Merck has announced a co-operation agreement with durXtreme GmbH of Ulm, Germany. Effective immediately, the coatings specialist will take over Merck’s European business with polysilazane-based coating formulations marketed under the tutoProm brand.
The tutoProm product range was added to the Merck portfolio through the acquisition of AZ Electronic Materials and has been marketed by durXtreme since 2014. DurXtreme is receiving an exclusive five-year license covering manufacturing, commercialisation and brand usage rights for the polysilazane-containing Merck products tutoProm bright, tutoProm matte HD, CAG 37 and CL 1068 in Europe. DurXtreme is an established formulation expert and specialist in customised polysilazane-based high-performance coatings and their applications.
TutoProm is a transparent coating system that allows for an ultra-thin, glass-like finish and lasting soiling protection to smooth, non-suction surfaces. It is applied in the interiors and on the exteriors of public transport for graffiti protection and is also used to protect building façades, ship hulls, classic cars and artworks in public spaces from negative environmental influences.
