John Torgerson, business development manager for Dow Corning's Fluorine Program, said, “Dow Corning has a history of providing innovative solutions to help textile brands compete in the global marketplace."
"Working jointly with DAIKIN enables us to build on our strong silicon chemistry base and extend the range of solutions we can offer not only to textiles but also to the other industries we serve. This is the first of many market-leading developments we expect to come from these great scientists working together.”
The new Unidyne TG-5521 fabric treatment will be sold exclusively by DAIKIN and will be available worldwide. Production is scheduled to begin in early August 2007.
