Uzwil, February 24, 2011 – Buhler expands its distribution network for OXYLINK™: CheMarCo will represent the product line in the Southeastern States of the USA. As one of the Southeast's premier specialty chemical raw materials distributors, the new partner will strengthen and expand the Oxylink™ business of the Buhler Nanotechnology business unit in this territory.
Buhler and CheMarCo have signed a distribution agreement for the additive series Oxylink™ of Buhler. CheMarco will represent the specialty additive in its territory, the Southeastern States of the USA. Oxylink™ is an additive designed for waterborne resin systems, such as coatings, paints, inks, adhesives, and sealants. The product is manufactured by the Nanotechnology business unit of Buhler and targets industrial producers. With CheMarCo, Buhler has been able to win a premier distributor for specialty chemical raw materials. Buhler is convinced that the focus on technical expertise of its new partner will be the decisive factor for a successful expansion of its Oxylink™ business.
Oxylink™ is a performance additive that improves waterborne resin systems in the areas of solvent resistance, blocking resistance, humidity resistance, and drying time. With its Oxylink™ technology, Buhler is aiming at a sustainable development of environmentally friendly, low-VOC coating systems.
