ASCOTEC

Company Overview

ASCOTEC are a French company with over 20 years of experience in the anti-corrosion field. With a strong emphasis on innovation and a customer-centric ethos, ASCOTEC has undergone rapid expansion in both company size and services but also product range. Many of the product offerings have grown from customised solutions.

They can fulfil bespoke performance tests in their state-of-the-art laboratory for customers needing help with getting corrosion inhibition into their products. Here at Lawrence Industries, we have partnered with them to offer anti-flash rust additives and rust convertors that can benefit aqueous coatings and other solutions designed to be in long-term contact with metal parts.

ASCONIUM® and ASCOTRAN® are their flagship ranges that offer coatings formulators with outstanding anti-corrosion performance. They have a wide range of discovered applications including facilitating the protection of metal substrates during the application of aqueous coatings and enhancing the protection of metal packaging, but with the aid of ASCOTEC's innovation team, our technical sales managers would love the challenge of coming up with new applications with you.
