MOSCOW (MRC) -- Solvay says it has signed a worldwide distribution agreement with Strem Chemicals (Newburyport, Massachusetts), a manufacturer of specialty products, to fulfill commercial sampling and research requests for Solvay's specialty phosphorus products, said Chemweek.
The agreement covers a range of products developed and manufactured by Solvay’s technology solutions, used in applications such as catalysts and catalyst ligands, extraction reagents, electronic materials, genomics reagents, and in various materials/formulations, the company says.
"Like Solvay, [Strem] is committed to providing high-purity phosphorus specialty chemicals, short lead times enabled by its global supply chain, and strong technical support," says Eamonn Conrad, development manager/phosphorus specialties, technology solutions at Solvay.
Ephraim Honig, CEO at Strem Chemicals, says, "Strem serves many of the same end-use markets and applications with phosphorus-based chemicals our customers will now be able to start their projects by sourcing phosphorus-based Solvay chemicals from Strem."
As MRC informed earlier, Solvay SA said it will close two plants making composites for Airbus SE and Boeing Co. in a sign the deepening aerospace crisis is hitting suppliers of even the latest aircraft materials. The Belgian chemical maker is adding to savings achieved in the past year following the grounding of Boeing’s 737 Max.
As MRC informed earlier, Russia's output of chemical products rose in June 2020 by 2.6% year on year. However, production of basic chemicals increased year on year by 4.9% in the first six months of 2020. According to the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, polymers in primary form accounted for the greatest increase in the output in January-June. Production of benzene was 106,000 tonnes in June 2020, compared to 110,000 tonnes a month earlier. Overall output of this product reached 721,000 tonnes over the stated period, up by 3.9% year on year.
