To support the introduction of the new brand, the company has launched a website, www.AdvancingPossible.com, and is running advertising in industry-focused print and digital platforms including IHS Chemical Week, Plastics News, ICIS Chemical Business and the American Chemistry Council’s SmartBrief.

Advancing Possible is larger than just us. It elevates our unique value proposition and the many ways our products, materials and technologies are helping to advance solutions all over the world. ”
