Jake Kramp joins the Lawrence Industries Team as a Technical Sales Manager

 

Jake studied Chemistry at the University of Swansea and graduated in 2020. He then stayed on at Swansea to do an EngD working on developing sustainable paint coatings for coil-coated steel. His work included synthesis based on renewable materials to replace fossil-derived polyesters and the introduction of bio-derived additives such as waxes and matting agents into paint formulations. Jake wanted to use the skills and technical expertise he had gained from his degrees in a different setting so has joined the Lawrence Team to put them to good use in talking to customers about their project chemistry and the chemistry of products that could help them.

 

We're thrilled to have Jake in the team and wish him every success at Lawrence.

Each reproduces some of talc's functions well and others poorly.
