Solvay signed a global distribution agreement with Strem Chemicals Inc., a manufacturer of high-purity specialty products, to fulfill commercial sampling and research requests for its specialty phosphorus products.

 

The agreement covers a range of products from the ALBRITE, AMGARD, CYPHOS, CYPHOS IL, CYTOP and RHODAPHOS product lines, which are developed and manufactured by the Technology Solutions global business unit. These products find utility in applications as catalysts and catalyst ligands, extraction reagents, electronic materials, genomics reagents and in various materials/formulations. Solvay’s products offer the unique benefits and behaviors of phosphorus-based technologies, including high thermal stability, tunable solubility, electronic and steric properties, strong reducing capabilities, chirality and more.

 

The partnership brings Solvay’s leading-edge phosphorus portfolio to Strem’s customers, while Solvay and its customers benefit from Strem’s good standing in the scientific community, top-notch sampling and packaging, broad product range and superior customer service.

 

“Strem’s approach is well aligned with Solvay’s,” commented Eamonn Conrad, Phosphorus Specialties Global Business Development Manager for Solvay’s Technology Solutions global business unit. “Like Solvay, the company is committed to providing high-purity phosphorus specialty chemicals, short lead times enabled by its global supply chain and strong technical support. We look forward to working with Strem and helping their customers solve technical challenges and unlock new business opportunities.”

Honig, Chief Executive Officer at Strem Chemicals. “Strem serves many of the same end-use markets and applications with phosphorus-based chemicals, and we are pleased to be able to offer high-quality, commercial-grade products for our worldwide R&D customers and their early product development projects.
