OPC Polymers

OPC Polymers is a leading North American manufacturer of specialty resins for the coatings and paint industries, operating for over six decades as a family-owned business headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, with a Canadian Sales Division in Toronto, Ontario. The company has established itself as the top manufacturer of monomer-modified alkyds for pain... t and coatings markets and ranks among the region's premier resin suppliers through a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic expansion. Since 2001, OPC Polymers has more than doubled its production and storage capabilities, and in 2009 strengthened its market position through the acquisition of SI Group's Canadian Coatings Resins Business. The company serves coatings manufacturers across North America with a comprehensive product portfolio designed to meet evolving environmental regulations and performance requirements. OPC Polymers has earned an industry reputation for quality control, technical product information, application support, and innovative polymer development, supported by ISO 9001:2008 certification for its quality management system. A key competitive advantage lies in the company's extensive lineup of high-solids, HAPs-free (Hazardous Air Pollutants), and exempt-solvent formulationsamong the most complete in the industrydeveloped through close collaboration with customers to meet or exceed environmental and performance standards. Unlike latex or acrylic resins derived from non-renewable hydrocarbons, OPC Polymers' alkyd products are based on domestically-grown vegetable oils and typically contain 30 to 50 percent renewable resources, positioning the company as a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious manufacturers. The company's operational flexibility, deep product knowledge spanning generations of family stewardship, and comprehensive understanding of customer challenges enable OPC Polymers to deliver cost-effective solutions that help customers meet marketplace demands while maintaining strict environmental compliance.Read More
