Submissions for the CPI Polyurethane Innovation Award Are Now Being Accepted
The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) is now accepting applications for the prestigious Polyurethane Innovation Award. This award recognizes companies and individuals who have brought new innovative, life-enhancing products, technologies, and initiatives to the marketplace. The deadline for submitting applications is June 15, 2020.
“Bringing innovative products and technologies to market is no easy feat, as the journey often takes years of thought, determination and perseverance,” said Lee Salamone, Senior Director, CPI. “Then, there are those who go above and beyond to raise the bar, bringing about significant transformation to change the modern world and our everyday lives with improvements to polyurethane chemistry, products or practices. CPI looks forward to recognizing today’s polyurethane industry pioneers whose innovations will create a more sustainable tomorrow.”
All entries for the 2020 Polyurethane Innovation Award are required to represent new innovations that have not been previously submitted for this award. Eligible innovations include finished products, initiatives, training or education programs, or processes and processing equipment that have entered the market, for the first time, between June 16, 2018, and June 15, 2020.
The 2019 Polyurethane Innovation Award was presented to Carbon. The company was honored for its DLSTM Technology, which is utilized in the Riddell SpeedFlex Precision Diamond Football Helmet. Through partnering with Riddell, Carbon was able to use athlete data in the Riddell proprietary database of 5 million head impacts to digitally print a next-gen helmet liner that forms to the athlete’s head, giving the athlete maximum protection.
