Our Founder:
PHILIP W. SHERWOOD Philip Sherwood has over 30 years experience in applications-oriented polymer research and development, having been employed by CAAP Co., Inc., Upjohn Company, and Dow Chemical USA. He is currently president of FSP Research, Inc. Mr. Sherwood has a strong background in coatings and paint technology. At CAAP Co. he developed specialty polyurethane and fluoroelastomer coatings for aerospace applications. At Upjohn, as part of an ongoing program to assess the viability of various novel organic compounds as coatings intermediates and curing agents, he formulated a variety of coating systems, including solvent-borne paints, powder coatings and electrodeposition emulsions. His expansion out of the coatings area came as a result of his experience with aliphatic isocyanates, whereby he was given the task of developing cast and thermoplastic polyurethanes for use as adhesive interlayers in impact-resistant transparency laminates (e.g., aircraft canopies, and security glazings). After the Dow acquisition of Upjohn's Polymer Chemicals Division in 1985, Mr. Sherwood worked on a variety of development projects including reaction injection moldable ("RIM") weatherable polyurethanes from aliphatic isocyanates, internal mold release compounds for RIM systems, and new MDI-based thermoplastic polyurethane products. Mr. Sherwood founded FSP Research, Inc. in 1988 but did not actively pursue its commercial development until his association with Dow Chemical ended in November of 1989 with the shutdown of their North Haven, CT research laboratories. At FSP Research, product development projects on which Mr. Sherwood has worked for various clients include thermoplastic and thermosetting polyurethane elastomers, flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams, and thermosetting epoxy molding powders. He also developed a novel line of maintenance products for the recreational boating market. Since 1994 Mr. Sherwood has been formulating UV-curable coatings, adhesives and sealants for sale by FSP Research, Inc. |
