Huntsman : Textile Effects Wins Top Honors at 2014 ICIS Innovation Awards

SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2014 - The Textile Effects division of Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) has been selected as the overall winner in the 2014 ICIS Innovation Awards for its revolutionary AVITERA® SE dyes, thereby becoming the first recipient of the new award, "Innovation with Best Benefit to Environment or Sustainability." The awards recognize the outstanding contribution of the AVITERA® SE dyes in supporting environmental and economic sustainability for the textile industry.

In a press release announcing the win today, ICIS Innovation Awards praised AVITERA® SE to be "a significant scientific advance, and one that goes a long way to answering the textile industry's sustainability challenge in terms of water, energy and waste reductions."

The panel of judges also expressed the view that "AVITERA® SE has a wide ranging impact and tells a strong positive story to communicate to the public. We need dyes and textiles but have long recognized that there are problems with water use in this sector. This innovation addresses a major issue."

Presented by ICIS, the world's largest petrochemical market information provider, the ICIS Innovation Awards are among the most sought after accolades in the international chemicals sector. ICIS introduced the new "Environment or Sustainability" category to the 11th Awards in 2014 to highlight the important links between these areas and encourage innovation that produces distinct benefits.

Paul Hulme, global president of Huntsman Textile Effects, said, "The global textiles industry is at an inflection point today as environmental and competitive pressures are demanding new approaches. These prestigious ICIS Innovation Awards reaffirm Huntsman Textile Effects' role in helping to lead this change with a focus on innovation that meets real industry need."

Innovation Helps Mill s Meet Sustainability Targets

"The development of our revolutionary AVITERA® SE dyes is a result of our adherence to the three pillars on which Huntsman Textile Effects is built: sustainability, innovation and collaboration," Hulme added. "As a leading supplier of chemicals and dyes, we remain committed to working with our customers and other industry partners to find innovative new solutions that help achieve cost-effective production, improved textile products and minimal environmental impact."
