A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO MODERN COATING TECHNOLOGY

 A Sustainable Approach to
Modern Coating Technology
Patcham FZC is a global manufacturer of specialty addi�ves headquartered in the
United Arab Emirates. Since its incep�on, Patcham has steadily grown to become a
leading supplier of metal carboxylates and specialty addi�ves for Paint & Coa�ngs,
Inks, PVC, Composites and Polyurethane. We also manufacture a range of �n based
and �n free catalysts for various end use industries.

The company’s Pat-Add range of coa�ng addi�ves includes driers, we�ng & dispersing
agents, defoamers, slip & leveling agents, rheology modifiers. All our products are
APEO free and many are produced from green raw materials. Several are designed to
enable our customers to make products that are low VOC or VOC free.

Patcham has a strong manufacturing and R&D infrastructure that enables rapid transi-
�on from concept to products. The company has strategically located technical service
laboratories, offices and representa�ves around the world to provide efficient customer
service. In addi�on, a well-developed robust supply chain network enables us to deliver
our products and services to customers around the globe with minimal lead-�me.
