UZWIL -- Buhler expands its distribution network for OXYLINK: CheMarCo will represent the product line in the Southeastern States of the USA. As one of the Southeasts premier specialty chemical raw materials distributors, the new partner will strengthen and expand the Oxylink business of the Buhler Nanotechnology business unit in this territory.

Buhler and CheMarCo have signed a distribution agreement for the additive series Oxylink of Buhler. CheMarco will represent the specialty additive in its territory, the Southeastern States of the USA. Oxy-link is an additive designed for waterborne resin systems, such as coatings, paints, inks, adhesives, and sealants. The product is manufactured by the Nanotechnology business unit of Buhler and targets industrial producers. With CheMarCo, Buhler has been able to win a premier distributor for specialty chemical raw materials. Buhler is convinced that the focus on technical expertise of its new partner will be the decisive factor for a successful expansion of its Oxylink business.

Oxylink is a performance additive that improves waterborne resin systems in the areas of solvent resistance, blocking resistance, humidity resistance, and drying time. With its Oxylink technology, Buhler is aiming at a sustainable development of environmentally friendly, low-VOC coating systems.

Martin Carter, President of CheMarCo points out: "CheMarCo is proud to partner with Buhler to bring a new generation of innovative additives to our customers. We are excited about the new venture and are looking forward to developing new business for the Oxylink products."
