We are very pleased that our young colleague Phil Patrick Wahl has won this year's "Farbe und Lack Award". We owe this outstanding result to him and his topic of biocide- and VOC-free, non-dusting, flake-shaped polyurethane thickeners. Year after year, it is an extraordinary challenge to prevail against the strong competition of other authors. This year, the topic, the text and the author swung the pendulum in favor of BYK.
