(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CLEVELAND, June 16, 2015 - The Lubrizol Corporation's Performance Coatings
business announces an expansion at one of its European Formulations &
Applications Centers of Excellence in Blackley, UK. In addition to a
formulations and applications technical team, the Blackley facility also
comprises research and development of hyperdispersants and is a central location
for all European and emerging markets commercial activities. The facility is
dedicated to synthesizing, formulating and testing dispersant technologies for
diverse coatings and explores unique solutions for resins, binders and surface
modification.
"Essentially, we have increased our lab footprint by 50% for our formulations
and applications," comments Lee Young, Lubrizol global formulations and
applications manager. "This allows us to continue building on the technical
capabilities that our customers count on from us - which includes the
development and formulation of coatings solutions that bring differentiated
performance to meet our customers' wide-ranging requirements."
Continued Lubrizol investments in global Centers of Excellence ensure the
ability for highly skilled technical experts to collaborate in labs with modern
equipment to efficiently deliver advanced coating technologies to customers.
"Reducing our response time to customers is also a key business goal," continues
Young. "When we can bring the right, differentiated products to customers and
meet their time requirements in the process, through the effective collaboration
of our technical experts, then we are a critical part of their success and
profitability."
At the Blackley Center of Excellence, technical experts, technical product
managers, sales and marketing teams, as well as senior business managers are all
available to address customer needs with leading-edge solutions from Lubrizol's
Solsperse(TM) and Solplus(TM) polymeric dispersant, Carboset(®), Hycar(®) and
