As a major producer of specialty chemicals with leadership positions in many markets, our products appear in a remarkable variety of items we all use every day. In fact, they’re essential in everything from ice cream to asphalt, soup to soap and plastics to paper. There are more than 2,000 items in our portfolio. We’ve grouped these into six businesses; Functional Chemicals, Pulp and Paper Chemicals, Industrial Chemicals, National Starch, Surface Chemistry and Polymer Chemicals.
• We are a leading global supplier of surface-active agents and specialty polymers
• Surface Chemistry are chemicals that combine or separate two different materials, they are remarkably flexible and can be used to emulsify, disperse, clean, wet, aggregate, foam, defoam, disinfect or soften
• They’re used in a huge range of industrial and consumer products including cleaning goods, oil field applications, agriculture, printing, paints, fabric softeners, flooring, food packaging, and electronics
• They can also reduce the need for solvents in paints and cleaning products
• Specialty polymer products also include dispersants, anti-scalants for water treatment and detergent builders,
as well as thickeners for the carpet, adhesive and detergent industries
Many of our production processes are positioned around the world to bring our products closer to their markets.
