In this issue of Industry Update, we are pleased to feature Solvocoat Additives & Chemicals UK Ltd as our Petrochemicals Company of the Month.
Solvocoat Additives & Chemicals UK Ltd is a rapidly expanding distributor specialising in petrochemical products, including lubricant additives, Base Oils (Groups I–IV), and a range of semi-specialty chemicals. As a dynamic player in the global petrochemical sector, Solvocoat serves diverse markets across the Middle East, the Asian Subcontinent, Europe, and North America.
Founded in 2020 by Danial Arshad – a MEng Chemical Engineering graduate from University College London with over 15 years of industry experience – Solvocoat has built a reputation for providing high-quality solutions that support the manufacturing of a broad spectrum of intermediate and finished products.
By combining deep scientific knowledge with a hands-on, customer-focused approach, Solvocoat effectively addresses complex challenges in the solvents and specialty chemicals space. In a rapidly evolving industry, the company remains committed to delivering reliable quality, consistency, and long-term value across its product portfolio.
“We assist companies across the world with the right demographic specific strategies to market and sell their products. We also assist manufacturers and blenders in sourcing highly technical products cost-effective and efficiently,” said Danial.
Based in Milton Keynes, Solvocoat positions itself as a value-added partner to engine oil manufacturers and paint & coatings companies, helping drive their progress through smart, science-based solutions. As a trusted global supplier in the petrochemicals industry, Solvocoat offers a broad and reliable product portfolio supported by exceptional customer service, streamlined operations, and strong technical expertise.
The company’s offering includes premium Lubricant Additives and Base Oils (Groups I–IV, including esters), as well as Basic and Performance Chemicals tailored for the architectural and decorative paints and coatings industry. Sourced from some of the world’s most respected manufacturers, Solvocoat’s portfolio also covers a wide range of raw materials, adhesives, sealants, modifiers, surfactants, solvents, and specialty chemicals – serving diverse applications in floor coatings, hygiene, personal care and cosmetics, metalworking, and beyond.
Most recently, in response to growing demand for outsourcing, the company has expanded its capabilities to offer toll blending services for the lubricant industry – providing clients with custom-formulated products tailored to their specific requirements. “These products are produced in state-of-the-art facilities through our partner company based in the U.A.E.,” mentioned Danial.
This arrangement allows for clients to leverage the toll blender’s expertise, equipment, and infrastructure, offering a more cost-effective solution to building and maintaining in-house facilities, which is especially beneficially for smaller companies or those with fluctuating demand.
Alongside sourcing highly performance products, Solvocoat also provides its clients with technical know-how and sampling assistance to ensure clients receive complete satisfaction before placing large orders. “We constantly strive to provide our clients with the latest industry manufacturing technology as well as future market movement dynamics,” added Danial.
Now operating as a wholly UK-owned entity, the company is focused on strengthening its domestic presence by establishing local stocking facilities – enabling faster, on-demand supply of key products and reinforcing its commitment to responsive customer service.
In closing, Danial stated, “With the ever-changing global business dynamics, Solvocoat Additives & Chemicals can play a pivotal role in assisting manufacturers in importing high quality products competitively and assisting UK based manufacturers in supplying their finished products to the international market.”
