MOSCOW (MRC) -- Evonik Industries, a leading specialty chemicals manufacturer, has appointed BCD Chemie GmbH as the new distributor for DEGALAN products in coating and ink applications in Switzerland, as per the company's press release.
BCD Chemie GmbH, based in Hamburg (Germany) is the successor of Rohm Schweiz GmbH and will become the exclusive distribution partner for DEGALAN in Switzerland.
DEGALAN products offer convincing benefits in all applications where the main priorities are unsurpassed weather resistance, colorfastness, high brilliance, hardness and scratch resistance.
For decades, BCD Chemie has concentrated on marketing and distribution of industrial and speciality chemicals and is one of the leading suppliers in this segment.
As MRC wrote before, Evonik Industries is paving the way for a new technology whose applications include automotive finishes that are more scratch-resistant than ever before. The specialty chemicals company has developed an industrial-scale method for producing silane-modified binders for automotive finishes. The advantage of these silane-modified binders: silane groups increase crosslinking density, making it possible to create automotive finishes that are flexible yet harder, leading to improved scratch resistance.
Evonik, the creative industrial group from Germany, is one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals. Its activities focus on the key megatrends health, nutrition, resource efficiency and globalization. Evonik benefits specifically from its innovative prowess and integrated technology platforms. Evonik is active in over 100 countries around the world. In fiscal 2013 more than 33,500 employees generated sales of around EUR12.9 billion and an operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) of about EUR2.0 billion.
