Oxea, IMCD extend partnership

GLOBAL chemical company Oxea and Dutch chemical distributor IMCD are extending their partnership for the distribution of Amines in Europe. 

 

The new contract between the two companies, which starts in April and follows two years of successful co-operation, will allow IMCD to distribute Oxea’s TCD Diamine in Europe. 

 

TCD Diamine is a high-performance epoxy resin hardener in surface coating systems and specialty adhesives. Oxea will promote the product in its booth in hall 1, stand 516, at the European Coatings Show in Nuremberg, Germany, which will be held from April 21 to 23.

 

A recent study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM in Bremen, Germany reveals TCD Diamine has yielded very favorable results for epoxy-based adhesive technologies. The findings of the study will likewise be presented at Oxea’s booth at the European Coatings Show.

 

According to Oxea European Marketing manager Michael Harbich, the expansion of the pan-European distribution partnership with IMCD to include TCD Diamine is part of Oxea’s strategy to grow its derivatives business further. 

 

“Over the past two years the co-operation with IMCD has continued to exceed expectations on both sides. Thanks to IMCD we have significantly widened the scope of our European customer base,” Mr. Harbich said. 

 

Dr. Stephen Rosenthal, Market manager at IMCD, said: “It is a very exciting opportunity for IMCD to build on its existing successful partnership with Oxea for the distribution of Amines. We are confident that the new contract for TCD Diamine will further strengthen our product portfolio and allow customers from the coatings and adhesives industries in Europe to look to IMCD for all of their formulation needs.”
