KRAHN Chemie sells eco-friendly binders from Ecoat in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania

As a green polymer manufacturer for the paints and coatings industry, Ecoat produces competitive and high-performance products, ensuring that they are tailored to the needs of the market while at the same time containing as many bio-based or renewable ingredients as possible. The agreement covers a range of partially bio-based alkyd emulsions as well as alkyd urethane dispersions. The SecoiaTM product range consists of bio-based alkyd emulsions, which are used in particular for architectural and wood paints. Aqueous alkyd emulsions, which are mainly applied in environmentally friendly decorative coatings, as well as alkyd-urethane dispersions, which are especially used for decorative wood and metal coatings, are sold under the brand name InokemTM UR.

“After the cooperation with Ecoat in Poland has started very successfully, I am very proud that we can now also offer our customers from other countries in the CEE region the products of a supplier who convinces with outstanding technical capabilities and for whom sustainability is just as important as for the KRAHN Group,” says Magdalena Chudziak, Managing Director of KRAHN Chemie Polska and responsible for the CEE countries.
