Launch of a technical service platform for paints, coatings and inks industry by SpecialChem
Launch of a technical service platform for paints, coatings and inks industry by SpecialChem at www.specialchem4coatings.com
SpecialChem, the leader in online technical assistance for specialty chemical markets, is glad to announce the opening of a new service platform entirely dedicated to paints, coatings and inks markets at www.specialchem4coatings.com
SpecialChem is combining technical expertise and proprietary services to support product development and innovation in each specific specialty chemicals market. With two running platforms, SpecialChem has proven the efficiency of its services: 25,000 members are using its “plastics additives and colors” platform launched in 2001 and already 10,000 members regularly visit the “adhesives and sealants” platform launched last year.
Now SpecialChem has decided to develop its concept, i.e. combining a network of experts and accurate technical services, to serve paints, coatings and inks industry professionals.
This new platform held at www.specialchem4coatings.com provides a one-stop development resource for coatings formulators, manufacturers, suppliers and distributors.
This is a unique platform where coatings and inks formulators can save time in developing new products and solving their technical problems, as well as have a direct access to latest technical developments and innovations.
“SpecialChem4Coatings is dedicated to help and ease project development in the fields of coatings,” said Bernard Hasson, CEO of SpecialChem. “The loyalty of our existing community and the needs they have already expressed in the area of paints and coatings, have conducted us to build this new expert team and services specifically adapted to the coatings market. Troubleshooting and Innovation Support are combined to enable faster formulation development and optimisation at each step of product development project.”
Avecia Additives, a leading supplier of dispersing agents, is announced as the first industry partner of the coatings and inks service platform. They provide an in-depth overview of their knowledge to formulators within the TechCenter as well as real-time direct technical assistance.
“Avecia is glad to be a pioneer in joining SpecialChem's Coatings and Inks service platform,” said Andrew Grantham, Business Development Manager for Avecia Additives. “The type of service being offered by SpecialChem will provide formulators with direct access to leading raw material supplier's technical experts, gathered together in one forum, and add real value in product marketing and use. SpecialChem's past results in other specialty chemicals markets are a promising pointer to success with this new platform.”
SpecialChem and Avecia Additives are organizing an online Web conference to show the benefits and use of this brand new platform. Bernard Hasson, CEO of SpecialChem and Andrew Grantham, Business Development Manager for Avecia Additives will show the online services, their benefits as well as future developments.
