Global Solutions

Our Vision- To be the world’s most innovative supplier of solutions to the polymer industry- To be our customers’ first choice as a committed supplier- To offer the best cost-performance solutions through real innovation- To invest in line with our customers’ growth strategies- To offer the best service locally through integrated plants and supply chains

We are a leading supplier of coupling agents, compatibilizers andimpact modifiers which improve the physical characteristics of manythermoplastic polymers including rigidity, strength and durability tomeet the most demanding customer and consumer requirements.

Our products are used to enhance most major thermoplasticmaterials: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Styrene BlockCopolymers (SBC, SEBS, SIS), Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN),Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyesters (PBT,PET), Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Polyamides (PA),Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE) and Polyphenylene Ether(PPE) and we are committed to offering the broadest and bestrange of products in the industry.

Our ProductsAs one of the world’s top providers ofpolymer modifiers, our Polybond® productsimprove mechanical properties of glass andmineral filled polyolefins,polypropylene/clay nanocomposites,wood/plastic composites and improvedispersion in polyolefin masterbatches andflame retardant compounds. Theseproducts are also used to improvepolyolefin/metal adhesion, polyolefin/inkadhesion and in coextrusion tie layers.Royaltuf® impact modifiers are widely usedto toughen polyamides and provide afavorable balance of properties, includingexcellent room temperature and lowtemperature impact.

We appreciate that our success also relies on being an easy company to workwith. This is why we have established multiple production sites, sales andtechnical offices and laboratories around the world, to bring us close to ourcustomers in all the regions, offering better service and shorter lead times. As our customers invest heavily in the new, emerging markets, we have beenfocusing especially on our structure in those regions to guarantee service levels.

Our new technical application centre in China is thelatest example to add to our existing locations in theMiddle East, South Korea, USA, Brazil, Europe andTaiwan. We have also consolidated our CustomerCare and shipping points and ensured we field ahighly trained sales and distribution team.

Technical supportOur global network of technical experts are not only specialists in polymerapplications, they are also specialized in using 6 Sigma and Lean Technology tohelp customers solve production or processing problems, and will traincustomers to use these tools for the future.

Committed to future growthChemtura is committed to growing its Antioxidantand UV Stabilizer Solutions business. We continuethe expansion of our manufacturing plants, mostrecently investing in expansions in the Middle East,South Korea and France with future expansionsplanned for our polymer modifiers.

Our continued investment in innovation isparamount with an exciting channel of new andinnovative technology currently underdevelopment. We have consolidated our NorthAmerican R&D facilities at our Morgantown, WVmanufacturing site to create our PolymerModifier R&D Center of Excellence, whichincludes state of the art development andanalytical testing equipment.

Regulatory compliance and corporate responsibilityChemtura is committed to the concept of Sustainable Development – to minimizethe imprint that our operations and businesses leave on our collective health andsafety and on the environment.

Investment in regulatory compliance and advocacy, including REACH*, is apriority. We commit resources to support this, maintaining a strong regulatoryteam and actively participating in industry advocacy groups. In short, we careabout the future…for all of us.
