DKSH’s Business Unit Performance Materials, a distributor of specialty chemicals and ingredients, will provide business development, marketing, sales, logistics, and distribution services for Vink Chemicals’ range of biocides. Biocides are used as preservative solutions in paint and coatings, as well as protective agents for liquids in cooling and processing systems and metalworking fluids. The biocides are also used in water treatment as slimicides.

DKSH says that with its distribution network, it will grow Vink Chemicals in China following its existing partnership in Australia, New Zealand, Cambodia, the Philippines, Spain and Thailand.

“Our deep market insights and broad range of services for the region will enable us to increase growth for Vink Chemicals’ range of biocides and generate more value for our wide customer base by using traditional and digital distribution and marketing channels,” says Carole Lin, general manager, performance materials, DKSH China.
