GROVE, Ill., April 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Univar Solutions Inc. (NYSE:

solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and
chemicals, today announced its selection as Patcham
USA, LLC's exclusive distribution

tin-free, are used to improve the properties of polyurethane
systems and will complement Univar Solutions' strong polyurethane
additives portfolio.
Univar Solutions Named Exclusive
Distributor of Patcham USA
"We're excited to work closely with Patcham and appreciate the
trust placed in Univar Solutions," said Chris Fitzgerald, global vice president, CASE,
Rubber and Plastic Additives for Univar Solutions. "With this
agreement for PATcat catalysts, not only are we enhancing our
versatile, high-performance polyurethane systems product line, but
more importantly we're providing customers access to our extensive
sales team, application-specific technical support, and broad
complementary product portfolio, helping drive new growth
opportunities."
PATcat catalysts are widely used by formulators in a range of
industrial applications. As general purpose and fast-acting

reactions and impact curing properties to produce high quality
polyurethane adhesives. Tin free catalysts compounds are viewed as
efficient and versatile alternatives that may be more
environmentally accepted.
