Shigeo Wada, Senior Managing Director, Den-on Instruments Co., Ltd.

Even with a new COVID variant circulating as I write this, I remain hopeful that vaccines allow us all to return to a familiar state of normal. Novagard, while innovative, is still old school in some ways. We prefer face-to-face meetings, sitting down with customers to discover their unique challenges, and finding solutions that fit their situation.

That's why we jumped at the opportunity to be the gold sponsor at the inaugural Silicone Expo this June in Detroit. An entire expo dedicated to the silicone industry? We're in! I'm honored to be on their advisory board and am looking forward to working alongside friends and industry leaders to help make this the silicone event.

In a world increasingly focused on the electrification of everything, we're excited about the role silicone will play. And I'm proud of our broad line of innovative, UV/dual cure silicones. With over 25 UV cure silicones, Novagard is the only manufacturer with four UV/dual cure alkoxy silicones certified to IPC-CC-830C, with UL 746E certification expected Q1.

Please stop by booth 421 at Silicone Expo and learn how Novagard can be your silicone innovation partner with our full line of electronics-grade silicones.
