Rohm and Haas Company, a spe- cialty chemicals manufacturer, was one of four companies present- ed with the Presidential Green

Chemistry Challenge Award at an awards ceremony in Washington,

D.C. on July 11. Rohm and Haas was recognized for its development of Sea-Nine 211 marine antifoulant, which uses isothia- zolone chemistry as a more envi- ronmentally acceptable ingredient in marine paints.

The Green Chemistry Challange

Award was established by an alliance of the chemical industry and the Clinton Administration to recognize and promote fundamen- tal breakthroughs in chemistry that accomplish pollution preven- tion through source reduction.

In March of this year, Rohm and

Haas announced the opening of a new manufacturing facility in

Bayport, Texas, dedicated to the production of the company's isoth- iazolone biocides and antifoulant products.

Euronavy International, an ISO 9002 company that has produced quality paints for over 13 years, has introduced a new product,

Euro-basic ES301. Euro-basic

ES301 is a two pack composite epoxy coating that can be applied on wet and rusty surfaces in 100 percent humid conditions, with no dew point restrictions. This epoxy coating has epoxy composite, allowing it to reach steel surfaces by removing water molecules from the surface. Being moisture com- patible, Euro-basic ES301 allows

High water blasting surface prepa- ration. Euro-basic ES301's formu- lation creates a strong chemical and mechanical bond between the coating and the substrate, allowing adhesion to wet and rusty surfaces possible. Euro-basic ES301 is a solvent free coating of 100% vol- ume solids that complies with VOC regulations, so the abscence of harmful solvents makes it easier and safer to apply.
