2000 Cardolite M. T. Harvey Award Winner – Robert A. Gardiner
In 1975 while working as a chemist for 3M, Dr. Gardiner invented the epoxy curing agent technology based on CNSL currently called phenalkamines. Dr. Gardiner, in fact, coined the name “phenalkamine.” His benchmark product, NC-541 and its derivatives and copies, are the largest phenalkamine in use today.
