The site employs 55 people and includes a customer-service and application-support laboratory for customers in the coatings and polymers, and adhesives and sealants markets.

Rohm and Haas said it invested $20 million in the manufacturing and customer-support facility, which has an annual production capacity of 25,000 to 35,000 metric tons of adhesives and coatings polymers. The site will produce polyurethane, polyester and waterborne adhesives for flexible-packaging applications and acrylic emulsions for pressure-sensitive adhesives. The plant will also produce a full range of waterborne latex emulsion polymers used in paints and coatings and for construction, leather, textile, and non-woven applications.
