A merger between Italian companies Icap-Sira Chemicals and Polymers and Irsea, which began on October 1 2009, has been completed.  

The deal will bring additional expertise and capacity to Icap-Sira’s portfolio of coloring systems for PSA applications. It will add around 5,000 tons of production each year to Icap-Sira’s pigment dispersion business, as well as bringing further benefits to its polyurethane production.
