Eka Chemicals

Company Type: Factory.

Company Introduction:

Eka Chemicals was a global producer of specialty chemicals, and its operations in Malaysia primarily functioned as a manufacturing facility. It was a business unit of AkzoNobel, a leading global paints and coatings company and a major producer of specialty chemicals.

In Malaysia, Eka Chemicals was involved in the production and supply of various chemicals, serving industries such as pulp and paper, water treatment, and other industrial applications. Its product portfolio typically included bleaching chemicals, functional chemicals, and performance additives.

Globally, AkzoNobel's Specialty Chemicals business, which encompassed Eka Chemicals, was spun off in 2017 to become an independent company named Nouryon. Therefore, while the name "Eka Chemicals" might not be actively used as a standalone entity today, its former operations and manufacturing capabilities in Malaysia are now part of Nouryon's chemical production and supply chain in the region. Nouryon continues to operate manufacturing sites and supply specialty chemicals in Malaysia, building upon the legacy of Eka Chemicals.

Eka Chemicals in Malaysia, now part of Nouryon, produces and/or sells the following products:

* Bleaching Chemicals (for pulp and paper industry)

* Pulp and Paper Chemicals

* Specialty Chemicals

* Colloidal Silica

* Expandable Microspheres
