About Actichem

WE’RE ON A MISSION TO CREATE A CLEANER WORLD - SAFELY.

Smart chemistry, that cares

The Paynter family set out on our business journey in 1978 because we saw an opportunity to apply smarter thinking to the chemical industry in a way that helped the planet. That’s how we grew from our humble beginnings recycling and blending brake fluid in South Africa to leading the way with smart and safe chemical cleaning solutions from our purpose-built laboratory in Newcastle, Australia. Along the way we’ve been on the cutting edge of research and development in the manufacturing of high quality chemicals for cleaning and protecting almost every hard or soft surface; but we’ve never lost touch with our principles as a family-owned and operated business. That’s how we continue to deliver carefully formulated top-of-the-line products at an excellent price, and with care.

Who we are

We’re a family-owned company who have been providing high performance cleaning and protection products out of Newcastle, NSW since 1999. Our history of smart innovation in the chemical manufacturing industry dates back to 1978, and our business model is still proudly geared towards continuous improvement and the quest for excellence.

Every member of our team is highly trained to bring you friendly fast delivery, flexibility and product availability. It’s smart chemistry, delivered with care.
