US thermoplastics resin distributor Nexeo Plastics (The Woodlands, Texas; www.nexeoplastics.com) said it has signed a European distribution agreement for polyamide 6 products with STFG Filamente, a Germany-based affiliate of Russian chemical company KuibyshevAzot (Togliatti; www.kuazot.ru). The German unit recently started producing compounds at its plant in Rudolstadt (see Plasteurope.com of 22.09.2020).

Nexeo plans to carry and distribute “Volgamid ECO-line” products, said to be environmentally friendly solutions that help reduce carbon emissions and offer end users a circular economy manufacturing option. The “G6A” grade is a mostly prime-recycled material mix, and “G6B” uses 100% recycled materials, Nexeo noted. The distributor added that it will also offer KuibyshevAzot’s standard PA 6 compounds as well as unreinforced and lubricated “BXD” materials.

Nexeo announced recently that it signed a European distribution agreement for engineering thermoplastic products made by Chinese compounder Kingfa (Guangzhou, Guangdong; www.kingfa.com – see Plasteurope.com of 26.10.2020).
