DSM Engineering Plastics signs distribution agreement with Resinet to strengthen its presence in Brazil.DSM Engineering Plastics and Resinet have entered into a distribution agreement, to join forces in the market development and sales of DSM Engineering Plastics resins in Brazil.
With the ongoing trend towards the replacement of PA66 with PA6, DSM will support this agreement in Brazil by offering global grades of products including Akulon® PA6, Stanyl® PA46 and Arnitel® TPC. Stanyl® PA46, new to the Brazilian market, offers outstanding resistance to wear and high temperatures for both automotive and electrical/electronic applications. Koen Devits, President DSM EP Americas, said: “These products will now be easily available to Brazilian customers through Resinet”. DSM is commercializing innovative, more sustainable polymers that create greater value with less environmental impact, including EcoPaXX™ PA410, a bio-based, high performance resin that is carbon neutral from ‘cradle to gate’, and Arnitel® Eco, a high performance thermoplastic copolyester (TPC) made from 20 to 50 percent renewable resources, both of which will be available to the Brazilian market in the short term. The partnership with Resinet seals the possibility and makes real the strength of DSM Engineering Plastics in the Brazilian marketplace which is in line with DSM´s strategy to deliver value for existing and new customers world-wide.
