Prague, 6th August 2024 –Biesterfeld, one of the leading international distributors of specialty chemical products, pharma and food ingredients, and Chem-Trend, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of process auxiliaries with a focus on mould release agents and purge compounds, are expanding their long-standing partnership. Effective immediately, Biesterfeld will distribute Ultra Purge™ purge compounds and Lusin® maintenance products in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The two companies are thus intensifying their trustful and successful collaboration.
Ultra PurgeTM purge compounds offer specialised solutions for a variety of resins and temperatures, effectively cleaning barrels, nozzles, hot runners, and extruder heads. These products are safe for hot runners, preventing oxidation during shutdowns and startups, and use less material compared to traditional cleaning products. Ultra PurgeTM is designed to improve process efficiency and product quality, while also lowering maintenance and operational costs, making it an essential tool for the platics processing industry.
Lusin® products are recognised for their high-quality standards, providing reliable performance and cost-effectiveness. The range includes cleaners, lubricants, protective agents, and release agents, all designed to enhance process efficiency, product quality, and reduce maintenance and operational costs, while extending mould lifespan.
Martin Krb, General Manager Biesterfeld Silcom, says: “It is a confirmation of the trust placed in us and we are proud to deepen our cooperation in the Czech and Slovak markets. With our competence and expertise as well as our local access to the market, we are ideally positioned to advise customers locally and fulfil their requirements. We look forward to a long-term and successful collaboration.”
