AC SHOW
First-Time Experience
MEET OUR NEW EXHIBITORS
The American Coatings SHOW is a place where “old hands” and newcomers
meet. While most companies and institutes have attended the show already
several times, there is also a number of first-time exhibitors. Below, some of
them introduce themselves, and explain why they have decided to participate.
“Boron Molecular is a specialist fine
chemicals manufacturing company
which has a strong track record in undertaking technology transfer projects with
companies situated in the United States,
Raft is very broadly applicable to polymers, particularly in the areas of industrial,
personal care, and agriculture and biomedical polymers, where higher order functionality is required. We feel that exhibiting at the American Coatings SHOW will be a
great opportunity to introduce our scalable, low-odor, high-purity, cost-effective RAFT
agents to the coatings industry.”
Ken Sullivan,
Boron Molecular
“We’ve chosen this year’s American
Coatings SHOW as the premier venue
for our commercial launch in North
America: our first renewable solvents
production plant in Little Falls, Minn.
Green Biologics is a UK-based renewable
chemicals company focused on produc-
ing green solvents, including n-butanol
and acetone, along with new zero-VOC,
water-compatible solvents and a range
of specialty esters and derivatives. Our
products conform to strict specifica-
tions, with higher purity (no aldehydes, isobutanol or aromatics). All of our products
will be USDA “Bio-Preferred.”
Green Biologics has three primary goals as an exhibitor: 1) raise brand awareness
for Green Biologics and our technology; 2) network with key players in the North
American coatings market; and 3) generate momentum for our Little Falls, Minn. plant
starting up in late 2016. We believe our product offering of high-purity renewable
chemicals will benefit formulators interested in sustainability and performance in
their finished products.”
“L.V. Lomas has been a supplier to the
coatings market since 1960, but that ex-
posure has primarily been in Canada
alone. In 2014, we began investing in re-
sources to expand our model of technical
excellence in specialty chemical distribu-
tion to the U.S. market. Since the Ameri-
can Coatings SHOW is the premier event
for one of our most important markets,
this provides us with an opportunity to
showcase our capabilities and partnerships with leading suppliers to the coatings market in North America. While we are
certainly not new to the coatings market, we look forward to building on our existing
relationships as we expand our representation into the United States.”
