“China is a fast-growing and highly competitive market, and for Carbocure 7000 to be recognized by their experts with this award is quite an honor,” said Kalhan. “At Lubrizol, our scientists constantly use imaginative approaches and technologies to formulate solutions that help coatings manufacturers enhance their products’ capabilities. We’re particularly excited about Carbocure 7000 because it works so well, is easy to use and is an environmentally responsible product.
