Evonik, one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals, is participating in the three-day Middle East Coating Show (MECS) opening tomorrow (March 19) at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

“The coatings industry in the Middle East presents great opportunities for Evonik and we show our commitment to the region by regularly participating in MECS in Dubai,” said Peter Reinhard, vice president Middle East, Africa and India for Coating and Adhesive Resins at Evonik.

“MECS remains the only dedicated regional coatings event that gathers producers and distributors with different specialities from across the region,” Reinhard added.

Evonik showcases during the exhibition a number of key solutions; crosslinkers, epoxy curing agents, Degalan coating raw materials, and a large variety of coating additives based on famous brands like Acematt, Aerosil, Surfynol or Tego.

Evonik has been a reliable partner and solution provider in the field of isophorone chemistry for more than 55 years. As the pioneer of isophorone chemistry, Evonik covers all refining stages: isophorone, diamine, as well as di-isocyanate and polyisocyanates.  

Evonik is a market leader in epoxy curing agents and offers a full line of high-quality, performance-oriented products. These solutions are used for a wide variety of applications, including industrial coatings, civil engineering and construction, adhesives and composites.

They enable mechanical strength, durability, chemical resistance and excellent adhesion.

Degalan, on the other hand, is used as a binder in a number of different applications such as marine paints and container coatings, low-odour interior paints, metal coatings, plastics coatings and exterior paints and printing inks. Degalan products are especially effective in applications that require extreme weather resistance, colourfastness and brilliance. – TradeArabia News Service
