Palmer Holland to distribute PAGs for Clariant in N. America

Palmer Holland, a specialty chemical and fine ingredient distributor based in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A., has expanded its partnership with Clariant’s Industrial & Consumer Specialties (ICS) division. Clariant is a Swiss multinational speciality chemicals company based in Muttenz, Switzerland.

Palmer Holland will be a channel partner in the U.S.A. and Canada for Clariant ICS’s polyalklyene glycol (PAG) line geared towards the lubricant and grease industries.

Their high thermal and oxidative stability, excellent lubricity, high film strength / load capacity, anti-wear properties, micropitting resistance, and shear stability make them an ideal base stock for formulating high-performance industrial lubricants.
