WEBINAR: Harnessing the Power of Business Cycle Analysis
In this “Harnessing the Power of Business Cycle Analysis” webinar, we demonstrate the benefits of Business Cycle Analysis in helping companies assess the economy, identify trends, and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Attendees learn about key economic and coatings market indicators, as well as how to track them using the interactive Business Cycle Analysis tool within the Coatings TraQr® platform.
Formulating with Flexibility
More than any single piece of lab equipment, a successful R&D team’s most vital tool is a flexibility mindset. Market demands continue to push developers and formulators to stretch the boundaries of what is achievable. In addition, customers are creative and don’t always evaluate or use products in the way they were originally intended.
WEBINAR: Safety First! Best Practices in Environmental, Health and Safety
“Safety First! Best Practices in Environmental, Health and Safety” is the final webinar in our four-part Operational and Manufacturing Excellence series, in partnership with the American Coatings Association. Topics covered include EPA and OSHA compliance and operation procedures, as well as hazardous waste, air and water emissions, process safety, personal protective equipment, emergency response, hazard communications, and more.
Adhesives and Sealants: Enabling Sustainable Change
Considering the global megatrend that sustainability has become, the adhesive industry had a bit of a head start. After all, natural materials like tree sap were used as the earliest adhesives known to man, and starches have provided renewable options for adhesive formulations in packaging applications for decades. In addition, hot melts have long represented a significant segment of the adhesive industry; as 100% solids materials, they are inherently quite sustainable. The early shift away from solventborne formulations is another significant example.
PFAS: Eliminating the Harmful (and Establishing the Safe) Materials for Critical Applications
Regulatory bodies all over the world are busy discussing PFAS, and—because they are focusing on this topic—they are forcing all producers of PFAS-containing chemical products, as well as manufacturers of articles that incorporate these chemical products, to not only discuss PFAS but to give serious thought to either how to rid their products of PFAS or to why their PFAS-containing products must be protected at all costs.
WEBINAR: Optimizing Supply Chain to Increase the Bottom Line
“Optimizing Supply Chain to Increase the Bottom Line” is the third installment in our four-part webinar series on Operational and Manufacturing Excellence, which we developed in partnership with the American Coatings Association. In this webinar, ChemQuest director Robert Kramer discusses strategies for optimizing in-house vendor management, achieving quality improvement, and improving lead times to customers. Learn about vendor sourcing, logistics, transportation/freight, buyer groups, and more.
