Brenntag partners with Nanum to distribute advanced nanomaterials, enhancing innovation, product performance, and market reach across multiple industrial sectors globally.
Brenntag, a global leader in the distribution of chemicals and ingredients, has announced a strategic distribution agreement with Nanum, a company recognized for its expertise in the industrial-scale production of advanced nanomaterials. This collaboration aims to introduce a wide range of nanotechnology-driven solutions to the market, further strengthening Brenntag’s specialty product portfolio while reinforcing its focus on innovation and advanced material technologies across multiple industries.
Through this partnership, Brenntag will expand its offerings with Nanum’s diverse and high-performance product range. Nanum’s portfolio includes cutting-edge materials such as graphene nanoplatelets, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, nano silver, and nano cerium. These advanced nanomaterials are known for their consistent quality and are designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial applications. They are particularly suited for use in sectors such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE), as well as polymers and rubber industries.
The integration of Nanum’s products into Brenntag’s distribution network is expected to deliver significant performance enhancements across various applications. These nanomaterials contribute to improved mechanical strength, enhanced impermeability, and superior resistance to corrosion. Additionally, they offer benefits such as increased transparency, improved electrical and thermal conductivity, and even reduced fuel consumption in certain applications. These attributes make them highly valuable for customers seeking innovative and efficient material solutions.
Ailton Ricaldoni, Chairman of Nanum, expressed strong optimism about the collaboration, highlighting the company’s investments in advanced manufacturing infrastructure and a skilled workforce. He emphasized that Nanum is well-prepared to support this partnership and sees a promising future ahead as both companies work together to expand their reach and technological impact.
From Brenntag’s perspective, the agreement represents a significant opportunity to enhance its Material Science portfolio, particularly within its Specialties division in Latin America. Marcelo Barros, Senior Director of Material Science for Brenntag Specialties Latin America, noted that the collaboration will open new commercial avenues by combining Brenntag’s extensive regional distribution network with Nanum’s deep technical expertise. This synergy is expected to enable the co-creation of innovative, high-value solutions tailored to customer needs, ultimately delivering greater value across key markets.
Fernando Contadini, CEO of Nanum, also highlighted the long-term benefits of the partnership. He stated that Nanum’s industrial-scale production capabilities, combined with Brenntag’s strong research and development expertise and global supply chain infrastructure, will ensure that customers receive exceptional technical and commercial support. He further emphasized that the collaboration will provide reliable and efficient product availability, positioning both companies for sustained success in the evolving nanotechnology landscape.
Overall, this agreement underscores a shared commitment by Brenntag and Nanum to drive innovation, enhance product performance, and deliver advanced material solutions that meet the growing demands of modern industries.
