MWV Specialty Chemicals Signs Distribution Agreements with Azelis

Azelis will distribute MWV Diacid 1550 in all European countries excluding Germany. Diacid 1550 is designed to provide excellent performance as a hydrotrope and surfactant in soaps and detergents, a wetting and lubricity agent in metalworking fluids and a chemical intermediate. Its engineered carboxylic acid bi-functionality provides versatility not commonly seen with bi-functional monomers.

"We are committed to the European market, a highly innovative region with strong needs of sustainable technologies," said Francois Vleugels, Managing Director EMEA, MWV Specialty Chemicals. "We will become the preferred partner of those innovative formulators looking for specialized and renewable solutions. This partnership is an essential complement to our own expanding sales force."

"Azelis has recently formed a new lubricant and metalworking fluids department including a new laboratory, providing the extra focus needed to support this fast growing market," says Hans-Joachim Müller, Azelis CEO.
