Brenntag Specialties recently announced a partnership with Calyxia to distribute the company’s microcapsules-based solutions to Brenntag Specialties customers around the world. Customers in the Material Science markets can now also access innovative products from Calyxia. The Calyxia products now available to Brenntag customers include Catalyx™ H encapsulated accelerators for epoxy systems and Calyshield™ L encapsulated lubricants. 

Calyxia’s Catalyx H microcapsules offer ambient-stable latency with rapid, on-demand cure for epoxy formulations. This negates the use of cold-chain logistics, enhances throughput, lowers energy use and reduces scrap. The products are fully compatible with existing manufacturing infrastructure. This enables formulators to unlock previously unattainable performance, cost and sustainability benefits.

Calyshield L is a PFAS- and silicone-lubricant replacement designed to overcome key challenges in lubrication in coatings and elastomers, ensuring controlled release, enhanced abrasion resistance, and long-lasting performance, while fully protecting the lubricant throughout processing. It is engineered for seamless incorporation in a wide range of coating systems and formulations, making it highly versatile across industries.

Koen Linsen, global marketing director CASE, Material Science Brenntag Specialties, explained, "Representing and showcasing the benefits of Calyxia products to our global customer base is the core of what Brenntag Specialties has to offer. We are delighted to add the unique Calyxia technologies to our portfolio and work together to capture market opportunities in CASE and composite applications around the world."

Jamie Walters, CEO and co-founder of Calyxia, said, "Combining Brenntag’s applications and market understanding with Calyxia’s cutting-edge product technology and solutions, I am convinced that we will accelerate our global impact and bring new speed, reliability, sustainability and cost benefits to the fast-growing markets these products can serve."
