Actylis Partners with Aarti Industries to Expand PCBTF Supply in North America

Strategic Alliance Enhances Chemical Industry Reach 

Actylis has entered into a new partnership with Aarti Industries Limited to strengthen its chemical supply chain in North America. Also, under this agreement, Actylis will distribute a high-performance solvent called PCBTF (para-chlorobenzotrifluoride) in the North American market. Moreover, this partnership is focused on serving important industrial sectors such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE), and chemical intermediates. These industries require solvents that deliver strong performance, stability, and compatibility with different materials used in manufacturing.

Furthermore, the idea behind this collaboration is to improve the availability of PCBTF in North America through a reliable supply network. Also, the Aarti Industries, being the manufacturer, will ensure consistent production and supply, while Actylis will handle distribution and market access in the region.

PCBTF is described as a high-performance aromatic solvent. It is widely used because it has a strong dissolving ability and works well with many types of resins. This makes it suitable for multiple industrial applications such as coatings, inks, adhesives, industrial cleaning products, and agrochemical-related uses. Moreover, through this partnership, customers in North America will get easier access to the product along with better supply stability. One of the main advantages is that Aarti Industries has a strong integrated manufacturing system, which helps ensure reliable production and supply security.

According to Towards Chemicals & Materials, the chemical intermediate market size accounted for USD 310.19 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 328.34 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 547.69 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 5.85% from 2026 to 2035, due to increased solvent demand globally.

Furthermore, this partnership strengthens the presence of Aarti Industries in the North American chemical market and expands Actylis’s product portfolio. Moreover, it also supports industries that depend on high-performance solvents by ensuring better availability, technical support, and supply reliability.
