Sealed Air’s Instapak Quick® RT Foam Packaging Receives 2007 Innovation Award

DANBURY, CONN. (Nov. 16, 2007) –Sealed Air Corp. received the American Chemistry Council’s 2007 Polyurethane “Innovation Award” in the Finished Product category for its Instapak Quick® Room Temperature (RT) foam packaging. Awards were given to products demonstrating the most innovative uses of polyurethane.

The American Chemistry Council announced the winners during the closing session of its Polyurethanes Technical Conference in Orlando, Fla. this past September. Awards were given for three categories including; Polyurethane Chemicals, Processing Equipment and Finished Products.

Submissions for the awards were evaluated by a panel of five judges representing a range of polyurethane experience, knowledge and industry associations. The judges chose Sealed Air’s Instapak Quick® RT foam packaging as one of two finalists for the Finished Product category. Finalists were on display during the 2007 Polyurethanes Technical Conference and the winner was chosen by votes from the more than 975 conference attendees, representing more than 40 different countries.

“The purpose of the Polyurethane Innovation Award is to highlight the efforts and foresight of companies and individuals whose visions have brought new products to the marketplace,” said Neeva-Gayle Candelori, director of the American Chemistry Council’s Center for the Polyurethanes Industry.

Instapak Quick® RT foam packaging provides users with a custom-fit protective cushion that is fast, easy-to-use and does not require equipment like traditional Instapak® foam packaging. It dramatically increases the convenience of using Instapak® foam packaging because users can produce protective foam cushions at any location and support multiple packaging areas easily, without the burden of capital investment and installation requirements associated with many packaging systems.
