Global Market Director Christian Velasquez to serve as panelist

MIDLAND, MICH.—The Dow Corning Corporation Pressure Sensitive Industry team will exhibit at the Global Release Liner Industry Conference from March 31 to April 1, 2011, at the Hyatt Rosemont near Chicago.

The event will focus on current issues, opportunities and developments in the ever-changing and challenging release liner industry. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to network, educate, discuss, debate and share valuable information.

“This is a great event that brings the key leaders of the release liner industry together,” said Christian Velasquez, Dow Corning’s global market director for the Pressure Sensitive Industry. “We’re excited to share our industry knowledge, sustainability efforts and specific silicone offerings designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers, including additions to the Dow Corning^® Advantage Series product line.”

Velasquez will join other industry supplier experts as a panelist during the Silicone & Release Coating Session on Friday, April 1, from 9:10 to 10 a.m. The session will focus on key industry issues, including developments, trends, challenges and sustainability; time also will be dedicated to questions from attendees.

Key products showcased by Dow Corning will include Syl-Off^® Advantage Series—a unique group of low-platinum, solventless silicone release products with the proven ability to enhance line speed and improve coating performance. Due to its lower platinum content, the Syl-Off^® Advantage Series system can reduce platinum costs by up to 15 percent, as well as exposure to unpredictable swings in platinum metal prices, in many applications.
