(PRWEB) October 22, 2014

Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, has announced that its Exolit® OP 560 Flame Retardant has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) as a safer, more environmentally friendly flame retardant for polyurethane (PUR) foam used in furniture upholstery and other consumer products than the traditional formulation, pentabromo diphenylether (pentaBDE).

In addition, the Clariant product meets internationally accepted flammability standards for flexible PUR, said Adrian Beard, Head of Marketing and Advocacy for the Flame Retardants Business Line of the Business Unit Additives.

In a draft Alternatives Assessment report on flame retardants in flexible foam released in June 2014, the US EPA identified the proprietary Clariant formulation, oligomeric phosphonate polyol (OPP), as a safer alternative to materials traditionally used for fire protection of foam. The main applications are flexible polyurethane foams for upholstered furniture and seating in residential, commercial, and transport segments.

The report is part of the EPA’s Design for the Environment program, which helps industries choose safer chemicals, and offers a basis for future decision-making by providing a detailed comparison of the potential public health and environmental impacts of chemical alternatives.

Clariant plans to expand capacity to meet increasing demand in the move toward more environmentally friendly and sustainable PUR foams.

Exolit® OP 560 is a reactive flame retardant that eliminates unwanted emissions since it becomes chemically bonded within the polymeric polyurethane foam structure. As a result, the Exolit OP 560 does not leave foam residue during use. Exolit OP is also halogen-free, and has a more favorable toxicological and environmental profile. In particular, it cannot bioaccumulate in humans and other organisms since it is embedded into the foam.

Additional benefits include aging stability. Further benefits for PUR applications include excellent aging stability, as well as low smoke density and smoke gas corrosivity in case of fire. The phosphonate’s high effectiveness and good compatibility with natural polymers allow it to be used at low dosages in the foam matrix, which also adds to the foam’s excellent sustainability profile.

Natural Foams Technology (formerly Green Urethanes Ltd), the provider of green solutions to the global PU industry, has confirmed that manufacturers can use Exolit OP 560 with its natural oil polyol (NOP) foams to develop low-emission flexible foams that meet internationally accepted flammability standards such as Cal TB 117-1975, California’s open flame flammability test for upholstered furniture, and the updated Cal TB 117-2013, which comes into force in January 2015. With high bio-renewable content, the foams have become the first to be accepted into the USDA’s BioPreferred program, a U.S. federal program to encourage industry to switch to more sustainable materials.

NCFI Polyurethanes, a North Carolina-based manufacturer, has been using the NOP technology in their BioLuxMax line for several years. After running extensive trials with Exolit OP 560, they plan to introduce a commercial product in the fourth quarter 2014.

Additional testing by Clariant and Natural Foams reinforces the EPA’s replacement assessment of Exolit material. Results from these and other independent tests show good flame retardant performance as well as substantial smoke reduction from these foams. A recent study by Dr. Heather Stapleton at Duke University’s Nicholas School for the Environment, Durham, North Carolina, also concluded that Exolit OP 560 is not released from the polyurethane foam.

“Exolit OP 560 is not only halogen-free but becomes an integral part of the PUR foam, creating possibilities to produce flexible foams with locked-in fire protection without the environmental and health concerns of traditional flame retardants,” comments Adrian Beard, Head of Marketing, Flame Retardants, Clariant. “The US EPA report is a step forward in easing the identification of safer alternatives by PRU foam producers and end-users.”

The company demonstrated Exolit OP 560 Flame Retardant at the Composites & Advanced Materials Expo – CAMX 2014 at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida, this month.

Clariant is a globally leading specialty chemicals company, based in Muttenz near Basel/Switzerland. On December 31, 2013 the company employed a total workforce of 18,099. In the financial year 2013, Clariant recorded sales of CHF 6.076 billion for its continuing businesses. The company reports in four business areas: Care Chemicals, Catalysis & Energy, Natural Resources, and Plastics & Coatings. Clariant’s corporate strategy is based on five pillars: increase profitability, reposition portfolio, add value with sustainability, foster innovation and R&D, and intensify growth.

Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) November 10, 2014

When Dr. Donald Alexander founded his Jacksonville dental office, he made a commitment to offer excellence in dental care. Continuing education and advanced dental services are foundations for the local practice.

“Dentistry is constantly evolving. There have been more advances in the field of restorative and cosmetic dentistry in the last 15 years than in the past century,” said Dr. Alexander. “It’s important to me that my team is always striving for excellence and never stops learning.”

