About Alfred Kochen
Alfred Kochen GmbH & Co. KG is a trading house founded in 1961, based at Streit's Hof, a Kontorhaus building in downtown Hamburg. The company distributes industrial raw materials to industrial end consumers and provides advice on development and application. The product range includes pigments (including titanium dioxide, iron oxide, organic and inorganic pigments, pearlescent and aluminium pigments), fillers such as barium sulphate, talc, dolomite and mica, additives, solvents, binder components for construction chemistry, greases additives for industrial lubricants, as well as dyes for printing inks and inks. In the Automotive & Mobility sector, AdBlue (32.5% urea solution per ISO 22241) is delivered loose in tank wagons, complemented by technically pure urea solutions and N 46% urea granules. Further business areas are markers for heating oil as well as water-based coating systems and modular semi-finished products (slurries, pastes). Customers come from the paints and coatings industry, printing inks, construction chemistry, plastics, lubricants and printing ink industries.
