Specialty Polymers adds to Chester Co. facility

Specialty Polymers has expanded its Chester County facility, adding a research and development center, additional warehouse space and possibly four jobs, according to a news release and the county's economic development director.

The $3 million investment is part of the company's efforts to invest in and increase its operational capacity, according to a news release from the S.C. Department of Commerce. The plant, which makes water-based polymers for the paint and coating industries, produces more than 100 million pounds of polymer.

Based in Woodburn, Ore., the company opened its Chester facility in 1999. The business manufactures more than 250 different water-based polymers, which serve as the major ingredient for house paints, wood deck coatings, inks, roof coatings, wood glues and cement coatings, the release stated.
