  • When the deal closes, expected in early 2016, HEM will own the Martinal precipitated and ground alumina trihydrate and Magnifin premium precipitated magnesium hydroxide brands, along with a number of speciality chemicals products, including Martifin specialty hydrates for paper, Martoxid aluminum oxide primarily for ceramics, Pergopak flatting agents primarily for coatings and Compalox granulated activated alumina.

    Earlier this year, it bought the Safire nitrogen and phosphorous flame retardant technology from Floridienne Group and Catena Additives. In 2012, it purchased Almatis' speciality hydrate flame retardant business and in 2010, it acquired Sherwin Williams' Kemgard flame retardant and smoke suppressant business.
