Our technology range include acrylics, epoxies, urethanes and butyl rubber wax blends which are mainly used in the industrial, automotive, aerospace, electronics, transportation, manufacturing and infrastructure segments.

Key Polymer has the capability to handle high volume, complex products. We can mix, disperse, compound and blend a variety of viscosities. We are accustomed to working with both large and small customers and can even support color matching needs. Through a robust product development strategy, we have the capability to design and develop ‘new to world’ products and techniques in our state-of- the art laboratory.

KEY Sustainability

At Key Polymer, we are committed to following policies, procedures, and practices that reduce our environmental impact on our operations, products, and community. We strive to meet and exceed all applicable legislation and codes of practice.

Through efficiencies, technology, and science we are always working to reduce our waste stream. In fact, we often reformulate products in order to receive the most environmentally sound results.

You can rest assured that we practice what we preach: a significant part of all our energy comes from our 2600 rooftop solar panels and we’ve installed facility-wide motion sensor LED lighting. We also maintain an onsite wastewater treatment facility where all water used in production is recycled for further use—there is no production-based water that enters the city’s water system. Finally, in an effort to reduce our waste, we reuse and/or recycle packaging supplies for a variety of customers.

As we continue to make strides toward becoming a more sustainable company, we encourage all of our customers to join in our efforts! When we all make the decision to protect the environment, we, in turn, protect our communities.
