Dow innovations recognized as "best of the best" by the world's
top senior business executives, academics, and innovation
professionals
Four breakthrough technologies from The Dow Chemical Company
(Dow) were recognized with prestigious Edison Awards on April 11,
2018. Selected from thousands of nominees, the winners were
announced at the annual Edison Awards Gala in New York City.
EA-4600 LV Hot Melt RTV Translucent silicone technology and Dow
Performance Silicones Moldable Optical Silicone each earned silver
Edison Awards. Dow’s EVOLV3D™ Universal Support Material received a
bronze award. A bronze Edison Award also went to Blue4est® with
ROPAQUE™ NT-2900 Hollow Sphere Pigments from Dow and The Koehler
Paper Group. The Edison Awards honor excellence in new product and
service development, marketing, human-centered design, and
innovation.
“Thomas Edison developed the industrial laboratory, focusing
invention on well-defined market needs. It has been called research
with a purpose,” said A.N. Sreeram, senior vice president,
Research & Development, and chief technology officer for Dow.
“Just like Edison, our research is customer focused, solving
customer and societal needs and creating value for our
shareholders. We are pleased to receive this recognition for our
innovations and innovators.”

EA-4600 LV Hot Melt RTV Translucent Silicone Technology –
Silver
Jet dispensing delivers speed and accuracy to address trends
towards increasing miniaturization and high-throughput
manufacturing of consumer electronic devices. This product delivers
a unique combination of reliable, fast processability, primerless
adhesion to a variety of substrates, ingress protection, and a
durable seal.
Dow Performance Silicones Moldable Optical Silicone –
Silver
Moldable optical silicones are a new tool for innovation in the
automotive lighting world with unprecedented design freedom and
photothermal stability. These two part liquid injection moldable
transparent materials provide benefits to optical elements
including reduced weight, cost savings, optical stability and ease
of manufacture.
EVOLV3D™ Universal Support Material – Bronze
The EVOLV3D™ Universal Support Material (USM) is a game changer
for 3D printing. Useful with most common build materials, no longer
must consumers mix-and-match build and support for a good print.
Also, EVOLV3D is water soluble at room temperature and
non-hazardous, making removal and disposal easy.
Blue4est® with ROPAQUE™ NT-2900 Hollow Sphere Pigments –
Bronze
Regulatory and consumer concern over chemical developers, such
as bisphenol A (BPA), is driving a search for replacement
chemicals. Blue4est® with ROPAQUE™ NT-2900 takes a completely
different approach and eliminates the chemical developer entirely.
A layer of opaque polymer spheres effectively hide an underlying
colored layer. Exposure to heat collapses the air-filled polymer
spheres making the colored layer visible.
The Edison Awards namesake, Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), was
an American-born inventor and businessman. Over the course of his
life, Edison received 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’s research and development engine was
responsible for 789 U.S. patents granted in 2017; the ninth
consecutive annual increase and an all-time record high for Dow.
Such patents, based on Dow innovation, help drive patent-advantaged
sales that represent more than 20 percent of Dow’s revenue.
