Univar Solutions and Dow have expanded their partnership for construction silicone product distribution across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).  

The move aims to provide customers in these regions with a wider range of construction silicone products. 

These are known for their durability and protective qualities in challenging environmental conditions. 

The products are designed to extend the life of various substrates and building materials, reduce maintenance expense and time, as well as improve the overall aesthetic appeal. 

This product range is expected to meet the growing demand within the construction sector for materials that can withstand extreme weather, UV radiation, and other environmental factors.  

Univar Solutions is a global speciality chemical and ingredient distributor while Dow is a material sciences company. 

The Essen Solution Center, operated by Univar Solutions, offers technical expertise and works closely with suppliers such as Dow to develop advanced solutions for the construction industry.  

The latest partnership is also aimed at developing construction solutions using Dow's silicone resins and eco-friendly building materials to offer customised customer support. 

Univar Solutions Performance Materials global vice-president Matthew Oliver said: “We are excited about the new opportunities that will arise as we continue deepening our partnership with Dow and grow our portfolio of silicone products that are critical to the construction market. 

“Our collaboration over many years has been a cornerstone of our success, and we are proud to continue working together to develop more sustainable, innovative solutions that meet the growing needs of the construction market."
