The versatility, performance and adaptability of Diexter-G, Isoexter and Hydroexter make them well-suited for use in a wide range of applications, from industrial and polyurethane coatings, adhesives, and sealants to resin synthesis and color dispersions. Polyesters are used in CAS applications for mechanical properties, flexibility and impact resistance, adhesion, solvent, oil, fuel and oxidation resistance, abrasion and chip resistance, weatherability and UV resistance. “This new partnership with Univar Solutions will allow even more customers in the United States and Canada to benefit from COIM’s unique, industry-leading product development, technical support and manufacturing experience in polyester polyol materials,” said Robert Tauchen, vice president, polyurethanes at COIM USA.
