Specialty chemicals company Clariant International Ltd. has struck a strategic partnership with Chinese film manufacturer Gettel High-Tech Materials Co. Ltd. to promote additives and liquid feeding technology in the biaxially oriented polypropylene sector in China.
Gettel High-Tech Materials, headquartered in Wenzhou, is a BOPP manufacturer with production capacity of 600,000 tonnes per year. These include adhesive tape film, matte film, heat sealable film, lamination film and film for bag making and laser labels.
"With the strategic partnership we are forming, we've decided to equip all of our production lines with Clariant's liquid feeding technology and additive products,” explained Fang Wenbing, president of Gettel High-Tech Materials Co. Ltd.
Gettel said Clariant will “leverage” Clariant's solutions that include the antistatic additive Hostastat FA 68 combined with liquid feeding technology and AddWorks LXR 408. Clariant, the company added, “will find better distribution of its new technologies and products.”
"With this cooperation and our additive solutions, we hope to help the whole BOPP industry in China to upgrade its production technology, improve product quality and save material costs," said Frank Liu, business development manager Asia Pacific, Clariant's Additive Business Unit.
