Azelis to distribute Phillips Carbon Black product line in Europe

Antwerp-based specialty chemical distributor Azelis has announced a new agreement whereby it will distribute the Orient and Royale brands of carbon black from Phillips Carbon Black in Western Europe beginning in October 2013. Phillips is India’s largest carbon black producer and the sixth largest worldwide, with four plants and nearly 500 KT of annual capacity. PCBL’s products have already been available in Europe but this agreement transfers distribution to Azelis. The agreement includes grades for the rubber industry, plastics (pipes, films, fibers), printing inks and coatings, and conductive materials.
