multilayer barrier film and compatibilizers for compounds
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 13, 2017 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Nexeo Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXEO), a leader in
chemicals and plastics distribution, announced today an agreement
with Yparex B.V., a Dutch-based leading supplier of extrudable
adhesive resins, to distribute products throughout multiple
countries in Europe.
Yparex is a product family of The
Compound Company, whose portfolio includes a full range of
high-quality, high-tech tie-layer resins, coupling agents, and
compatibilizers. Yparex's adhesive resins for multilayer
applications provide exceptional adhesion between many forms of
polyolefin-based polymers and other materials. Yparex® grades show
excellent processing characteristics and are tailored for blow
moulding, blown film, cast film and extrusion coating, as well as
the production of thermoplastic compounds.
"We are excited to have been
nominated Yparex's first pan-European distributor in Europe for
both product ranges," said Shawn Williams, Senior Vice President of
Plastics at Nexeo Solutions. "This partnership gives our customers
access to high-performance adhesives for multilayer barrier
packaging film, as well as solutions for polymer modification that
are applicable across a broad range of industries."
Nexeo Solutions' application
development engineers and commercial teams' combined knowledge and
experience are available to customers to assist customers in
meeting application-specific performance needs, from part design to
material selection and testing.
"Today's packaging applications
demand a number of material properties that cannot be generated by
one single material," said Yparex's General Manager, Wouter van den
Berg. "Therefore, multilayer concepts are widely used in numerous
application areas and industries, including barrier films for food
packaging, industrial films with oxygen barrier, and medical
packaging, . By teaming up with a renowned distributor such as
Nexeo Solutions, we are able to provide even more customers with
our innovations."
Both companies are eager to bring
their innovative solutions to plastic processors' unique challenges
and will be showcasing a full line of products at the Nexeo
Solutions booth A3-3217 in the Fakuma Fair in Friedrichshafen,
Germany from 17 to 21 October 2017.
