Lubrizol Introduces New Performance Textile Coatings Product Guide

CLEVELAND, April 29, 2014 - The Lubrizol Corporation announces its new Performance Textile Coatings Product Guide designed to help customers understand how its products can be used to create formulations that enable differentiated performance in their own offerings.

 "As a global specialty chemical company, Lubrizol offers solutions that enhance consumers' experience of textiles," states Matt Dudas, global market manager, Lubrizol performance textile coatings group. "Our resin, polymer, additive and formulated solutions improve many functional properties such as durability, flame retardance, abrasion resistance, water repellence, breathability and comfort, while balancing required look and feel characteristics-clarity, gloss/matte, hand, drape, noise dampening, etc.", continues Dudas. "The new product guide will be a valuable tool for customers to explore fresh textile coating formulations."

While the new product guide highlights a diverse product portfolio for textile coatings, additional Lubrizol value stems from decades of dedication, global expertise and collaboration with customers to formulate customized, multi-functional solutions. Whether enhancing current offerings or developing something new, our goal is to help customers achieve a competitive edge that translates to greater profits and market share. Contact Matt Dudas at matthew.dudas@lubrizol.com or Lubrizol at PCGCustomerSupport@lubrizol.com to learn more about opportunities to bring novel coatings solutions to market.
