During the exhibition, HAK Industrial Chemicals displayed various special grades of zinc oxide from its principal, Arabian Zinc Oxide Factory which consistently produces high purity, brightness, refractive index as well as fine particle sizes, through the most efficient method.

They also exhibited LKAB Mineral’s range of high-quality mineral solutions with different functionalities used for a variety of coating applications; in addition to the Potters Europe Hollow Spheres in compositions such as extra-light and strong hollow glass microspheres and extra-hard and fluid-solid glass microspheres, which are functional additives to the paint, coating and ink applications.

Krish Venkatesan, general manager, HAK Industrial Chemicals, said: “This year, we are looking forward to new suppliers in the fields of paints, coatings, and construction chemicals.”

“We have just acquired a new supplier of pigments and we are eager to work with them for new marketing initiatives,” he said.

“For our existing principals, we are always exploring new ways to increase our geographical reach, not just in the UAE and Oman. We are already expanding territorially. Nevertheless, we would like to ensure that we have the right principals for our product portfolio to represent our brand image as a market leader in the region for over 20 years,” he added.

Likewise featured in the show are specialty chemicals and performance materials from Cabot, wide range of organic peroxides and azo compounds from Pergan, and cobalt-free driers, odour elimination additives for water and solvent-based, and water-based specialty polymers from Dura, used for diverse industrial applications.

HAK Industrial Chemicals keeps a stock of most of their products in the UAE and supplies them to the majority of their customers in the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Pakistan.

Venkatesan added: “The show is one of the great platforms to boost our market presence, increase sales and generate leads, and network with the industry’s pioneers, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and key decision makers.”

“We have been actively participating in this event for the last 5 consecutive years and we can see a lot of growth potentials in this sector,” he concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
