IMCD to expand its plastic additives partnership with Dow

IMCD NV, the Dutch chemical distribution company, has expanded its partnership with Dow Europe GmbH for Paraloid impact modifiers and Surecel processing aids into the DACH region (Germany, Austria & Switzerland) and the UK. This extension takes effect from March 1, 2015 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and from June 1, 2015 in the UK. This is an extension of a long existing partnership in a number of other European territories and complements the recent appointment of IMCD by Dow on a Pan-European basis for the Tyrin chlorinated polyethylene range.
 
Paraloid, Tyrin and Surecel are impact modifiers and processing aids used in a wide range of rigid PVC and engineering resin applications, offering an excellent balance of impact efficiency, processability and melt elasticity.
 
Marcus Jordan, director group development of IMCD, commented, “We are delighted to further expand our successful plastic additives partnership with Dow into a number of additional countries. As a global supplier of plastic additives offering industry leading products and innovative solutions to customers, the Dow range is an exciting addition to our current portfolio and will enable us to further penetrate this important market segment.”
