Hybrid Coating Technologies Inc (fka HCTI)

The tl;dr version is this:

Both companies have the same end target but different starting materials.

Both are isocyanate free. It would be naive to think that the larger companies wouldn't begin producing greener products, but the market is huge and HCTI will find a place with ease.


I'm a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and they sent me a white paper (topical brochure essentially) in September. It was called "How Industrial Applications in Green Chemistry Are Changing Our World" The entire 20 or so pages focused on the Presidential EPA Award winners. Because of the publication date, this year's winners were not included, and therefore, HCTI was not mentioned. What I found interesting though was how much emphasis and importance people in my field were placing on these awards specifically and the green chemistry direction.

This is going to be great, it's just a matter of timing.
