Croda International Plc, which creates, manufactures and distributes innovative, sustainable and high-performance specialty chemicals used by industries and consumers around the world, is delighted to have been awarded 'Best Product Innovation' at the 2019 Global ICIS Innovation Awards.
The award was given to the new patented star-shaped polymer that helps develop more stable and effective formulations for many industries. Applications for this non-ionic polymeric surfactant include: stabilization of animal vaccines, friction modification for automotive applications, emulsification in agricultural applications as well as improved performance of oil-in-water emulsion systems in the water treatment industry.
Using smart science, this unique polymer enables Croda's customers to improve lives. It allows them to create products that work more effectively because of the inerrant stability properties it provides during product formulation. The superior performance of this molecule also extends shelf life, enabling the development of complex, stable formulated products while generating less waste, resulting in more sustainable products.
Michael Green, Global Vice President of Research & Technology at Croda said, "We are delighted to receive this recognition of how our smart science is improving lives, especially since this award was given by experts in the surfactant industry. Bringing a brand new molecule to market in multiple highly regulated industries is a challenge and I would like to thank the global team at Croda who worked together to make it happen."
The ICIS Innovation Awards recognize innovation within the chemical industry and honor companies that demonstrate a high level of innovation in their products and processes while providing environmental benefits and advancing the sustainability of their products.
