Univar Solutions Inc. announced its selection as Patcham USA, LLC's exclusive distribution partner of PATcat™ metal catalysts in the United States. Patcham's metal catalysts, both tin and tin-free, are used to improve the properties of polyurethane systems and will complement Univar Solutions' strong polyurethane additives portfolio. PATcat catalysts are widely used by formulators in a range of industrial applications.

As general purpose and fast-acting substances they are designed to accelerate the speed of chemical reactions and impact curing properties to produce high quality polyurethane adhesives. Tin free catalysts compounds are viewed as efficient and versatile alternatives that may be more environmentally accepted.
