Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.

xenon difluoride
This company has added xenon difluoride (XeF2) to its portfolio of electronic materials. When used as an etching gas, primarily in the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) market, XeF2 provides manufacturers with a high selectivity to silicon compared with SiO2 and other materials. The company says it is uniquely positioned to serve the burgeoning XeF2 market due, in part, to its access to a stable, low-cost supply of xenon, resulting from its many large-scale air-separation units and XeCovery xenon-recovery system.

Carbowet 106 and 109 surfactants for waterborne architectural and industrial coatings
  Carbowet 106 and 109 surfactants for waterborne architectural and industrial coatings are drop-in replacements for wetting agents that contain alkylphenol ethoxylates (APE) or nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE), which are persistent in the environment and suspected of being endocrine disrupters. Biodegradable, these surfactants are multifunctional, low-foaming, solvent-free additives for pigment and substrate wetting. They are clear, low-odor, low-viscosity liquids that are 100% active and easy to use. Carbowet 106 and 109 surfactants differ in their degree of water solubility, and, because they are free of phenolics, they are environmentally preferable to APE and NPE
