The newly-signed distribution partnership between Safic-Alcan and Carbon Waters will boost European anticorrosion coating formulations thanks to graphene dispersions.
Safic-Alcan has recently announced a distribution partnership with Carbon Waters, a French-based start-up specialising in sustainable additives, in order to supply graphene dispersions and Graph’Up Oxi in Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and Ireland.
“We are excited to partner with Carbon Waters. Their graphene dispersion technology perfectly complements our environmentally responsible product range and reinforces our ability to offer state-of-the-art anticorrosion solutions to customers in the region. Graph’Up Oxi is a significant advancement in protective coatings, enabling paint manufacturers to meet the increasing demand for coatings that stand the test of time in tough conditions,” has stated Jean-Marie Schmuck, Business Development Director for C.A.S.E. and Industrial Specialties at Safic-Alcan.
The addition of the Graph'Up Oxi products to the portfolio of Safic-Alcan strengthens its commitment to sustainable and high-performance solutions. In fact, the graphene-based dispersions are suitable for solvent and water-based anticorrosion coatings, providing good corrosion protection, mechanical strength, electrical conductivity and barrier properties. Moreover, these solutions are ideal for industrial applications demanding long-lasting durability in harsh environments.
“We are delighted with this partnership, which will enable us to pursue the commercial development of Graph'Up Oxi on new key markets in Europe thanks to the expertise and know-how of the Safic Alcan teams in the distribution and marketing of high added-value additives,” has concluded Nicolas Castet, the Chief Operating Officer of Carbon Waters.
