BYK Team Wins ALTANA Innovation Award 2018 for New Additive Product Line
WESEL, Germany – The specialty chemicals company ALTANA presented the ALTANA Innovation Award to a BYK team for a new additive product line. As an international team of the BYK division, Byungdu Bae, Dr. Marc Eberhardt, Mark Heekeren and Dr. Guillaume Jaunky developed a new family of hydrophilic additives based on advanced technologies and, most notably, brought the flagship BYK®-3560 from the lab to the market.
