I am very pleased to welcome you in the New Year and a new decade with the first-ever issue of a newsletter produced especially for you, our customers and business partners. This newsletter is published by the Business Unit Coatings, Adhesives and Specialties (CAS) of Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) and will focus on product and application news for the coatings and adhesives industry. In line with this, the top story in this first issue looks at the economic and environmental benefits of the innovative polyaspartic binders used in protecting the world’s largest media façade from corrosion. Besides putting you in the picture with news of our latest product highlights, another important feature of this newsletter will be our service for you – useful information and advice on issues of topical interest. However, our main intention in publishing this newsletter is to enter into a regular dialogue with you, our customers. We sincerely hope that you take up our invitation and talk to us about what’s on your mind. Because that is how we can make our products even more useful and relevant to your business.
AdCoTec will be published three or four times a year. The first few issues will be published in both print and electronic form before we concentrate on the electronic version at some later date.
I hope you enjoy your read.
