Synthomer is a leading global supplier of acrylic and vinyl emulsions polymers, specialty polymers, and latex including Styrene-Butadiene and Acrylonitrile-Butadiene. Renowned for its market leadership across various segments such as coatings, construction, technical textiles, paper, and synthetic latex gloves, Synthomer's aqueous polymers serve crucial functions in diverse applications.
These polymers act as impervious barriers, as seen in the production of thin latex gloves, or bind materials together, such as in modern housing insulation materials. Additionally, they enhance the properties of pressure-sensitive adhesives, used in manufacturing foil sleeves for tablets and smartphones, and various adhesive tapes. In specialist paints, Synthomer's aqueous polymers fulfill both functions by providing a barrier, binding paint components, and ensuring adhesion to surfaces.
Headquartered and publicly listed in the UK, Synthomer operates over 35 sites in 24 countries, with a significant presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. With annual revenues surpassing £2.1 billion and a workforce of 4750 employees worldwide, Synthomer remains a key player in the global polymer industry.
