Solvay Specialty Polymers last week announced that effective April 1, 2016 it has appointed Rotterdam-based IMCD N.V. as its distribution partner for the lubrication grades of Fomblin® PFPE on an EMEA basis.

Fomblin® PFPE are fluorinated lubricants best used in aggressive chemical and high heat environments. While they can be used in their original form, they are often formulated into greases for specific applications in the chemical, electronic, military, nuclear, data processing and other industries that require high performance lubrication.

Vincent Meunier, Solvay’s Channel Partners Manager EMEA Specialty Polymers, commented “IMCD provides professional, specialist support and has demonstrated extensive expertise in the fields of lubrication for more than a decade. Their dedicated team of technical sales staff understands the customers, their processes and technologies. We are confident that this approach will help to increase customers’ overall satisfaction level with the purchase of our Fomblin® PFPE products.”
