Our Vision
- To be the worlds 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

Our Products
We are a leading supplier of coupling agents, compatibilizers and impact modifiers which improve the physical characteristics of many thermoplastic polymers including rigidity, strength and durability to meet the most demanding customer and consumer requirements. Our products are used to enhance most major thermoplastic materials: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Styrene Block Copolymers (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 best range of products in the industry. As one of the worlds top providers of polymer modifiers, our Polybond products improve mechanical properties of glass and mineral filled polyolefins, polypropylene/clay nanocomposites, wood/plastic composites and improve dispersion in polyolefin masterbatches and flame retardant compounds. These products are also used to improve polyolefin/metal adhesion, polyolefin/ink adhesion and in coextrusion tie layers. Royaltuf impact modifiers are widely used to toughen polyamides and provide a favorable balance of properties, including excellent room temperature and low temperature impact.

Service Worldwide
We appreciate that our success also relies on being an easy company to work with. This is why we have established multiple production sites, sales and technical offices and laboratories around the world, to bring us close to our customers in all the regions, offering better service and shorter lead times. As our customers invest heavily in the new, emerging markets, we have been focusing especially on our structure in those regions to guarantee service levels. Our new technical application centre in China is the latest example to add to our existing locations in the Middle East, South Korea, USA, Brazil, Europe and Taiwan. We have also consolidated our Customer Care and shipping points and ensured we field a highly trained sales and distribution team.

Emerging Regions Manufacturing Centers Technical Centers Regional Headquarters Sales & Customer Care Offices

Technical support
Our global network of technical experts are not only specialists in polymer applications, they are also specialized in using 6 Sigma and Lean Technology to help customers solve production or processing problems, and will train customers to use these tools for the future.

Committed to future growth

Chemtura is committed to growing its Antioxidant and UV Stabilizer Solutions business. We continue the expansion of our manufacturing plants, most recently investing in expansions in the Middle East, South Korea and France with future expansions planned for our polymer modifiers. Our continued investment in innovation is paramount with an exciting channel of new and innovative technology currently under development. We have consolidated our North American R&D facilities at our Morgantown, WV manufacturing site to create our Polymer Modifier R&D Center of Excellence, which includes state of the art development and analytical testing equipment.

Regulatory compliance and corporate responsibility

Chemtura is committed to the concept of Sustainable Development to minimize the imprint that our operations and businesses leave on our collective health and safety and on the environment. Investment in regulatory compliance and advocacy, including REACH*, is a priority. We commit resources to support this, maintaining a strong regulatory team and actively participating in industry advocacy groups. In short, we care about the futurefor all of us. *Registration Evaluation Authorization of Chemicals
