Lumasa
Lumasa is participating in the
Abrafati congress for the first
time this year. “Lumana currently
represents and distributes in the
South American market epoxy
resins and auxiliary chemicals
from The Jana Jubail Chemical
Industries and CTP Chemicals &
Technologies for Polymers GmbH.
Jana, a producer of epoxy resins,
continues to invest in capacity
expansion and expects to double
its capacity for epoxy resins and
other important raw material,
such as epichlorohydrin and soda,
by 2012. Another two-fold capaci-
ty increase process is scheduled to
be completed by 2015 in order to
position the company among the
world’s three largest epoxy resin
manufacturers. Lumasa currently
provides customer with an option
to purchase Jana resins by direct
importation or from its local
inventory,” says Lumasa’s Director
Marcos Codinhoto.
The other major company repre-
sented by Lumasa is CTP Che-
micals & Technologies for Poly-
mers GmbH, which specializes in
developing and producing harde-
ners and epoxy systems that meet
new environmental regulations
without compromising any per-
formance requirements. “A manu-
facturer of high-solids, nonylphe-
nol-free, phenol-free and benzyl
alcohol-free waterborne epoxy
systems and hardeners that meet
a variety of requirements from the
markets that we serve, Lumasa
seeks and has been successfully
achieving sustainable growth by
providing customers with excel-
lent quality products and servi-
ces,” says Lumasa’s Director Mario
de Carvalho.
