ANGUS Chemical Company and Dow Biocides Introduce New Leadership for Paint and Coatings

New Orleans, LA - November 01, 2006

ANGUS Chemical Company (‘ANGUS’), a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, and Dow Biocides, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, recently executed a number of staffing changes to align their business growth strategies with direct market and customer focus. For the paints and coatings segment, Liam Doherty was named global marketing manager, responsible for the long-term strategic development of products in this market, for both ANGUS and Dow Biocides businesses, in addition to his role as global marketing manager for the ANGUS business.

“Paint and coatings is a key focus area for both the ANGUS and Dow Biocides businesses,” Doherty said. “Our goal is to continue to strengthen our present efforts to serve our customers with quality products, technologies and expertise that will keep them on the cutting edge in their respective industries.”

Under Doherty’s leadership, the ANGUS business is focusing its paint and coatings marketing efforts on AMP-95TM dispersant (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol), the business’ flagship molecule for paints and coatings. AMP-95 is a multifunctional additive that can bring a variety of performance-enhancing benefits including co-dispersion, enhanced film performance and reduced in-can corrosion. ANGUS completed a multi-million dollar capacity expansion project for AMP-95 at its Sterlington, Louisiana, USA, production facility in 2005 and has most recently started manufacturing in Ibbenburen, Germany, to offer strategic supply options to customers around the world.

For Dow Biocides, Doherty’s efforts will focus on helping customers solve their microbial challenges in the in-can preservation, dry film preservation, and industrial hygiene areas utilizing their superior laboratory capabilities and regulatory expertise.

Following the introduction of CANGUARD™ BIT and CANGUARD™ CMIT preservatives to its portfolio in 2006, Dow Biocides has recently introduced two new products to its portfolio: CANGUARD™ Ultra BIT and FILMGUARD™ OIT preservatives. Initially introduced into the Chinese market, FILMGUARD OIT, a dry-film preservative, and CANGUARD Ultra BIT, a high-purity in-can preservative, will be introduced in other geographic regions as regulatory approvals are received.

“Helping customers optimize their formulations to save valuable time and money is a key focus of both the ANGUS and Dow Biocides businesses,” Doherty said. “Whether it’s through multifunctional additives from ANGUS or through our industry-leading product portfolio, proprietary TAUNOVATE^sm high-throughput testing technology and biocide combination capabilities at Dow Biocides, we understand our customers’ need to get the best results for their formulations, with the most efficient financial investment.”
