Advanced Polymer Coatings, Inc.
Advanced Polymer Coatings is a world leader in developing specialty polymer coatings – MarineLINE® and ChemLINE® – for high-performance applications. Advanced Polymer Coatings, formerly Advanced Polymer Sciences, was incorporated in 1989 with headquarters in Avon, OH, to produce high-temperature polymers to meet the extremely demanding anticorrosion and surface protection requirements of the military and aerospace industries. APC developed a way of cross-linking an organic polymer with an inorganic polymer possessing high multi-functional capability. The end result was a three-dimensional, ladder-like structure where high cross-linking was achieved by the formulation of Ether groups, C-O-C (carbon-oxygen-carbon), one of the strongest bonds in chemistry. Today, our patented polymer coatings protect against damage from corrosion and chemical attack while providing safe storage and transport of chemicals and products for marine transportation, road and rail transportation, tank containers, chemical processing, petroleum and refining, tank storage and terminals, food and beverage, and power generation markets. Our business is guided by our core values: to deliver materials and services that are of the highest standards, to the benefit of our customers, employers, shareholders, business partners, community, and the environment while continuously striving to achieve our mission of solving tomorrow’s coatings needs, today.
