Abstract:
Please attach an abstract on the product, technology or program; approximately 50
words in length.
Description:
Please attach a technical description of the Innovation in polyurethane chemistry, which
is expressly defined as the reaction of an isocyanate with a polyol, approximately 500
words in length, including information about the uniqueness of the innovation, the
long-term viability and impact, and the benefits to the industry and marketplace.
Eligibility
All entries for the 2015 Award are required to represent new innovations that had not

market before March 19, 2014).
Entries pertaining to a polyurethane product or polyurethane manufacture were required
to relate to polyurethane chemistry, which is expressly defined as the reaction of an
isocyanate with a polyol. Innovations in polyurethane chemistry could include finished
products, initiatives, training or education programs, or processes or processing
equipment.
Selection of Finalists
A panel of judges, comprised of experts representing technical disciplines and the
polyurethane supply chain, will evaluate all eligible submissions. Judges will evaluate
and score all entries based on impact on the polyurethanes industry, uniqueness of the
innovation, quality of the science and societal impact. The three submissions with the
highest scores will be selected as finalists for the 2015 Polyurethane Innovation Award.
Voting Process
Voting for the Polyurethane Innovation Award will take place during the Opening
Session of the 2015 Polyurethanes Technical Conference on Monday, October 5. Each
individual conference registrant attending the Opening Session may cast one vote for
one finalist. The finalist with the most votes will receive an additional 20 points to be
added to the judges’ score. The innovation with the highest total score will be deemed
the winner and announced on Wednesday, October 7, 2015, during the Closing Session
of the 2015 Polyurethanes Technical Conference.
