Brussels, – Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE: CYT) will be participating in the upcoming ‘Parquet & Furniture Coatings’ conference organized by Vincentz Network. Bud Equi, Technology Director for the Crosslinker Business Team in the Cytec Coatings Resins Group, will give a presentation entitled ‘High Performance Wood Coatings Without Formaldehyde or Isocyanates’.
