AerosolSydney highlights the Australian aerosol industry’s best Vaseline Spray & Go Spray Moisturizer June 2014 SPRAY 37 bag while also addressing user ergonomics and facilitating single hand operation. The Award for Innovation—Package Design was won by Dy-Mark for its Revolution Enamel Paint product. Working with the Precision Valve R&D team and Ralpet Plastics, Dy- Mark’s internationally patented cap design provides a visual point of difference for the consumer while offering a range of advanced features, such as an ergonomically designed finger grip to help eliminate hand and finger fatigue; dual trigger points located at the front and top of the cap; a rotatable fan spray insert allowing users to spray at any angle and a lockable trigger to prevent accidental actuation. The Award for Developing New Aerosol Markets went to Unilever for its Vaseline Spray & Go Spray Moisturizer, a new product that took the popular and skin protection brand into the aerosol space, utilizing bag-on-valve technology with compressed air propellant. The product also went on to win the evening’s premiere accolade, the Aerosol Product of the Year Award, which “salutes the ‘stand out’ product which champions the potential and appeal of the aerosol package and thus ‘raises the bar’ for the entire industry.” The judges noted that Vaseline Spray & Go illustrated how continued developments in aerosol technology were introducing new applications, new categories and new consumers to the convenience and functional benefits of the aerosol package. With its recyclable aluminum can produced by Ardagh Group in Taree, Aptar actuator and bag-on-valve (distributed though Salient Asia Pacific), and filling by Pax Australia, the judges also noted that it highlighted team effort and inter-relationships that were key to the continued development and prosperity of the Australian aerosol industry. The judging panel also took the rare step of awarding a Highly Commended Award to Dy-Mark for its Revolution Enamel Paint. Contribution to industry acknowledged Also presented at the Gala was the Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Aerosol Association and Industry, which went to AAF President Lindsay Showyin for his contribution to the development and welfare of the Australian aerosol industry. Showyin joined the Association’s Executive Committee in February 1976, becoming President in 1984, a role he occupied for nearly 30 years. He oversaw a number of important Association and industry initiatives, including the shift from CFC propellants; acceptance of postconsumer aerosols in curbside recycling; the Association’s Award-winning series of television, print and radio commercials; and most recently, its pro-active engagement with aerosol associations throughout the Asian region. Other highlights included the development of the “It’s OK to Spray” campaign in conjunction with New Zealand; the launch of the Aerosol Industry Awards in 1994; and the establishment of the AAF in 2011. He previously had his contribution to the aerosol industry recognized in the 2014 Australia Day Honors, receiving an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for his services to the manufacturing industry and to professional associations.
