AkzoNobel and Sinopec strengthen their partnership to support global expansion and drive the green energy transition with high-performance coatings.
AkzoNobel’s Marine and Protective Coatings business has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Sinopec to support the Chinese energy and chemical company’s global expansion while jointly promoting the ongoing transition to green energy.
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.
