BYK received the “Innovation Company of the Year” award in Shanghai in recognition of the company’s commitment to differentiated and pioneering solutions. This is the second time that BYK has received this prestigious distinction since 2017.
In addition, BYK’s new-style non-dusting associative thickeners RHEOBYK- 7650, RHEOBYK-7670, and RHEOBYK-7690 stood out, winning the “Technology Innovation Award” for their excellent product properties covering the entire shear range and for being environmentally friendly.
The world is changing rapidly. This also applies in particular in the coatings market, with the shift from solvent-based to water-based coatings as a result of the long-term trend towards greener products. More than 50 percent of BYK’s research and development activities focus on additives that help customers formulate environmentally friendly products.
