About Derfoe
Derfoe (also styled as DERFOE) is a brand of industrial and automotive products specializing in silicone-based materials, chemical maintenance solutions, sealants, lubricants, adhesives, and technical consumables. Public records associate the brand with SUPCON Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd., a company focused on silicone and advanced material technologies [1].
In the Philippines, Derfoe products are widely available through online marketplaces and automotive hardware channels. The brand has been present in the local market since at least 2017, when it was listed in Philippine trademark publications. Its portfolio serves automotive technicians, workshops, contractors, manufacturers, and DIY users across Southeast Asia.

History and corporate background
One of the earliest public records for the DERFOE name in the Philippines is a trademark publication from 2017, which lists the mark under the name of Jeric Tamayo Ong for Classes 1, 4, 7, and 17 [2]. This establishes the brand’s formal presence in the local intellectual property registry during that period.
Subsequent international trademark records provide a direct link between DERFOE and SUPCON Chemical Enterprise Limited. A 2019 application covered DERFOE for products including anti-corrosive greases, anti-rust greases, epoxy coatings, protective coatings, and automobile cooling-system rust inhibitors.
The corporate group associated with the brand is described as having expertise in silicone and advanced new materials, with applications spanning automotive, electronics, construction, new energy, industrial manufacturing, and marine engineering [1].
Product portfolio
Derfoe offers a product range that extends beyond a single automotive category to include various industrial and construction materials.
Sealants and adhesives
A significant portion of the brand’s presence consists of silicone sealants and bonding products. Examples found in regional marketplaces include:
- Neutral silicone sealants
- Acetic silicone sealants
- High-temperature silicone/gasket makers
- Anti-mold bathroom sealants
- Construction and glass sealants
- Planting/anchoring adhesives
- Sealant guns and accessories
Listings in neighboring markets show specific models such as SN-365, SN-389, SN-391, and SN-666, alongside polyurethane products and anchoring adhesives.
Polyurethane foam
Derfoe sells aerosol PU/polyurethane foam, including the PF-710/PF-711 range. These products are marketed for filling gaps and providing thermal and acoustic insulation [3].
Automotive chemicals
Automotive maintenance is a key segment for the brand. Products available under the Derfoe name include:
- Brake cleaner
- Electronic/contact cleaner
- Carburetor cleaner
- Grease
- Anti-rust products
- Thread-locking products
- Brake-related grease
- Automotive maintenance chemicals
Philippine listings currently feature Derfoe brake cleaner and electronic contact cleaner products.
Lubricants and protective products
Trademark records identify DERFOE products associated with anti-corrosion and anti-rust greases as well as protective coatings, indicating that corrosion protection and mechanical maintenance are central to the brand’s identity.
Market presence
Automotive aftermarket
Derfoe maintains a visible presence in the automotive aftermarket. Distributors categorize it within portfolios serving automotive parts and accessories. Retailers in the region carry DERFOE products such as thread-locking compound and brake-rubber grease, demonstrating the brand’s positioning toward workshop and vehicle-maintenance applications [4].
In the Philippines specifically, Derfoe products are sold through online automotive and hardware channels, offering items such as brake cleaners, contact cleaners, and sealants.
Industrial and construction applications
The brand’s portfolio supports various non-automotive applications, consistent with the technical-materials focus of its associated corporate group [1]. These include:
- Construction
- Building maintenance
- Glass and window installation
- Waterproofing and sealing
- Equipment maintenance
- Industrial assembly
- Automotive repair
- Electrical/electronic maintenance
- General workshop applications
International footprint
Marketplace and distributor evidence indicates that Derfoe has developed a distribution network across Southeast Asia:
- Indonesia: Substantial online product presence including sealants, PU foam, and anchoring products.
- Malaysia: Listed among distributed automotive brands by Forward Business.
- Thailand: Maintenance products sold through automotive retailer Superpart [4].
- Philippines: Automotive chemicals and sealants available through local online sellers.
The associated SUPCON business is also described as having subsidiaries or operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, supporting a regional distribution strategy [1].
Brand positioning and reputation
Derfoe functions as a technical-consumables brand rather than a conventional consumer lifestyle brand. Its products address practical needs such as sealing, bonding, lubricating, protecting, cleaning, insulating, and maintaining. This makes the brand relevant to professional user groups including automotive repair shops, mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, construction workers, contractors, and equipment-maintenance personnel.
The brand occupies a value-oriented professional and industrial segment. Products are widely available through distributors and e-commerce platforms, often positioned at accessible price points. For example, storefronts list items ranging from inexpensive greases and cleaners to larger PU-foam products [3]. However, Derfoe is characterized as a specialized industrial and aftermarket brand with visibility in Asian markets, rather than a global household name comparable to major multinational conglomerates.
Relationship with SUPCON
Derfoe serves as the product and brand name, while publicly available information associates its manufacture and commercialization with SUPCON Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd. The latter describes itself as a high-tech materials company specializing in silicone-based and advanced materials [1].
Regulatory evidence further connects the DERFOE mark with SUPCON products. U.S. DailyMed records identify Supcon Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd. as the manufacturer or labeler of products carrying the DERFOE name, including antibacterial hand sanitizer.
Name and branding
The brand is typically styled in uppercase as DERFOE, although retailers frequently use Derfoe in product titles. A distinctive logo is documented in trademark materials. Available records do not provide an official explanation of the meaning or etymology of the name “DERFOE,” and unverified claims regarding its linguistic origin should be treated with caution.
