As the coatings industry continues to evolve, access to the right raw materials, additives and formulation support remains essential for manufacturers looking to improve performance, reliability and consistency.
Chemtrade South Africa was proud to participate in Coatings for Africa 2026, held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg in late June, where the team connected with customers, principals and industry partners from across the coatings sector.
The exhibition brought together manufacturers, suppliers, formulators, technical specialists and other key role-players, with strong attendance throughout the event.
According to the Chemtrade team, the stand remained busy across the three days, creating valuable opportunities for face-to-face discussions with existing and prospective customers.
“At Chemtrade, our strength lies in the breadth of solutions we are able to offer across different coating and formulation applications. We work with respected international principals and support customers in identifying the right raw materials, additives and technologies for their specific requirements,” says Debra Barker, Managing Director of Chemtrade.
“Coatings for Africa is always a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the industry, understand where the market is heading, and reinforce the technical support we offer our customers,” says Lynne Herridge, Business Manager at Chemtrade.
Chemtrade represents a portfolio of respected international principals and supplies speciality raw materials, additives and performance products to customers across Southern Africa.
The company supports manufacturers in coatings, construction, industrial formulations and related applications with product knowledge, reliable supply and technical guidance.
Customers who were unable to attend Coatings for Africa, or who did not get an opportunity to connect with the team during the event, are welcome to contact Chemtrade for product information, technical support or supply enquiries.
