Azelis is pleased to announce it has signed a distribution agreement with Gabriel Performance Products to offer their range of phenoxy resins. The pan-European agreement, which came into effect in 2016, also includes the mercaptans range of epoxy curing agents as of February 2017.
The high performance resins enhance the properties in applications such as container coatings, adhesives, inks, composites, fibers, plastics, electronic components and many other products. The mercaptans epoxy curing agents have exceptionally rapid cure speed and hardness development properties for DIY consumer, automotive, construction and concrete markets and various other industrial products.
Michel Dumusois, Market Segment Director CASE at Azelis, comments: “We are delighted to partner with Gabriel, the world’s leading source of phenoxy resins and the only authorised source in Europe. Phenoxys are tough, clear and flexible thermoplastics with high cohesive strength and good impact resistance.
