Univar to improve the working environment at the European Commission’s Berlaymont building
Univar N.V., one of the world’s leading independent distributors of industrial chemicals and providers of related specialty services, is supplying the secondary heat transfer fluid (HTF) for the HVAC system in one of the best known and most frequently featured structures in Europe, the Berlaymont building which previously housed the European Commission in Brussels.
Over the past two decades architects have increasingly created structural designs, particularly for commercial offices and public buildings, which incorporate cladded exterior surfaces. The aim is to achieve a high level of aesthetic appeal and, generally, those that succeed in this objective share one thing in common. They have perfect surfaces. These façades are free from the spoiling affects of rivets, brackets, screws, weld marks and other unsightly mechanical fixings often used to secure two surfaces together.
The construction industry in the Nordic countries is poised to benefit from a new agreement between Huntsman’s Performance Products division and Univar AB that will see Huntsman’s full range of surfactants being distributed throughout the region by Univar for the first time. The two partners have sampled successfully a number of potential customers with concrete additives and are now in negotiation over long term contracts.
