Kisuma-partnershipKisuma Chemicals BV, the global manufacturer of Alcamizer®, DHT4®, KISUMA® and other related products, have decided not to extend the contract with Mitsui. Kisuma’s products have been represented by Mitsui & Co. in different capacities and has made many contributions and services to its business over the last 20 years.

Kisuma's Range of Products


Effective April 1st, 2020, sales, technical services and logistics of all Kisuma products are directly handled by Kisuma Chemicals BV, including but not limited to the following product lines:

  • ALCAMIZER® series – A range of environmentally friendly hydrotalcite products specifically designed to be used as halogen scavengers in heavy metal free stabilizer systems for PVC.
  • DHT-4® series - A family of hydrotalcites developed specifically for irreversible acid scavenging in polymer production and processing systems.
  • KISUMA 5® series – A range of magnesium hydroxides, that are used as non-toxic flame retardants in thermoplastics and rubbers. The unique properties of the Kisuma 5® products allow high concentration compounding without loss of mechanical properties, which makes these materials suitable for use in high temperature cables that need to be halogen free.
  • KW-2xxx series

Kisuma Chemicals BV is the vendor for these products. Kisuma will enforce its full commitment to supply security and a seamless and sustainable transition without impacting consumption or critical lead times.
