Effective January 17, 2023, ION Specialties will represent Orion’s specialty carbon black product lines for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, and plastics throughout Mexico.
For Elementis and Grolman Group, this agreement represents an extension of a decades-long collaboration. Since 2012, Grolman Group has been the exclusive distributor for the Elementis talc range in more than 25 countries. In 2021, the companies extended this relationship to additives in France, and to the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2022.
The agreement strengthens Azelis’ portfolio of pigment products in the coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE), and advanced materials & additives (AM&A) markets in France and Benelux. It includes the pigment portfolio that Sun Chemical acquired from BASF in 2021, and is an expansion of the long-standing partnership between Sun Chemical and Azelis.
Zschimmer & Schwarz Interpolymer (Canton, Massachusetts) has announced a distribution partnership to represent its paint and coatings range of products in the Western and Southwestern region of the United States.
The partnership will provide a broader portfolio of high-performance polymers and pigment dispersions to coatings manufacturers, while continuing to offer enhanced technological expertise and exceptional formulation support.
The partnership will "provide customers with formulation and application solutions to take a leading position in the polyurethane market,” said Anna Diretto, Vencorex regional sales manager for the United States and Canada.
Palmer Holland will be a channel partner in the United States and Canada for the company's Purmol line of molecular sieves. Purmol powders are excellent moisture scavengers for polyurethane coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers.
This portfolio addition enables Azelis to further grow its footprint in the Indian industrial chemicals market, while also building upon the successful distribution partnership between the two companies.
