Huber
Engineered Materials announced that it has acquired the Kemgard flame retardant
and smoke suppressant business of Sherwin-Williams. This addition of the Kemgard
portfolio strengthens Huber’s current alumina trihydrate and magnesium
hydroxide product portfolio and leverages Huber’s expertise in offering a wider
spectrum of non-halogen flame retardant solutions.
“This
is an exciting acquisition, as it enhances our presence in the market and will
be beneficial to Kemgard customers,” said Jerry Bertram, vice president and
general manager of Huber’s Industrial Minerals business. “
"The Kemgard
products complement our existing line-up perfectly, as the marketplace continues
its shift toward more environmentally-friendly flame retardants and smoke
suppressants.”
The
Kemgard products will continue to be manufactured in Coffeyville, Kan., and
brand grades and product specifications will remain the same.
