Univar adds rheology additives to its distribution portfolio
Univar Ltd. has announced its distributorship for the Luvotix® range of rheology additives from Lehmann & Voss. The appointment is as official distributor of the products throughout the United Kingdom.
Hamburg-based Lehmann & Voss & Co is a chemical company specialising in polymer additives and pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredients. Its Luvotix products, based both on castor oil and polyamide derivatives are thixotropic agents for coatings, sealants and polyester putties. Used in both solvent-based and solvent-free systems they enable the adjustment of flow properties for good sag resistance and levelling on vertical surfaces.
“We had identified a gap in our portfolio for this type of rheology modifier,” says Keith Meakin, Product Manager Univar’s Coatings, Construction & Composites Division. “Winning the distributorship for this leading brand further enhances our offering to customers and allows the provision of more comprehensive solutions for formulators.”
