Specialty chemical distributor Sea-Land Chemical Company has expanded its relationship with Seppic Inc, a designer of specialty ingredients, to cover the entire United States.

Based in Courbevoie, France, with distributors and production sites around the world, Seppic has been a subsidiary of the Air Liquide Group since 1986. The company has four main areas of business: personal care, pharmaceuticals and nutrition, vaccine adjuvants and injectables, and industrial specialties. Seppic provides surfactants and rheology modifiers of high added value to a variety of markets: industrial and institutional cleaning, vehicle care, household cleaning, lubricants, crop protection, oilfield, coatings, adhesives, inks, leather, textiles and water & tunnel drilling. Seppic’s performance materials include the SOLAGUM™, SIMULSOL™, CAPIGEL™, and MONTANE ™ product lines.

“We are delighted to expand our territory agreement with Seppic and become its sole distributor partner in marketing and promoting its surfactants and rheology modifiers in the United States,” said Craig Lundell, senior vice president, Commercial Operations, Sea-Land Chemical. “This geographic expansion is driven by the value of our technically trained sales, technical resources and strong supply chain.
