CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quaker
Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR, "Quaker") has won a 2017
Ringier Technology Innovation Award with its process fluid,
QUAKERCOAT® 801, a high-performance, fast-drying
water-based coating. It was the second time that Quaker has been
awarded this distinction.
Organized by Ringier Trade Media and the magazine "Coatings and
Ink China," the Ringier Technology Innovation Awards–Coating
Industry recognize outstanding innovative products and leading
technologies in the industry. Encouraging companies to invest in
R&D to improve efficiency and achieve sustainable development,
these awards were selected by a committee that included users and
seven experts from the domestic Chinese coating industry.
Due to a series of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emission
environmental policies being instituted by the Chinese government,
more companies are moving to water-based coatings. However, it is
challenging to find a product that can conform to the manufacturing
process while meeting the customers' needs.
Driven by innovation
(https://www.quakerchem.com/our-responsibility/product-impact/rd-and-innovation/),
Quaker developed QUAKERCOAT® 801, a fast-drying
water-based coating that provides permanent protection for diesel
engines and meets the strict criteria of the regulation,
"HK-2537: Technical requirements for environmental labeling
products – Water based coatings". While significantly decreasing
consumption, it satisfies the VOC emissions challenge and offers a
comparatively faster drying time than some other water-based
coatings. QUAKERCOAT® 801 can reduce VOC content
without any special construction requirements, production line
rebuilding, or equipment changes.
