CAS-MI LABORATORIES
LAUNCHES INNOVATION CENTER
CAS-MI Laboratories has opened its CAS-MI Innovation Center, an incubator for new industrial and consumer formulated products, including paints, coatings, plastics, adhesives and more. The scientists at this independent facility can take a new or existing idea and develop formulations all the way through production, creating bench-top batches for testing and scale-up. The Innovation Center staff may also assist with certifications, environmental standards, as well as help manage toll production. An example of CAS-MI’s product development services is Idea Paint, www.ideapaint.com. The CAS-MI Innovation Center helped formulate this start-up’s high-performance dry-erase coating, coordinated supply chain management, toll production and beta testing. The resulting product received top awards at NeoCon 2008, and is currently available through IdeaPaint.com and MDC Wallcoverings.
