Concoat joins Chase Specialty Coatings
The highly successful materials business of UK company Concoat has been purchased by the North American Chase Corporation
Concoat will be linked with Chase's HumiSeal business to further its globalisation of its industry leading conformal coatings and accessory business. The deal covers conformal coatings, masking and cleaning materials, and the Synergie electrochemically compatible process materials range. It should be noted that the deal does not include the process equipment and test instrument side of the former Concoat Group business that has been independently established as a completely separate company called Concoat Systems.

'Concoat has been an agent, distributor and manufacturing licensee of HumiSeal for nearly 25 years'.

'Because of its rapid cure speed, level of processing ease and thermal cycling resistance never before associated with UV materials, this product will, for the first time, give high volume users in fields such as automotive and consumer electronics access to the popular UV curable coating class', summarises Phil Kinner, Concoat's Technical Manager.
Additionally, HumiSeal UV40 has a secondary moisture cure with shadow cure reliability previously not seen in the industry.
Chase Corporation states that the Concoat acquisition will serve as a foot hold for the US company in Europe.
Concoat will become part of the Chase Specialty Coatings division, a leader in the manufacture and sale of anticorrosion materials in the electronic coatings sector, the gas and oil pipeline business, and architectural and bridge industry.
