 award winners,
two more than the previous year.
Each of the seven Dow innovations recognized this year by
R&D 100 was commercialized in the last twelve months and
developed as a market-focused solution, addressing key customer
challenges in a more sustainable way. The 2015 winners include:
- ACRYSOL™ RM-725 Rheology
