Products in Brief
NEW DEVELOPMENTS TO BE PRESENTED
˜ Exhibitors will be making short
presentations about their latest products. Speakers will share and explain
all of the performance details and the
underlying technology of the products
to their audiences.
Brief product presentations will be
made in 15-minute segments, during
which the exhibitors will talk about innovations in technical product properties and market trends. For greater
convenience, the presentations will be
grouped by topic. Each presentation will
be followed by a brief discussion among
attendees and speakers. Admission to
these highly informative lectures is free,
with no previous registration required.
An overview of product presentations will
be available on the American Coatings
Show website soon. It will offer visitors
the opportunity to plan their time at the
show in advance and learn about product
developments quickly. After the show, all
the presentations will be made available
to exhibition visitors online.

CREATING TOMORROW’S SOLUTIONS
American Coatings
AWARD
One of the highlights of the American
Coatings CONFERENCE is the American
Coatings AWARD given for the most out-
standing conference paper. This honor
is bestowed by the American Coatings
Association (ACA) and Vincentz Network
(VN). The best paper is selected by the
chairpersons of the conference sessions
and the program committee of the Amer-
ican Coatings CONFERENCE�
THE award will be presented during the
opening ceremony of the American Coat-
ings Conference on May 7 , 2012.
The recipient of this prestigious honor
will receive 2,500 in prize money and a
commemorative sculpture.
A BASF research team won the Award
in 2010 for its groundbreaking work on
improving waterborne anticorrosion
coatings via new binder concepts. Sonja
Schulte of Vincentz Network and Steve
Sides of the American Coatings Association presented the handsome statue
to BASF team members Oihana Elizalde
and Collin Moore. A third team member,
Stephan Amthor, was not in attendance.
“We are thrilled to receive this award,”
said Moore after the ceremony. Let’s see
who the lucky winner will be in 2012!
WORKABILITY. RELIABILITY.
