		Recent Developments The Wetter the Better, but without the Foam Air Products developed the EnviroGem™ family of environmentally friendly Gemini-based surfactants. Now all kinds of waterborne products work better, with much less foam in formulation and application. Applications include coatings, inks, adhesives, industrial and institutional cleaners and oil field chemicals.
		Cutting the wait from 28 days to less than 48 hours New waterbased, environmentally friendly Anquamine® 287 epoxy curative is a high-performance primer and sealer for new concrete returning it to service rapidly within 48 hours instead of the traditional 28 days contractors were used to—a big cost benefit for our customers.
		Sitting comfortably . . . safe and sound. Volatile organic chemicals may migrate from polyurethane foam in car upholstery, thereby fogging windshields and staining vinyl. Our nonfugitive polyurethane catalysts chemically bind into the polyurethane foam matrix and can not migrate out.
