What's the World’s Most Popular Color?
Given consumer demand for bio-based products, increasing concern about carbon footprints, and initiatives to improve the environmental suitability of everything from buildings to packaging, there’s a strong argument that the world's most popular color is green.
In the chemical industry, going green is now a necessity. Our businesses have taken a variety of steps over the years to stay at the forefront of green trends.
- Our epoxy resin systems are a critical ingredient for the specialty composites that form the fiber-reinforced turbine blades used in wind power generation.
- Over the past three decades, we have been working with wood manufacturers to improve resin technologies and reduce emissions
- Substituting carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy resins for traditional aircraft materials of aluminum and steel reduces weight and increases fuel efficiency.
- Our oilfield business has also been at the forefront of environmental improvements. Their latest innovation, PropTrac H, is a major advance in tracking and optimizing gas flow, replacing radioactive isotopes with a more environmentally-suitable technology.
