Synthomer – Water‑Based Polymers
Synthomer is a UK‑based global producer of specialty chemicals, primarily water‑based polymers used in coatings, construction, adhesives and healthcare. Under a strategic refocus, Synthomer concentrates on water‑borne latexes and acrylic dispersions for key industries, aiming to deliver high performance with reduced environmental impact.
- Company Snapshot: Global producer of speciality water‑borne polymers used in coatings, construction, adhesives and healthcare applications.
- Key Products Available Through Target: Styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) latexes, nitrile butadiene (NBR) latexes, acrylic and vinyl‑acetate–ethylene (VAE) dispersions, and speciality latexes for gloves and non‑wovens.
- Primary Applications: Architectural and industrial coatings, pressure‑sensitive adhesives (PSAs), construction sealants, flooring, carpet backing, waterproofing membranes and medical gloves.
- Differentiators / Why It Matters: Leading expertise in water‑based polymerisation; high‑solids latexes and speciality grades deliver tailored performance (tack, rheology, water resistance) and low VOC emissions.
- Sustainability / Innovation Highlights: Focus on high‑solids, bio‑based monomers and recyclability; investments in carbon‑reduction and circular‑economy initiatives.
- Local Support: Target assists with polymer selection, let‑down and mixing; local inventory ensures continuous supply and quick turnaround on trials.
- Value Proposition for Customers: Meet VOC and performance requirements with reliable, high‑performance latexes and technical assistance.
