Akzonobel’s Marine and Protective Coatings division signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Sinopec to support its global expansion and green energy transition.
The partnership will provide high-performance coatings for Sinopec’s international projects, including refining facilities and chemical production sites.
This builds on a relationship that began in the early 2000s.
The partnership – which builds on a relationship that first started in the early 2000s – will leverage AkzoNobel’s global presence and centers on the supply of International high-performance coatings products to Sinopec and its affiliated institutions for overseas construction projects.
It includes providing anti-corrosive coatings for steel structures, protective coatings specifically designed for high temperature resistance, chemical-resistant coatings for storage tanks and high-performance fireproof coatings. They’ll be used for projects that demand uncompromising quality, such as building refining facilities, natural gas processing plants and chemical production sites.
“Having already successfully collaborated with Sinopec on several landmark projects, we’re honored to strengthen our partnership, reflecting our shared vision to advance towards a more sustainable future,” says Simon Parker, director of AkzoNobel’s Marine and Protective Coatings business and member of the Executive Committee.
One of China’s largest integrated energy and chemical companies, Sinopec (China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation) is actively promoting the transformation and upgrading of its traditional businesses, enhancing its green energy supply capabilities and advancing energy conservation and emissions reduction.
The track record between the two parties already includes several major projects, such as Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company’s million ton ethylene project and the Petronas RAPID project in Malaysia.
Adds Parker: “Our International products have been used on everything from some of the world’s most sustainable buildings to projects in impossibly remote areas. This is another opportunity to use our extensive industry experience and exceptional product portfolio to help a customer thrive in the global arena.”
The signing ceremony took place during the recent opening of the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai.
