In a move set to transform the Indian polyurethane market, Germany’s Bomix Chemie and India’s Crosskote Specialties have officially announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration will focus on the development and supply of innovative release agents and in-mould coatings tailored specifically for local industry demands.
A Fusion of Industry Expertise
Bomix Chemie, a BERLAC Group subsidiary, brings over 85 years of experience in crafting high-performance water-based release agents and in-mould coatings. Known for its pioneering work in the automotive and footwear sectors, the company has established itself as a leader in enhancing manufacturing processes across Europe. On the other hand, Crosskote Specialties, a subsidiary of Lubrikote with more than 50 years of expertise, is well recognized for its specialized solvent-based release agents designed for the polyurethane industry. The firm’s strong market presence in India and deep understanding of regional requirements make it an ideal partner in this venture.
The alliance is poised to create a powerful synergy by integrating Bomix’s strengths in water-based formulations with Crosskote’s proficiency in solvent-based chemistries. According to Benedikt Neue, Sales Director at Bomix Chemie, this combination is expected to drive substantial innovation in the field, delivering advanced chemical solutions not only to India but also to neighboring regions.
A joint research and development initiative will be central to the partnership. R&D teams from both Bomix and Crosskote will work together—leveraging resources from Germany and India—to develop products that address the unique challenges of the polyurethane sector. This collaboration aims to deliver tailor-made solutions that meet the technical and commercial needs of manufacturers.
