HS Chem and Nordmann agree on cooperation
The leading chemical distributor Nordmann has entered into a new partnership with the Korean company HS Chem. With immediate effect, Nordmann will distribute additives from the Monoral product range of HS Chem Co., Ltd. for the paints and coatings industry, among others.
The Monoral product range consists of rheological additives based on polyamide waxes and anti-settling additives based on PE waxes for applications in the paint and coatings industry as well as in adhesives and sealants. Nordmann distributes the Momoral product range in Benelux, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. HS Chem's additives are available in liquid, paste and powder form. These additives are used in aqueous, solvent-free and solvent-based systems to create structural viscosity and thixotropy. They ensure very good flow control with good leveling, so that high layer thicknesses can be built up without any problems. Another focus is on PE wax-based additives, which are available in liquid and paste form. They prevent the settling of solid particles such as pigments and fillers and improve the storage stability of the finished products. Some hybrid types for aqueous systems also optimize the orientation of the effect pigments.
Peter Kuchenbrod, Business Manager Coatings & Inks at Nordmann Germany, comments: "The new partnership not only strengthens Nordmann's position in the market, but also offers our customers access to innovative solutions that increase the performance and versatility of their products. We are convinced that this collaboration will be a successful partnership with long-term benefits for both companies, and not least for our customers." Tony Yang, CEO at HS Chem, explains: "We are very pleased to have Nordmann as an internationally experienced and competent partner at our side. Our team is euphoric about the realization of our joint projects. We are focusing on combining the strengths of both companies and utilizing them for the benefit of our customers."
