Shanghai - April 25, 2008 ANGUS Chemical Company, (ANGUS) a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), and Dow Biocides, a business group of The Dow Chemical Company, were selected as “Top Ten MNC Suppliers” in the fourth annual Coatings Industry Awards 2007 sponsored by HC360.com’s coatings channel. This marks the fourth time ANGUS and Dow Biocides have been awarded this honor. “ANGUS and Dow Biocides employees are pleased to be recognized as a HC360 ‘Top Ten MNC Supplier’ award. This acknowledgment reflects our business vision and practice of ‘In China, For China’,” said Vincent Zeng, regional commercial manager for Dow Biocides and ANGUS Chemical Company, China. “To demonstrate our commitment to the Chinese market, we offer customers innovative products to solve their unique business challenges. Additionally, the Shanghai customer application center provides access to our global processes and technologies. The dedicated local employees have laid a solid foundation for our long-term development in China thanks to their specialty knowledge of the additives and biocides industries.” AMP-95™ Amino Alcohol from ANGUS is the flagship primary amine in the paint and coatings market and has seen a surge of use in Chinese paint and coatings formulations in the past few years. In past years, the growth rate of sales has exceeded 30 percent. AMP-95 is a multifunctional additive for aqueous architectural paints and helps optimize the formulation by reducing overall costs while ensuring excellent performance with low volatile organic compunds ( VOC). All these attributes can help end-use products meet higher environmental standards such as Blue Angel eco-labeling (based in Germany). Based on unique nitroalkane chemistry, ANGUS continues to focus on innovation to help customers meet higher environmental standards in China. Recently launched, AEPD™ VOX 1000 Amino Alcohol, a primary amine with a similar molecular structure to AMP is proof of that commitment. With proven miltifunctional properties like AMP-95 Amoino Alcohol, AEPD VOX also has a zero-VOC classification and low ordor as part of its key benefits. With a local customer application center in Shangahi, ANGUS is able to provide customers with state-of-the-art laboratory testing and application and product specialsts that can address individual challenges.
