A history of cutting-edge innovation

KemaNobel is established in Sweden.In 1984, KemaNobel merges with Boforsto form Nobel Industries, which inturn is acquired by Akzo in1994 to create Akzo Nobel

Alfred Nobel founds Elektrokemiska Aktiebolaget,known as Eka. Today, Eka is part of ourPulp and Performance Chemicals business

Akzo is formed following the merger ofDutch companies AKU and KZO

Akzo Nobel acquires ICI andchanges its name to AkzoNobel

Formulation technology (ReForm)

Formulation technology is about how to select, combine, optimize and process chemicalingredients into such products. Formulation work requires a combination of advanced knowledge onthe properties of the starting materials, their mutual interactions, and the process conditions.

From solvents to water

Renewable raw materials

Open time

Anti-soil

Scratch resistance

Thermal insulation

Sustainable pesticides/biocides

Reduction of TiO2 in paint

Surface Enrichment of Silica inPaint

Surface enrichment of silica particles during drying process. This can reduce/delay skinformation and thereby extends open time as well as enhancing dirt pick-up resistance.
