    Leverkusen, Germany -- Bayer MaterialScience has been given "The Alliance Award for Superior Partnership," by AkzoNobel's Automotive & Aerospace Coatings business.

    Bayer has long supplied the Amsterdam-based company, which claims to be the world's largest coatings manufacturer, with raw materials -- primarily aliphatic and aromatic isocyanates as well as polyurethane dispersions.

    The award is given each year in recognition of high and consistent product quality, supply reliability, product availability and good partnership.

    "We are very pleased with this award and the appreciation shown us," said Daniel Meyer, head of the Coatings, Adhesives, Specialties Business Unit at Bayer MaterialScience. "Our goal is to be a reliable partner for our customers, supporting their positive development in the global market."

    "AkzoNobel A&AC is proud to recognise suppliers that share our longstanding commitment to excellence and partnership," said Frank van Ooijen, director of operations at AkzoNobel A&AC. "Working together with Bayer Material Science we have expanded and strengthened our capabilities across the value chain and that's why they are deserving this award."

    AkzoNobel uses Desmodur N isocyanates, primarily in the formulation of automotive refinishing and industrial coatings. Aromatic isocyanates from the Desmodur L product line have proven effective in wood and furniture coatings, for example. Coatings formulated with Bayer raw materials are also used in a great many other applications and on a wide variety of substrates. The spectrum ranges from anticorrosion and marine coatings to can, coil and speciality coatings.

    Sustainability is a top priority for both companies. "We are working in close collaboration with the sustainability team at AkzoNobel A&AC to develop raw materials for low-solvent coatings," said Knut-Richard Hausmann, key account manager for AkzoNobel A&AC. As part of this collaboration, Bayer MaterialScience has also conducted cradle-to-grave analyses to support its customers with the switch to low-solvent coating systems.