There have been two important additions to the Jacksonville family dental practice in 2014.

Dr. Alexander welcomed a new registered dental hygienist, Rim Al Masari. Ms. Masri practiced general dentistry in Damascus, Syria for more than 25 years. She moved to the United States and received her dental hygiene license in the state of Florida in March 2014. In October, she received certification in nitrous oxide psychosedation.

“Our practice will benefit greatly from Ms. Masri’s experience. She has already become a tremendous asset and I look forward to utilizing her talents and expertise,” said Dr. Alexander.

This year, Alexander Dentistry also began offering a new product to patients. The PerioScience Antioxidant Oral Care System has a unique suite of antioxidant-based products. These products are available for sale in Dr. Alexander’s Jacksonville dental office as well as on the practice website, http://www.alexanderdentistry.com.

“I am thrilled to offer this incredible dental health system to our patients,” said Dr. Alexander. “These are world-class products that work in concert with the body’s natural defense system to promote optimal oral health.”

PerioSciences products contain powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation to prevent gum disease, promote saliva production as a natural antibacterial agent and neutralize bad bacteria for fresher breath. In addition, patients can find products that effectively whiten teeth, minimize tooth sensitivity and hydrate dry mouths.

Dr. Alexander also completed a continuing education course on Lasers in Periodontal Treatment in San Diego, California. Taught by Dr. Samuel B. Low, Professor Emeritus at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, the three-day course focused on the use of lasers in the treatment of gum disease.

“We have a great staff,” said Dr. Alexander. “My dental assistant, April Adams, celebrated 30 years of practice in dentistry this year. Passion and education are what keep us on the leading edge of modern dentistry. I’m looking forward to 2015 and continuing to expand our portfolio of services.”

Dr. Alexander is welcoming new patients. He sees both children and adults, offering a complete range of dental services from preventive dentistry to advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry.

Alexander Dentistry is located just outside Jacksonville, Florida in San Jose Forest, at the corner of St. Augustine Road and Caballero Drive. To schedule an appointment, new patients can call 904.372.8157 or visit http://www.alexanderdentistry.com.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 07, 2014

San Francisco cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ben Amini, is now offering a teeth whitening special just in time for patients who want to look their best this holiday season. The special gives patients $ 100 off the regular price of laser teeth whitening, a procedure that quickly reduces or eliminates stains from the surface of teeth without causing discomfort. Valid for November 2014, some restrictions do apply. A recent dental examination and cleaning must be completed. Teeth must have no cavities and the gums must be healthy prior to teeth whitening. Patients who want to receive this offer should visit http://www.citidentonline.com and print the offer page to present at their appointment.

Laser teeth whitening uses EzLase technology, a diode laser made by Biolase, to turn teeth up to nine shades whiter at a single appointment. The advantages of laser teeth whitening include:

    Use of laser energy to accelerate whitening faster than conventional in-office whitening procedeures
    Results that are visible before leaving the office
    Less tendency to cause tooth sensitivity
    Completion in about half the time required for other whitening treatments

After whitening teeth using EzLase, the team RDA of Dr. Ben Amini, San Francisco smile makeover expert, and Associate dentists at CitiDent remove the whitening gel and wash the teeth thoroughly.

Teeth whitening with EzLase works well for several types of superficial stains, including those related to tobacco use and consumption of heavily pigmented foods and drinks. As a common focal point of social interaction, the smile is a powerful target for improvement of appearance and confidence. This is one fast way for patients to rejuvenate their looks in time for the holidays and the New Year. In some cases, patients may benefit from a smile makeover, which is a personalized selection of cosmetic treatments such as laser teeth whitening, veneers and Invisalign.

About Dr. Ben Amini, Expert in Teeth Whitening San Francisco

San Francisco Zoom whitening dentist, Dr. Ben Amini, is a graduate of San Diego State University who earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from University of California, San Francisco, in 1996. Today, Dr. Amini is a respected member of several local, statewide, and national organizations in his profession and a provider of cosmetic and restorative dental care to patients in the San Francisco area. He is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor at University of California, School of Dentistry (UCSF).

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) November 07, 2014

Board-certified plastic surgeon Laura A. Sudarsky will donate her surgical skills in the Medical Missions Program for Healing the Children Florida (HTC), a not-for-profit organization dedicated since 1982 to providing volunteer life altering healthcare to children in need in developing countries.

