'Green Chemistry' is major focus of ICE 2006 programs.


As protection of the environment and corporate sustainability efforts become increasingly important, the adoption of "green chemistry" approaches by the coatings industry will be critical for continued success. Focusing on the theme of "Green Chemistry--Global Ingenuity," ICE 2006 will highlight initiatives taken by the industry to design products and processes that help minimize environmental impact while maximizing profitability.

Two programs in particular will help attendees to better understand the "green approach." On Tuesday, October 31, the FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology
FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal
 will offer a one-day short course entitled "Nature's Best: Greener and Eco-friendly Raw Materials." In addition, presentations focusing on Green Chemistry will be offered as a separate track at the FSCT's technical conference, FutureCoat! These presentations will be held on November 1-3.

Nature's Best: Greener and Eco-friendly Raw Materials

This short course will detail the various strategies and technologies developed by raw material suppliers to respond to increasingly stringent environmental regulations without being detrimental to high performance products. Raw materials from natural resources will be discussed along with greener technologies and chemistries currently available to the coating industry. A regulatory update will also be presented.

Preliminary Short Course Program

"Green Chemistry: Overview for the Coatings Industry" -- Jennifer Young, Green Chemistry Institute

"Additives in Today's Environment" -- Kenneth Breindel, Cognis Corporation
