Calyxia appoints IMCD EMEA Distributor – Epoxy Accelerators

Calyxia, a pioneer in advanced and sustainable microcapsules, has entered into a strategic distribution agreement with IMCD, a leading global partner for the distribution and formulation of specialty chemicals and ingredients. This partnership grants IMCD exclusive rights to distribute Calyxia’s Catalyx™ H product range in the EMEA region across adhesives, coatings and bonding of electrical and electronic compounds, accelerating the adoption of smarter, more sustainable epoxy systems. Calyxia has selected IMCD Group as its distribution partner, recognizing IMCD’s market reach through its global network of laboratories and sales teams, technical expertise, and proven market leadership across multiple industries.

The Innovation Behind Catalyx™ H

Epoxies are widely used in coatings and adhesives for their excellent chemical resistance, durability, and adhesion. Traditional epoxy formulations in coatings often force a trade-off between fast curing and long shelf life, slowing throughput, increasing cold-chain dependency, and generating costly waste.

Calyxia’s Catalyx™ H microcapsules eliminate this compromise.

• Ambient-stable latency with rapid, on-demand cure
• No refrigeration or cold-chain logistics required
• Enhanced throughput, lower energy use, reduced scrap
• Full compatibility with existing manufacturing infrastructure

Using Calyxia’s patented double-emulsion microcapsule technology, Catalyx™ H enables formulators to unlock previously unattainable performance, cost and sustainability benefits.

Jamie Walters, CEO and co-founder of Calyxia, comments: “We are excited to join forces with IMCD to bring our new Catalyx™ H microcapsules to even more markets in EMEA. Combining IMCD’s market understanding with Calyxia’s cutting-edge product technology and solutions, I am convinced that we will accelerate our global impact and bring new speed, reliability, sustainability and cost benefits to the fast-growing epoxy markets.”

Jerome Bollard, Global Technical Director Coatings & Construction comments: “Showcasing and promoting the benefits of Calyxia products to our EMEA customer base is

what IMCD has to offer. We are excited to add the unique Calyxia technologies to our wide portfolio and join forces together to capture market opportunities in the epoxy market.”
