Hello Jouko,
Its Chris Verenu formerly of the Finnish Embassy/Kauko
I have misplaced your e mail address.
I have an inquiry for the following chemicals (please do not source from China).
Titanium dioxide rutile grade for paint (Kemira has been bought over so they are not able to supply the southern africa market)
DOP- this is for someone doing heavy duty polyester woven based tarpaulins and someone manufacturing vinyl tiles. Total market for zim is 50 tons per month. We could aim for 20% of this.
PVC resin- the current supplier is Vinnolit of Germany but they cannot supply this market currently
The grade they sail is something called Vinnolit K65 value MFI is 94.1 or thereabouts..can you find a substitute?
The above are urgently required in this market.
Most of the timber industry in Mutare is closed at the moment..things have never been so bad here.
By the way Yrsa (my boss, remember her? She was in Zim last year after 8 years.) When are you coming to this side of the world.
