Albizzate, July 2025 - Lamberti SPA, a renowned global producer of specialty chemicals, is proud to announce a new strategic collaboration with Safic-Alcan, a worldwide leader in specialty chemical distribution.
This agreement grants Safic-Alcan the exclusive distribution rights in France and Turkey for Decosphaera® polyurethane and Spheromers® acrylic polymer beads.
These advanced spherical polymer beads offer long-lasting matting effects, delivering a refined, low-gloss finish that meets the demands of high-performance coatings. Thanks to their robust mechanical and chemical resistance, they ensure durable surface protection, while the soft-touch feel adds a tactile dimension to product design.

Their excellent light-diffusion capability allows for superior visual uniformity and a consistent matte appearance.
Typical applications include:
- Floor and furniture coatings
- Coil and paper foil finishes
- Printing inks and architectural paints
- Leather coatings and various plastic applications
Suitable for solvent-based, water-based, and 100% UV-curable systems, Decosphaera® and Spheromers® provide formulators with versatile options to meet diverse technical requirements.
This partnership marks another step in Lamberti’s mission to deliver innovative, high-performance raw materials tailored to the evolving needs of modern industries.
