Univar Solutions and Angus expand to European homecare and industrial cleaning market
30 May 2022 --- Chemical and ingredient distributor Univar Solutions is expanding its distribution agreement with home and personal care and chemical company Angus. The deal includes the European homecare and industrial cleaning market. This will allow European formulators to apply the ingredients for cleaning solutions.
“This agreement will further enable Univar Solutions to provide its customers with expanded access to specialty cleaning ingredients alongside comprehensive technical innovation and sourcing support,” explains the company.
Stable amino for formulations
The deal provides cleaning formulators with more comprehensive options from Univar Solution’s portfolio.
“Univar Solutions customers across Europe now have access to Angus’ specialty additives, such as AMP (aminomethyl propanol) and Tris Amino Crystals (tromethamine), which are designed to improve the performance, safety profile and stability of cleaning products, even in the most demanding applications,” says the company.
“Under the expanded agreement, Univar Solutions will also offer ULTRA PC-grades of Angus amino alcohols for homecare and industrial cleaning customers who seek low secondary amine content.”
Angus offers globally registered amino alcohol additives that meet complex high and intensive care (HIC) formulating requirements. This also complements Univar Solutions’ offering of specialty ingredients and solutions.
The agreement adds to Univar Solutions’ relationship with Angus – serving customers in the beauty and personal care and coatings; adhesives, sealants and elastomers (CASE); rubber and plastic additives markets.

“Better performing” solutions across Europe
The distribution agreement will help Univar Solutions to support supply chains and product development across Europe, says Aaron Lee, global VP for homecare and industrial cleaning at Univar Solutions.
“With a vast portfolio of materials from some of the world’s premier specialty and core product suppliers, Univar Solutions can help develop better performing and sustainable solutions for laundry detergents, glass cleaners and other unique applications,” he continues.
“Our portfolio of specialty additives combines better performance with visible, measurable benefits in a range of end uses, from dish, fabric and pet care to heavy-duty surface cleaning,” adds Liam Doherty, SVP Europe, Middle East Africa and India at Angus.
Marking the global expansion
The chemical and ingredient company has also been noted to strengthen its distribution partnership with Dow to distribute Dow Organics’ personal care and beauty brands in Brazil – one of the world’s most considerable beauty and personal care markets.
In March, the company also spotlighted its new Germany-based Solution Center, which targets sustainability across its ingredient supply. The center allows for a wider reach to European markets.
“The latest Solution Center will respond to changing legislation or consumer interest shifts,” Dr. Andrew Mint, director of global solution centers at Univar Solutions, previously told PersonalCareInsights.
In February, the company expanded its Solution Center based in Houston, US, by adding a Homecare and Industrial cleaning lab to amplify technical innovation to offer product testing and application development.
