German-based chemical group Oxea has expanded its European distribution agreement fir amines with Dutch distributor IMCD. At the beginning of April, IMCD began distributing Oxea's TCD diamine, a high performance epoxy hardener for specialty adhesives and surface coatings.

The decision to continue the partnership with IMCD reflects Oxea's success in expanding its customer base over the past two years, said the company's European Marketing Manager Michael Harbich. ICMD market manager Stephen Rosenthal said the extended distribution pact with Oxea will strengthen his company's portfolio and enable it to cover the special formulation needs of customers in the European coatings and adhesives sectors.
