Lubrizol to launch apparel coatings

04/09/2013
Specialty chemicals company Lubrizol is to showcase its latest footwear and apparel coatings at the US-based Northwest Apparel and Footwear Materials Show, including Estane, Pearlbond, Isoplast, Pearlthane and Pearlthane ECO.

"Our innovation springs from working closely with our customers to understand their needs, which in turn allows us to develop valuable engineered polymer solutions for them. At this year's show we are paying special attention to our pioneering bio-based, microcellular foam, hot melt adhesive and breathable film technologies," said Gert-Jan Nijhuis, global sports and recreation business leader at the US group.

The event will take place in Portland, Oregon, on September 10 and 11.

Lubrizol employs 7,000 in 17 countries, and had $6.1 billion in revenues in 2012.
