KRAHN Chemie Benelux BV will start the distribution of the precipitated silica products from PPG for adhesive, sealant, ink and coating applications in Benelux. The agreement extends the existing cooperation between the KRAHN Chemie Group and PPG in Italy, Poland and France.
“The previous cooperation with the KRAHN Group in Italy, Poland, and France convinced us that their sales approach based on close relationships with their customers and deep technical understanding of the products are of high value for us as well as for our customers. We are sure that the extension of this trusting cooperation into the Benelux region is a well-thought-out step,” said Gilles Gressier, PPG EMEA business director, silica products.
Achieve Desired Rheology Properties
The cooperation comprises a range of synthetic amorphous precipitated silica products, including:
-
PPG LO-VEL® - Flatting agents that reduce the gloss of coatings, paints, lacquers, varnishes and inks, while providing lower viscosity and better stir-in capability.
-
PPG HI-SIL® - Thickening agents that help achieve desired rheology properties as well as anti-sag/suspension performance with minimal impact on other system properties.
-
PPG INHIBISIL® - Anti-corrosion pigments that are non-toxic and free of heavy metals.
PPG holds a strong position in the silica market and has a broad range of high-quality precipitated silica products. KRAHN Chemie Group is pleased to expand its portfolio for ink, coating, adhesive and sealant industry with the silica products PPG offers.
