Distributor Spotlight: Shepherd’s Exclusive Partnership with Everchem
As a leading global metal chemistry manufacturer, Shepherd relies on key partnerships to help boost product awareness and distribution.

Everchem prides itself on providing invaluable market intel and superior service which creates mutual benefit and value to customers and suppliers alike.

The Future of BiCAT Polyurethane Catalysts is Bright
Shepherd is considered a market leader when it comes to current and next-generation polyurethane catalysts. It was the first to develop hydrolytically stable bismuth carboxylate chemistry for use in HFO blowing agents, which reduces VOC’s and improves curing rates amongst other enhancements. This technological breakthrough earned Shepherd the 2016 CPI (The Center for The Polyurethanes Industry) Polyurethane Innovation Award.

Through this arrangement, BiCAT® products are finding new markets, new customers, and new applications which only enhance the historically strong Shepherd brand.
