Dow Building and Construction, a business group of The Dow
Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW), was honored at the 2016 Edison Awards
in the Energy and Sustainability category with a gold for their
LIQUIDARMOR™ CM Flashing and Sealant.
“Innovation is the lifeblood of our company and a vital pillar
in our growth strategy,” said A.N. Sreeram, senior vice president
and chief technology officer for Dow. “This Edison Award is
evidence that our world-class team of scientists and engineers
around the world continue to fuel our innovation pipeline with
solutions like LIQUIDARMOR CM Flashing and Sealant – bringing
sustainable and high performing solutions that meet customer
needs.”
Dow’s LIQUIDARMOR CM Flashing and Sealant is a time-saving
alternative to flashing tape that can be either spray or brush
applied and serves as both joint sealant and window flashing in
Dow’s Commercial Wall Systems – increasing productivity for
builders while protecting the high-performance building
envelope.
Selected from hundreds of finalists, the winners were announced
April 21 during the black-tie Edison Awards Gala at The Capitale in
New York City, New York. The Edison Awards are the culmination of
an annual, international competition designed to honor excellence
in new product and service development, marketing, human-centered
design and innovation.
“This award is an example of Dow’s commitment to be an
innovative leader in the Construction industry and represents a win
for its entire Building and Construction Portfolio,” said Jane
Palmieri, business president, Dow Building & Construction.
“LIQUIDARMOR is the result of tremendous collaboration by our
Construction Chemicals and Building Solutions businesses, combining
the right chemistry with the right channel to market, resulting in
a high performance, time-saving solution for our customers.”
The Edison Awards namesake, Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), was
an American-born inventor and businessman. Over the course of his
life, Edison was awarded a staggering 1,093 U.S. patents for
market-disrupting technologies such as the electric light bulb and
phonograph.
Dow shares in Edison’s passion for ingenuity and patent
productivity; the Company was recently named for the fifth
consecutive year to the Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global Innovators
list, which recognizes corporations and institutions around the
world that are at the heart of innovation, as measured by a series
of proprietary patent-related metrics.
Dow’s research and development engine was responsible for 667
U.S. patents granted in 2015 which is the seventh year-over-year
increase and a new record for the Company.
