STLE presentation now available

I just completed my technical presentation at STLE in St. Louis. A number of people requested my slide deck, so it has been posted to Slideshare. I have also included it below.

Taminco 2012 STLE Technical Presentation

Don’t miss STLE in St. Louis

Mike Hakos — Thu, 03 May 2012 14:30:09 +0000

We are excited to be in St. Louis. Mo., next week for the 67th annual meeting of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers. STLE will be held at the Renaissance Grand & America’s Center, May 6 through 10.

Taminco’s Synergex® alkylalkanolamines continue to provide a wide range of enabling benefits to metalworking formulators, and we will be at booth #121 to talk about those benefits. Be sure to stop by!

In addition to significantly boosting performance, Synergex® additives actually extend the life of your metalworking fluids. While some amines fall out of emulsions in hard water, Synergex® won’t. Some additives will leave your system through volatilization. Synergex® alkylalkanolamines will be there for the life of your fluids. Most additives will negatively impact your fluid’s pH stability. Taminco’s Synergex® amine additives provide excellent consistency for the life of your metalworking fluid.

Also, Dr. Mike Gernon will make a technical presentation at STLE on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

You can keep up with Taminco’s STLE activities simply by liking us on Facebook or following us onTwitter.

See you in St. Louis!

Countdown to ACS – See you in Indy!

Kurt Buyse

We are looking forward to seeing you in Indianapolis, just about a month from now, at the American Coatings Show and Conference. The theme for this year’s show is “Pioneering Sustainable Change.” That concept is central to Taminco’s work in coatings additives.

Our amine additive Vantex®-T enables zero-VOC formulations with virtually no odor. We will be showcasing this environmentally friendly additive throughout ACS. But we will also bring Taminco’s message of pioneering sustainable change to beyond the tradeshow floor, using social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and this blog.

Our approach to the American Coatings Show is a digital approach. While we will showcase our excellent products, we will also showcase just how easy it is to connect with us. While just about everyone has a website, very few in our industry make a genuine effort to truly connect with their customers online.

So, while we are sharing information about our amine additives, especially the zero-VOC Vantex®-T, we also will be posting photos to this blog, updating Facebook pages, commenting on Twitter, even video-blogging live from our booth on the tradeshow floor.

With social media tools like Facebook, Twitter and this blog, our efforts will extend well beyond the tradeshow floor, and we will continue to demonstrate Taminco’s commitment to connecting with our customers.

I encourage you to participate, even if you cannot attend ACS this year. Just “like” our Facebook pages for Advantex® and Vantex®-T or follow our Twitter feeds. And of course, check back here for regular updates. And take a few moments to read up on our outstanding coatings products. Click here to learn about Advantex®, or click here to learn about Vantex®-T.

And if you can, please join us in Indianapolis May 8-10 for the American Coatings Show.
