Croda Acquires Arizona Chemical's Specialty Products Business

Croda International has acquired Arizona Chemical's specialty products business in Jacksonville, Florida.

The acquisition brings Croda a portfolio of oil gelling polymers, further expanding Croda's footprint in the polymers arena, while strengthening Croda's position in speciality chemicals from renewable resources. The technologies of the acquired business are naturally derived polyamides with high bio-renewable content, presently marketed as Sylvacleartm, Sylvasoltm, Unicleartm and Sylvageltm.

Croda will immediately commence the transition of these products into its portfolio, including the transfer of production to an existing Croda manufacturing site in Europe.
