SICHEM - creative coatings

Lithcote Europe SA (hereinafter “Lithcote”), founded in 1966 in Belgium, was originally a subsidiary of Lithcote Corp, USA. Today, the company is in the hands of Christophe Leclercq (hereinafter “Management”), the owner and CEO.

Lithcote is specialized in formulating, manufacturing and applying anti- corrosion, anti-adhesion and anti-wear coatings.

The company offers several metal treatment processes for the industries.

Management recently invested substantially in their R&D department and developed a virucidal, bactericidal and fungicidal coating. This new product is named Nobacoat®

Nobacoat’s effectiveness has already been approved and tested against Covid-19 by a laboratory from the University of Liège.

Nobacoat has originally been developed by Lithcote. However, the new project will be carried by a new entity, Sichem SRL, in order to isolate the new project from the historical activities and thereby allowing new investors to support the new project without regard to Lithcote’s activities. Sichem is the product of the partial split of Lithcote. During this operation, three patent applications related to Nobacoat® were transferred in the new entity.In the future, Sichem will be the sole responsible entity for the manufacturing and commercialization of Nobacoat.

Nobacoat is a transparent disinfectant coating that has a mechanical (no chemical) effect on micro-organisms.

Based on very solid functionalized hybrid ceramic, it is very resistant and very durable.
