CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LiquiGlide Inc. today announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Elmer's Products, Inc. Elmer's will explore LiquiGlide's breakthrough slippery coating technology to create innovative new products.

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) firms, like Elmer's, competing in mature markets have increasingly turned to LiquiGlide as a source of product innovation, differentiation and growth. Fueled by this, LiquiGlide helps brands create better consumer experiences by providing them with environmentally friendly, custom coating solutions that allow sticky liquids to slide effortlessly.
