Univar Solutions USA LLC, a leading global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and chemicals, announced that Univar Solutions and its Canadian affiliate, Univar Solutions Canada Ltd., (the Ingredients + Specialties division from Univar Solutions) have been appointed the exclusive distributors in the United States and Canada for select BASF specialty ingredients used in industrial applications. The expanded partnership between the two companies aims to provide customers with a significant advantage through access to an extensive portfolio of these essential ingredients: Capromer, 1,6-Hexanediol (HDO) molten and flakes, and epsilon-caprolactone. These ingredients are used across a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications, including polymers, plastics, coatings, and adhesives.
Capromer, HDO, and epsilon-caprolactone compounds are frequently selected by formulators as starting materials and building blocks in the development of high performing coatings, plastics, textile fibers, and other industrial products. They are recognized as versatile chemistries that impart durability, flexibility, weather resistance. HDO is used to manufacture industrial coatings including lower volatile organic compound (VOC) formulations, polyurethanes, and adhesives. HDO is also present in the formulation of epoxy systems, which are used for the production of rotor blades for wind turbines and construction components for automotive lightweight applications.
This distribution partnership focuses on providing customers with the tools and insights to try to tackle complex technical challenges head-on. Learn more about the chemistries and innovative technical solutions that we’re delivering to meet the demands of today’s customers.
