Spray Patterns AVA CARIDAD Editorial Director According to The British Market for Aerosol Packaging report from www.euwid-packaging.com, Britishbased suppliers of aluminum aerosol cans reported “incredibly brisk demand” at the end of July. Fillers of personal care products were especially inundated with orders, said the report. This year differs markedly from others in that, so far, there have not been any of the customary seasonal fluctuations and demand has remained brisk and unbroken for months. There seems to be no clear explanation for the strong demand, but respondents appear certain that it is being fuelled by—among other things—developments within the branded products industry, which has been intensifying its promotional drive this year.

Ashland Specialty Ingredients, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc., recently received a Ringier 2015 Coatings Technology Innovation Award for its NatrostoneTM H30 rheology modifier, which tackles the challenges faced by applicators in the fast-growing stone paint market.

Natrostone H30 provides water whitening resistance both in short-drying time condition and low-temperature/high-moisture condition.
