Speciality chemicals distributor Gustav Grolman (Neuss / Germany; www.grolman.de) has signed an agreement for the pan-European marketing of Angstron Materials’ (Dayton, Ohio / USA; www.angstronmaterials.com) high-performance graphene products.

The US group purports to be the world’s largest manufacturer of graphene nanomaterials, with capacity of more than 300 t/y. The carbon nano material is used to enhance the electronic, mechanical and thermal properties of plastics, fibres, rubber, composites, coatings, adhesives and batteries.

The distribution arrangement follows news earlier this month that Chinese graphene producer The Sixth Element (Changzhou) Materials Technology Company (T6E, Changzhou, Jiangsu; www.thesixthelement.com.cn) has set up an office in Germany to meet rising demand in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (see Plasteurope.com of 12.08.2016).
