Biocide expert and global technology provider decide on a long-term cooperation
LANXESS, one of the world’s largest suppliers of antimicrobial protection products, and Tennants GmbH from Bielefeld, Germany, have agreed on a strategic cooperation for integrated solutions in the field of industrial plant hygiene. In doing so, the partners will combine the specialty chemicals group’s biocide portfolio and the company’s adenosine triphosphate (ATP) technology. ATP technology can be used to quickly and reliably detect a possible contamination with microorganisms.
Philipp Seidenstuecker, Global Marketing Manager Paints & Coatings in the Material Protection Products (MPP) business unit at LANXESS, explains, “Plant hygiene is a key element of a proper preservation, especially in our ever tighter regulatory environment. The ATP technology from Tennants is an excellent way to monitor the hygiene level in the factory and to support a most efficient use of biocides. Customers of both companies benefit equally from this cooperation.”
Jasper Stegeman, General Manager ATP Technology at Tennants, says: “LANXESS’ comprehensive biocide solutions are a perfect match to our ATP technology to help our customers maintain their industrial plant hygiene.”
The synergistic combination does not only account for the paints and polymer manufacturing, but also for the processing industries including chemicals for inks, adhesives, plastics, textiles, leather, metalworking fluids, lubricants, and building materials.
