Teckrez and Avachem, combining strengths in adhesive resins and polyamides, have formed a partnership to bring SIQ polyamides to the North American market. SIQ's technology, manufacturing capability, and commitment combined with Teckrez and Avachem market expertise results in the most focused and capable provider of polyamides in North America.

SIQ is one of the world's fastest-growing manufacturers of advanced technology dimer-based polyamides, including a top notch line of hot melt adhesive grades (ink, coating and epoxy hardeners are also areas of SIQ strength).

Thermoplastic hot melt polyamides are well known as high performance adhesives which offer the following outstanding characteristics:

• High green strength / fast setup
• Heat resistance
• Chemical and plasticizer resistance
• Adhesion to porous and non-porous (plastics, metals, etc.) substrates
• Excellent low temperature performance

SIQ, in partnership with Teckrez and Avachem, brings the best in service, innovation, quality and high performance polyamide capabilities in meeting specific customer needs.
