Effective April 1, 2020, IMCD N.V., headquartered in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), will be marketing and distributing Röhm’s entire portfolio of acrylic-based CYROLITE® copolymers and CYROLITE® MD products for the medical device and diagnostics markets in Europe except Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Röhm is a technology leader for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) molding compounds. Its CYROLITE® products are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the medical and diagnostic devices and have proven successful in a wide range of applications for over 40 years.
For this new collaboration, Röhm is teaming up with IMCD, a market-leader in the sales, marketing and distribution of speciality chemicals and food ingredients.

CYROLITE® products are transparent, impact-modified thermoplastic molding compounds specially developed for medical technology.

All CYROLITE® product grades are BPA free and biocompatible in compliance with USP Class VI and ISO 10993-1. The main applications for these products are in disposable medical device and diagnostics components, such as, infusion and catheter accessories, as well as blood/plasma separators, chest drainage, filters and diagnostics cassettes.
“Our customers will benefit from IMCD’s great service and extended supply chain network. IMCD is a leading distributor that we can count on with excellent knowledge of the market and sales expertise,” says Sergio Corbella, Director Medical Europe within the Business Unit Molding Compounds of Röhm.
