LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Air
Products (NYSE: APD) will highlight its innovative coupling agents
portfolio as Versum Materials™, the new brand name for
Air Products' Materials Technologies business, during the American
Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) Annual Meeting, booth 303, Salt Lake City, Utah, May 1-4.
Coupling agents can play an important role in cleaning
formulations by facilitating the dissolution and dispersion of less
soluble organic elements such as surfactants and salts, enabling
systems to retain clarity, viscosity, and homogeneity. They can
also help improve overall system stability and reduce the risk of
phase separation. Despite providing a measure of "formulation
insurance" to formulators, coupling agents are often misunderstood
and misapplied.
The company's solutions focus on enhancing formulators' cleaning
systems not only by acting as effective coupling agents but also by
boosting overall cleaning performance. In addition to better
cleaning, formulators can achieve a foam profile commensurate with
the needs of their projects.
The coupling agents are based on etheramine chemistry spanning
several Tomamine® Amphoteric products. Several of these products
can provide added benefits such as high alkaline and temperature
stability, enabling formulators to address unique and challenging
cleaning needs.
Technical representatives will be on-hand in the AOCS booth to
talk about how the company's coupling agent portfolio can meet
formulators' needs. An overview of these solutions will also be
provided during the Surfactants & Detergents Division
Networking Reception on Monday, May
2, by Diane Merzbach,
marketing specialist, additives.
Also highlighting the company's product innovation, a
presentation entitled "Move Your Product Innovation Forward with
Tomadol® 902 Surfactant" will be delivered by Arnoldo Fonseca, Americas marketing manager for
I&I cleaning, during the Expo Technology Showcase on
Tuesday, May 3.
In addition, Senior Principal Application Chemist Eric "Rick"
Theiner will be presenting a paper, "Alkylphenol Ethoxylate
Elimination as an Opportunity for Performance Enhancement," during
the New Technologies in Industry session on Wednesday, May 4. His paper will review
alternative approaches to address growing concerns about
nonylphenol ethoxylate use in the institutional and industrial
(I&I) cleaning markets.
The company's range of performance-focused cleaning solutions
includes offerings sold under the Tomadol®, Tomamine®, TomaKleen®,
and Tomadry® brands. AOCS conference attendees are invited learn
more about the complete assortment of solutions and how they can
help power future cleaning formulations by visiting booth #303 or
