DKSH has entered a distribution agreement with Keyland Polymer UV Materials Spain SLU. DKSH Business Unit Performance Materials has become a partner for Keyland Polymer to grow its presence and market share for its portfolio of resins. The partnership will cover Europe, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand.
UV Curable Resins for Powder Coatings Market
Under the agreement, DKSH will provide distribution for Keyland Polymer’s innovative UV curable resins, with a focus on the powder coatings market. The UV resins are used in powder coatings for metals, plastics, carbon fiber and composites, and are particularly well suited for heat-sensitive applications where process and curing temperatures cannot exceed 130 degrees Celsius.
End users and powder manufacturers are seeking new and innovative products that perform well and meet the growing demand for material safety and finishing systems that reduce impact on the environment and climate. Keyland Polymer’s unique resins cater to that demand and complement DKSH’s broad portfolio of specialty chemicals for powder coatings.
This collaboration will allow powder coatings producers to access a new technology to apply their products in substrates that were not previously accessible to traditional high-temperature curing systems.
Ramon J. Viñas, vice president, global specialty chemicals industry, performance materials, DKSH, commented, "
We are delighted to introduce Keyland Polymer’s innovative UV resins to our large customer base in the powder coatings industry across Europe and five key markets in Asia-Pacific. We also have a clear intention to expand the cooperation to other territories soon where this new technology is capturing a lot of interest.”
