Dear Ms. Long:

In accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Platform Specialty Products Corporation (the “Registrant”) respectfully requests acceleration of the effective date of its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-192778), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), so that it may become effective at 11:30am Eastern Standard Time on January 22, 2014, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Registrant hereby acknowledges that:

(i) should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

(ii) the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

(iii) the company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
