What if your wood, industrial and architectural coatings could do more? Connect with us next week at #ECS2025, and let's talk about it. Our team will be at stand #326 in Hall 3, and we've got two must-see sessions lined up on the product presentations stage: 👉 March 25 | 10:30 AM – Dr. Alexander Kröger dives into the benefits of colloidal silica for architectural paints. 👉 March 27 | 12:10 PM – Dr. Michael Bulanov breaks down RadCure matting solutions for achieving gloss control and clarity. We can’t wait to see you there. Stop by our booth or schedule a meeting here: https://lnkd.in/dcGhdyUW #Coatings #ArchitecturalPaints #UVCoatings #MaterialsScience

Reactor downtime cutting into your polypropylene production? Polypropylene producers may experience reactor operability issues due to fouling and fines, which result in reactor downtime. CONSISTA® donor technology can prevent fouling and fines, by producing uniform resin particles that translate to smoother operations that maintain quality and efficiency. Swipe through our carousel to get a more in-depth look at how our CONSISTA® donor technology make smooth operations using UNIPOL® PP process technology: https://lnkd.in/dKDVZHNR #Polypropylene #Manufacturing #Catalysts

The average drug development timeline is still 10+ years. But, with the advancement and application of AI and ML, we could see a material impact on the time it takes to get a new drug to market in the future. In The Multifaceted Future of Pharma series from The Medicine Maker, Robert Hughes, Research Fellow at Grace, explores the different ways AI-driven advancements could accelerate the approval timeline.

A new chapter begins for our Manufacturing Leadership Program (MLP) participants! 🎓 Last month, we kicked off their 2025 journey by welcoming all 27 MLP participants to our Columbia headquarters for a three-day summit filled with hands-on learning and career development. They heard from Grace leaders, tackled real-world challenges in interactive sessions, and even toured our Curtis Bay, Maryland site. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event a success—our speakers, organizers, and most importantly, the participants. We can't wait to see how they grow throughout the program! If you’re interested in joining our 2026 cohort, applications will open in the fall. You can learn more here: https://lnkd.in/edD4nAaS #CareerDevelopment #Leadership #Manufacturing

The European Food Safety Authority has reaffirmed that synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) poses no safety concerns as a food additive. For those of us in the industry, this isn’t surprising, but it is hugely validating. SAS has been used for decades to keep powdered and granular foods flowing smoothly and to prevent clumping. Now, with the backing of the EFSA—one of the most important global standards for scientific advice—food manufacturers can continue using SAS with confidence, knowing it meets the highest safety and regulatory standards. Read our blog for more on the implications of the EFSA’s opinion: https://lnkd.in/dhJy58gY #FoodSafety #EFSA

The right matting agent helps formulators achieve a natural wood look. But, traditional options can reduce chemical resistance and durability, leading to coatings that look great initially but don’t hold up over time. SYLOID® AQ silica helps coating formulators realize a low-gloss finish in waterborne wood coatings, without compromising on performance. It helps keep surfaces resistant to scratches, scuffs, and wear over time, ensuring coatings last longer and look better. We’ll be showcasing SYLOID® AQ silica at the European Coatings Show, March 25–27. Come meet our team, and let’s chat!
