Effective immediately, German chemicals distributor Gustav Grolman (Neuss; www.grolman-group.com) will begin marketing BASF‘s (Ludwigshafen / Germany; www.basf.com) “Baxxodur” amine-based curing agents in Europe. The agreement initially focuses on Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Ireland and the UK.

The range is used in epoxy resin-based applications such as thermosetting laminates, floor coatings, corrosion protection varnish as well as composite materials. Aside from the construction industry, other key end markets include the automotive, marine, aerospace and industrial sectors.

Grolman said the addition of “Baxxodur” complements its existing portfolio of resins, accelerators, flame retardants as well as fibre and filler wetting agents.
