Shawnee Chemical And SANITIZED AG: New Strategic Sales Partnership For The Sanitized® Antimicrobial Polymer Additive

PRINCETON, N.J/BURGDORF, Switzerland — November 6, 2019 — From October 28, 2019, SANITIZED customers in the PVC industry in the US will profit from the expertise and established sales network of Shawnee Chemical. The Sanitized® antimicrobial additive for hygiene function and material protection for flexible PVC will be marketed in the US by the new sales partner.

SANITIZED and Shawnee Chemical, two experts in their fields with a similar understanding of values, have joined forces: Both deal in high-performance products for the PVC industry combined with the best possible service, which begins with the conception of value-added products and their optimum use. This collaboration with SANITIZED is a good fit for the portfolio as both companies focus on innovative, customer-specific solutions.

With the addition of the antimicrobial Sanitized additives at Shawnee Chemical, the PVC industry gets a new overall package, offering more than just products for hygiene function and material protection.

The antimicrobial additives for PVC from SANITIZED protects flexible and rigid PVC end products from bacterial infestation, growth of algae and mildew, material degradation, biofilms, pink stain, and odors caused by microbes. The PVC industry uses the antimicrobial additive in flooring, industrial coatings, artificial leather, roof membranes, pool liners and tarpaulins.
