WASHINGTON – The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) is now accepting applications for the annual Polyurethane Innovation Award. This annual industry-wide competition recognizes the most inventive technologies and other advances in the polyurethanes industry. Innovators are encouraged to act quickly and submit their applications before June 17, 2017.
“The discovery of polyurethane chemistry was one of the most important events in the last 60 years,” said Lee Salamone, Senior Director of CPI. “This incredibly versatile substance is critical to countless applications, from the soles of our shoes to the insulation in our houses to the protective coating on our cars’ exterior. The Innovation Award recognizes brilliant achievements in polyurethane chemistry that help push the boundaries of how polyurethane can make our lives better.”
