Arkema has appointed Hamburg-based
Velox GmbH as distributor for its Graphistrength® multiwall carbon nanotube
products.
In 2006, Arkema inaugurated Europe’s first plant capable of producing
20 tons per year of multiwall carbon nanotubes, and has built a broad product
portfolio for the polymer industry to include the elastomeric, thermoplastic,
thermosetting, coating and adhesive sectors.
Thanks to its intrinsic outstanding mechanical and conductivity properties,
Graphistrength® can be used in numerous applications such as high strength
composite materials, electronic components, conductive coatings, electrode material
for batteries and fuel cells, etc.
Velox will offer the full Graphistrength® product range across Europe (except
in the UK where Hubron Specialty Limited is the appointed distributor). The
range currently includes the pure Graphistrength® products, and the extended
range of masterbatches designed to ease incorporation and maximize Graphistrength®
added value into a whole range of elastomers, thermoplastics, resins and waterborne
applications.
Velox already works closely with other Arkema businesses and distributes OXPEKK®
high performance polyketone from Oxford Performance Materials (OPM), an Arkema
Company.
