The award was presented to the company in Shanghai recently.
The product was developed through the joint efforts of the Dow Chemical Company's R&D centre in Buffalo Grove, IL, USA, and the Dow Shanghai Technology Center in China. It utilises Dow's acrylic emulsion technology with a focus on the balance between product performance and operational convenience while creating sustainability benefits for packaging manufacturers.
"Being recognised by Ringier, one of the most notable trade media organisations in Asia and the Middle-East, is an honour and indicative of the success we aim to achieve with sustainable, water-based technology," said Peter Wong, Asia-Pacific commercial VP for performance plastics.
The company developed the product for applications on both metalised and clear film substrates. It does not require pre-mixing steps, and can be used in a broad range of applications, which enables converters to achieve much improved operational efficiency.
