Akcros extends biocides capability on solid JV Foundation
An extension to our biocides technical facilities is planned for completion by the end of 2008. This extension will bring on line test facilities in the UK to build on the well-established efficacy testing provided by Akcros US facility. Testing facilities for paints, coatings, sealants and other product applications will complement the existing Polymer testing and formulation facilities available to Akcros customers.
This investment follows on from the announcement of the DAKSTAR JV between Dalian Xingyuan and Akcros earlier in the year. The joint venture is based primarily around isothiazalone chemistry, with the Akcros product range already including OIT and DCOIT in variety of formulations - for more details please refer to "products" section.
An extension to the range of products available from Akcros based on other isothiazolones (CMIT/MIT/BIT) and complimentary actives will be launched in early 2009. Contact us info.eu@akcros.com.
