Brenntag, the global leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution, has announced a new partnership with Nanum, a Brazilian company specializing in industrial-scale nanomaterials. 

 

The deal will expand Brenntag’s specialty product portfolio and accelerate the delivery of cutting-edge nanotechnology solutions across multiple industries.

 

Nanum’s lineup includes graphene nanoplatelets, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, nano silver, and nano cerium—exclusive products engineered to boost mechanical strength, impermeability, corrosion resistance, transparency, and both electrical and thermal conductivity. 

 

These materials also promise efficiency gains, including reduced fuel consumption, for sectors ranging from CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers) to polymers and rubber.

 

“We at Nanum are very enthusiastic about our new partnership with Brenntag. We have made significant investments in a state-of-the-art facility and a highly skilled team to support this venture. The future looks bright,” said Ailton Ricaldoni, Chairman at Nanum.

 

Marcelo Barros, Sr. Director Material Science for Brenntag Specialties Latin America, emphasized the strategic value of the collaboration.

 

“The partnership between Nanum and Brenntag unlocks new commercial opportunities by broadening our Specialties portfolio in Material Science and reinforcing our ability to co-create innovative, high-value solutions for our customers. By combining our regional distribution network with Nanum’s technical expertise, we are well positioned to deliver greater value across our key markets.”

 

Fernando Contadini, CEO at Nanum, highlighted the scale and reliability of the venture: “With our nanomaterials portfolio, which is produced to the highest standards on an industrial scale, combined with Brenntag's R&D capabilities and global supply chain, we are confident that all customers will receive the best technical and sales support, backed by an efficient and reliable supply, for many years to come.”
