Dow Corning Offers Presentation On Silicone Release At DecTec 05 Asia

MIDLAND, MI - Dow Corning Corporation, a leading supplier of silicone products for the pressure sensitive industry, will offer a presentation entitled "Cost Reduction Efforts for Pressure Sensitive Constructions as Related to Silicone Release" at the AWA DecTec 05 Label & Labeling Technology Conference Asia.

Presenting will be Jenny Geng, marketing manager for Dow Corning Paper and Process Industries, Asia. The presentation is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, 3:45 p.m.-4:15 p.m. Her talk will focus on the role of silicone in pressure sensitive products and trends in the market related to cost optimization, including:

  • Processing
  • Raw materials
  • Chemistry
  • Quality & supply chain

"One of the key challenges facing silicone producers is helping customers gain share versus other decorative methods like direct printing shrink sleeves and wrap-arounds," said Geng. "Dow Corning responds to this need by developing and strengthening strategic cooperation with customers and co-suppliers that helps drive down total production costs and encourage continued innovation."

Geng has been with Dow Corning since 2003 and holds a bachelor's degree in environmental science from East China Normal University. She has worked in different areas of the pressure sensitive industry during her career, including sales and marketing for hot melt and water-based adhesives at Ato Findley.

DecTec 05 Asia, which is being held in conjunction with China Label Exhibition, will take place in Guangzhou, China, July 14-15, 2005. The conference will provide a market overview and information on opportunities and technology for label producers, material suppliers and all companies involved in the product decoration and identification market.
