Safic-Alcan establishes a new distribution agreement with Huber Advanced Materials in the UK & Ireland, Benelux, Italy and Turkey.

La Défense, January 22 2025 – Safic-Alcan, a global specialty chemicals distributor, is pleased to announce its partnership with Huber Advanced Materials, a global leader in halogen-free fire-retardant additives, specialty aluminas, organic matting agents and carriers, and thermal management solutions, to distribute their range of Martinal® and Magnifin® halogen-free fire retardants in the rubber market.

This agreement combines the renowned distribution capabilities of the Safic-Alcan Group and the undisputed experience of Huber Advanced Materials, to enhance the prestigious Martinal® and Magnifin® brands within the European rubber market. Distribution will officially start with immediate effect in the UK & Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Italy and Turkey.

Martinal® aluminum hydroxide products, either ground or finely precipitated, are world-renowned as environmentally friendly, halogen-free flame retardants. They are non-corrosive and inert, without effect on pigmentation, while also being recyclable and efficient in reducing smoke density.

Magnifin® is a high-purity synthetic magnesium hydroxide. A patented manufacturing process is employed to produce a uniform fine particle size and regular crystal structure. Standard types or specially coated grades are available to ensure superb end-product properties. Magnifin® halogen-free flame retardants and smoke suppressants are recommended wherever exacting flame-retardant requirements must be met.

“Huber’s global distribution partners play an integral role in our success as they work closely with our commercial teams in understanding the markets in which we operate and focus on opportunities that arise which increases the reach of our business,” says Markus Klügge, Director of Sales EMEA+I at Huber Advanced Materials. “The Safic-Alcan Group has a proven track record of success which enables us to broaden our effectiveness specifically in the rubber market and their addition to our distributor network is a win-win result. We are excited to have them as a partner and look forward to working together."

 

We are excited to start this new partnership with Huber Advanced Materials such a well experienced and recognized producer of flame retardants. These products perfectly match to our specialty product portfolio for our rubber customers.