Dr. Sudarsky, the only female plastic surgeon currently participating in the program, will travel on November 15th from Fort Lauderdale to Guatemala, where much of the population lives in poverty. During a five day stay she is expected to operate on 30 to 40 children at Hospital Nacional De Amatitlan, a government facility founded in 1862. Common procedures include craniofacial conditions, e.g., cleft lip and palate. These birth defects hamper babies during breast feeding and can result in ear infections and speech defects if untreated. Their cause is unknown. Other procedures include reconstructive burn and syndactyly surgeries (where two or more digits are growing together). Many families cook outdoors, and the children suffer burns from the flames. Fabrics are often not flame retardant, and clothes catch on fire.

Dr Sudarsky has been travelling with HTC for 20 years, and has operated on more than 2500 children during her medical missions abroad. She has served as the Director of Plastic Surgery for HTC and as a Team Leader for many years.

“The satisfaction of returning a child back to their parents’ arms after a life altering surgery is indescribable,“ states Sudarsky.

Many children with medical problems in developing nations live out their lives in a severely limited fashion or do not survive. HTC has provided first class medical care to more than 191,572 children in 100 plus countries, including the United States. Donated in-kind services provided by volunteers in 2013 totalled $ 960,375.00.

Fluent in English, French and Spanish, Dr Sudarsky has long been dedicated to “giving back” by working with underserved groups of women and children. She has been recognized by Operation Smile and Healing the Children for her multilingual clinics in impoverished countries, and she is the recipient of multiple humanitarian awards including a Certificate of Special Recognition from the United States Congress. Her travels with HTC have taken her as far as Afghanistan and Bangladesh where she worked with acid burn victims and Colombia during the height of guerilla warfare.    

Dr. Sudarsky had been Chief of Plastic Surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital, New York. For many years she has been involved in research and innovation in the field in breast surgery. A pioneer in transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA), she published a series in the Annals of Plastic Surgery. She taught the procedure to colleagues and continues to develop and refine new techniques. She has presented in national conferences and published in surgery journals. Trained in cosmetic/reconstructive breast surgery, she is also one of a small group of physicians to be board certified in wound care.

Dr. Sudarsky and Dr. Tracey H. Stokes recently announced the opening of ESSE, a joint practice focusing on aesthetic surgery of the face, breast and body, located at 6333 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308; (954) 533-1671. According to some estimates, only one in nine plastic surgeons in the U.S. are women, suggesting that male surgeons handle the vast majority of cosmetic procedures.

South Bend, IN (PRWEB) November 03, 2014

Rick Conner, President of Masonry Cosmetics, Inc., announced today that his firm’s long-awaited system for renewing or changing the color of concrete pavers is now available to the public. “What we’ve done for vertical walls for decades, we are now proud to do for the concrete pavers that are so popular for driveways and patios,” he said.

“Concrete pavers are a great-looking addition to home landscaping, but they tend to lose their color in a short period of time. We believe we’ve solved the problem,” said Conner. The new solution was formally announced to the world at the 2014 Hardscape North America show in Louisville, Kentucky on October 22nd and will also be at the 2015 World of Concrete exposition in Las Vegas, Nevada February 2 thru 6, 2015.

Masonry Cosmetics, Inc., which excited the masonry industry recently with the publication and distribution of “Still the Best,” its unique listing of 50 staining projects that have lasted 10, 15, 20 or more years without fading, peeling or cracking, has been developing and fine tuning this new system for concrete pavers for years. “We are now ready to release our unique DIY system,” said Conner.

Don “Brickman” Foster, Masonry Cosmetics Vice-President, explained further. “Pavers take a beating, but our new stain system bonds well with the surface and will last longer than the original colors applied in the factory.” He added that the system is easy-to-use, dries in a few hours, is inexpensive compared to replacing old pavers and landscaping remains intact. “Most importantly, we can create any one of hundreds of custom colors, so let your imagination run wild,” continues Brickman. MCI recently launched a new website, http://www.RestorePaverColor.com to promote this system.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 03, 2014

Ayla (aylabeauty.com), an online natural skinare boutique and San Francisco-based micro-shop, is introducing a new anti-aging treatment to its portfolio of natural skincare products: 37 Extreme Actives Neck and Décolletage High-Performance Anti-Aging Treatment. Formulated by Dr. Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, New York-based dermatologist, this product is an advanced all-in-one cream that delivers the largest number of actives in one single lotion treatment.

