The agreement includes the countries of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

Elverson, Pennsylvania-based Laurel Products specializes in producing micronized fluoropolymer additives based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and perfluoroalkoxy polymers. The additives are offered both in powder form as well as in various carrier fluids.
