The monthly roundup from Editor Teresa McPherson.
While there may still be snow
on the ground as I write this, Spring is in the air. With the changing of
seasons and warmer weather on the horizon comes a fresh new beginning. We’re
starting the new season off with a variety of great new editorial.
This month marks the debut of a new feature from Bayer MaterialScience, “Q&A
About Polyurethane.” Dr. Jeffrey F. Dormish, Technical manager, Business
Development Group, Bayer MaterialScience LLC, and his team of experts will answer
questions from readers and help improve green strength and heat resistance, or
adjust the reactivity of an adhesive, as well as provide solutions to improve
the tensile strength, elongation, and UV stability of a sealant. Questions
regarding contact bonding and laminating with polychloroprene can be addressed
as well.
Dormish is responsible for the development of new adhesive and sealant
applications, and leads the Aromatic Prepolymer Technology Platform Group at
Bayer.

This issue’s focus on construction brings two interesting features: In “Protecting
Building Aesthetics,” learn how to mitigate some of the most common aesthetic issues
in construction. In “Guggenheim Restoration Uses MAPEI Products,” read about
how MAPEI, a leading producer of concrete restoration products, was involved in
the restoration of the exterior of the world-renowned Solomon
R. Guggenheim
Museum in New York City, which was designed by
legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
