Our business is built on the foundation of quality, flexibility, dependability, and customer service. Our 150 years of combined experience in the water-based polymer industry give us the expertise and technical resources to develop and manufacture a wide range of chemical formulations.

Our business has grown to a capacity of 60 million pounds a year of water-based polymer and acrylic polymer production. We proudly serve the textile, nonwoven, carpet, erosion control, paper, automotive, and roofing industries, among others. JATKO has thrived in an increasingly competitive market because of our ability to innovate and maintain a reputation of being a reliable and consistent partner to our customers.
