This resulted in a savings in packaging waste of 20 %. Early 2012 we will be forced to re-introduce the 5 kg buckets. Transport regulations for exempted quantities have changed and set a limit of 5 kg now, where this used to be 6 kg. There will be no other changes to the product or its packaging. We will now be looking at other ways to save on packaging materials.]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:15:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/Regulations-against-a-greener-world.htm Axcentive is introducing a new packaging for Ketjenflex CP. It is a delicate product as it is a hygroscopic corrosive product that cakes easily. Depending on the application, absence of impurities such as free acid and iron are of utmost importance. Often seen as a commodity, suppliers are typically not willing to invest in more advanced packaging. Axcentive does bring the quality of its packaging for Ketjenflex CP to a higher standard. Competitive products are often packed in brown paper bags or so-called poly-woven bags. Ketjenflex CP will from now on be available in strong and hygienic plastic bags which are sealed. Printed in tune with the fresh new Axcentive image and all regulatory requirements, we are convinced that both product quality and image will be appealing to our customers.K...]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/KetjenflexCP-improved-packing.htm The first deliveries of Ketjenflex 12 to distributors and final users have taken place. Our citrate based plasticizer is now already being used in different applications, such as printing inks, PVC compounding and nail polish.In PVC compounding, DOP (also known as DEHP) and DOA are the products mostly used. DOP belongs to the phthalate range and is not in use anymore for food contact applications. It is largely replaced by DOA (SML 18 ppm) and ATBC (SML 60 ppm). DOA was initially the product of choice while ATBC was the more expensive product. However due to its success and in combination with the high migration of DOA into fatty foods, the exposure of the public to DOA has reached its safe limits. Various authorities are now reconsidering the use of DOA in food-contact applications. This ...]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/Ketjenflex12-in-the-market.htm Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/Questioning-questionnaires.htm After the 2008/2009 crisis, production capacity for many chemicals has been drastically reduced, mainly due to decommissioning of older and smaller units.Despite the picking up of the chemical markets, new production capacity is coming on stream sparingly. Under these critical circumstances Axcentive is taking maximum care that you can run your production as usual. How do we do this ?First of all we cooperate with long term production partners – often for more than 10 years - where we have a preferred or exclusive status. This warrants the best possible supply position. Secondly, for every product in our range we have approved backup facilities in case the standard plant lacks capacity. Finally we have a significant stock of products in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Chicago, USA where ...]]> Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:00:00 +0200 http://www.axcentive.com/1902.htm Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:00:00 +0200 http://www.axcentive.com/1914.htm Our Halamid® Pharma production line has been EU GMP (ICHQ 7) inspected last April by SGS. The particularity of this audit was that it was organized by Axcentive but ordered by a group of customers that Axcentive brought together. For a GMP audit to be valid for the production of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), the producer of the substance may not directly order this audit. The medicinal registration holders who buy the API are charged with this. The conclusion of SGS after the audit was positive and this is important for the continued validity of our customers’ registrations.]]> Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:00:00 +0200 http://www.axcentive.com/1910.htm A healthy mouth with Halamid®...Halamid® is sometimes surprising us when it concerns its possible uses.

The pastel colors of the old site have been traded in for a bright fresh look, completely in line with today's fashion. Axcentive is present in a wide variety of markets and consequently has web visitors with every imaginable background. Making everybody feel "at home" is not always easy. This was the reason to create three markedly different environments behind the general pages. Three sections were created: Fine Chemicals,Plasticizers and Halamid®, our disinfectant. This underlines the desire to make sure you are on the right spot. Nothing is more frustrating, to 'wander around' without finding what you are looking for.We thought carefully about user friendliness; the site is logical...]]> Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/Axcentive-Newsletter-february2011.htm Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/1526.htm The looks of our packaging have definitely changed! After the new CLP regulation came into force on December 1, 2010, it was necessary to totally review the contents of our labels. This was also the occasion to change the ‘looks’. Following carefully the three product groups introduced in our website (Fine Chemicals, Plasticizers and Halamid®), our new labels are modern, clear, attractive and above all functional. Even if our products are not typically on the shelves of a trendy boutique, our design agency ZMO showed that labeling of chemical products can be functional and attractive at the same time! Content wise, much has changed for the so-called ‘classified’ products. We encourage you to download from our web site the latest version of the Material Safety Data sheets to see...]]> Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/An-extrememakeover.htm Axcentive – when it comes to sulfonamides - is the expert in Ketjenflex® sulfonamide plasticizers and is global market leader in these products. For the extension of our product range we have nevertheless shown an open-mind and listened to the market. Over the last year we have acquired the necessary know how to play a prominent role in the market of citrate based plasticizers. Upon careful consideration of the production technology, environmental and toxic behavior and plasticizing performance we concluded this is a technology with a bright future and complementary to our sulfonamide range. Our new product Ketjenflex® 12 (ATBC) is a high performance, safe, sustainable and affordable plasticizer for instance in food packaging inks, coatings, adhesives and toys where exposure coul...]]> Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/News_Ketjenflex_12.htm Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:00:00 +0100 http://www.axcentive.com/Axcentivelaunchesnewwebsite.htm We are happy to inform you that we will be present as exhibitor on the VIV Asia show from March 9 – 11 in Hall 02 stand A030. This time our theme is “Halamid® – your biocide in aquaculture” as particularly in this field, Halamid® has some important advantages over other biosecurity measures. The tolerance of fish and crustaceans against Halamid® is very good and while not leaving any residues this makes it the best product for application in contact with live fish and shrimps.Halamid® - Chloramine T is well-known in fresh water (trout) farming where it has been applied for decades as a safe means against the pathogens causing Bacterial Gill Disease. This proven product is now also introduced in marine and brackish water farming.
