Exploring the materials that move the world forward, one everyday moment at a time.
Materials that Matter reflects our belief that every material, decision, and partnership can create meaningful impact. It highlights the essential role materials play in building a stronger, smarter, more connected world, and the value of the science behind them. Performance Materials, part of the Ingredients & Specialties business at Univar Solutions, anchors this expertise that turns material science into real world outcomes. From longer-lasting products to more efficient manufacturing, the outcomes speak for themselves.
It really is a story of purpose, proving that when materials matter, progress follows.
Within Performance Materials, this idea becomes something you can see and feel. Our teams work at the point where supplier innovation meets customer need, looking downstream to understand how materials show up in the world: protecting surfaces, adding comfort and resilience, reducing wear, and more. Every product starts with a choice, and we are here to help inform those choices.
Below, you can explore the industries supported within Performance Materials.
Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers and Rubber & Plastics – CASE
CASE covers the materials behind so many of the products and environments your business touches every day. If you work with coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, or rubber and plastic additives, this is your space. In this area, materials matter because they influence reliability, finish, safety, and the overall experience of the products you create.
Lubricants, metalworking fluids, greases - LMWF
Lubricants and metalworking fluids play a role in more of your daily operations than most people realize. If you formulate, blend, test, or rely on fluids to keep equipment running, parts moving, or machining operations under control, this is where you belong. Here, materials matter because they shape reliability, performance, efficiency, and the overall quality of the products you deliver.
Industrial Technologies
Industrial Technologies represents a foundational line of business enabling multiple adjacent markets & applications to be developed by both our customers and supplier partners. It covers the materials and chemistries that power a wide range of industries- often behind the scenes, but essential to how products perform.
Have you met our Technical Superheroes?
Every day, our technical teams step into the role of quiet superheroes by experimenting, testing, problem solving, and pushing materials to perform better for the people who rely on them. They uncover what works, what doesn’t, and why, translating supplier innovation into practical answers. From the lab bench to the plant floor, they’re the ones ensuring materials do exactly what they’re meant to do.
Across everything above, we keep it simple and connected. When you’re ready for specifications, formulations, or supplier lineups, you’ll find them on our dedicated industry pages.