“We are very excited to introduce this new product to our 37 Extreme Actives fans and customers who are looking to expand their natural anti-aging skincare regimen,” stated Dara Kennedy, founder of Ayla. “This state-of-the-art treatment is one of the most powerful, effective anti-aging skincare products that we have come across. It combines non-toxic but potent anti-aging ingredients to produce truly visible results without causing any irritation or breakouts, and it is an ideal replacement for in-office dermatological procedures.”

The neck and décolletage tend to be the most neglected areas in skincare and are typically left out of daily regimens. However, the skin below the jawline is thin, and without extra care, it can age at a much faster rate than the face. These two areas of skin are where one could see signs of aging first, including sun damage, wrinkles, and loose skin. The Neck and Décolletage High-Performance Anti-Aging Treatment features a range of new and important actives to target elasticity and reverse sun damage—issues that are particularly common to the delicate areas of the neck and chest.

“There are a number of in-office procedures available to target aging of the neck and décolletage,” explains Dr. Macrene. “Research has shown that applying a host of anti-aging ingredients topically, twice daily and year-round, can outperform these in-office treatments.”

The Neck and Décolletage High-Performance Anti-Aging Treatment includes new vital ingredients to target elasticity, reduce the appearance of sun damage, and reverse the cosmetic damage caused by sugar and environmental pollutants. A few of the new ingredients include plant-derived DNA repair actives tyrosine, proline, and ATP, that have been shown to decrease UV-induced mutations to the skin by 66%; red algae extract to address the aging effects of telomerase; and palmitoyl hydroxyproline to improve elasticity.

NEW ALBANY, IN (PRWEB) October 30, 2014

Dr. Ronald Receveur, a noted New Albany aesthetic dentistry authority, has written a recent blog post alerting the public that 10 percent of children have what is called “pediatric shark teeth,” meaning that their adult teeth come through before their baby teeth fall out.

In the post, Dr. Receveur tells the story of an 8-year-old boy from England named Zac Brown, whose friends call him “Jaws” because of his double rows of teeth resembling those of sharks.

“It’s not uncommon to see children with one or two adult teeth behind their baby teeth,” Dr. Receveur said. “Removing those teeth and aligning the adult teeth is certainly something we can do at our New Albany cosmetic dental clinic.”

Dr. Receveur also talks about other common causes of youth and adult cosmetic dental procedures in the post.

Dr. Receveur, who practices in New Albany, Ind., across the Ohio River from Louisville, Ky., offers cosmetic dentistry services and general dentistry such as teeth cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns, teeth whitening and veneers.

Dr. Receveur also has vast experience with All on 4 dental implants, All on Six dental implants, mini dental implants, One Day Smile Solution, dental implants in one hour, bone grafting and sinus lifts, all with IV sedation dentistry. He has been restoring implants with prosthetics and complex dentistry for 25 years and surgically placing implants since 2008 at his dental implant clinic.

Dr. Receveur offers a five-year warranty on all cosmetic and prosthetic work.

Dr. Receveur, a New Albany native, has been the family dentist of choice for Southern Indiana and Louisville since 1981.

Dr. Receveur was born with a partial cleft palate that left him with a missing front tooth. As a child he “wore an awful removable partial.” As a teenager, Dr. Receveur received a permanent bridge, but his dentist destroyed one of his healthy, natural teeth in the process. These dental experiences helped drive him to find better dental solutions for his patients.

Dr. Receveur graduated from Indiana University Southeast with honors in chemistry, after which he earned his doctorate in Dental Surgery from the Indiana University School of Dentistry.

Dr. Receveur has attended more than 5,000 hours of postgraduate training and even gone to Portugal to study with the best dentists in the world. He has been awarded numerous advanced certifications in Implant, Sedation, Comprehensive, Restorative and Aesthetic dentistry so he may provide the most current dental techniques to his Louisville and New Albany dental patients.

Dr. Receveur’s associate, Dr. Frederick, graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. He has received additional training in cosmetic dentistry, endodontics (root canals), orthodontics and dental implants at the Midwest Implant Institute, and has completed dental sedation training.

Dr. Frederick was a dental lab technician before receiving his DMD. That gives him unique knowledge in cosmetic dentistry elements like crowns, bridges, veneers and smile design.

Dr. Frederick is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, where he was a member of the men’s soccer team and received his Bachelor of Science in Biology. He graduated high school from St. Xavier in Louisville.
