Zeon Chemicals

Zeon is broadly known as the market leader for specialty heat- and oil-resistant elastomers. Our flagship elastomer – Zetpol® HNBR – has steadily established itself as the premier elastomer for applications demanding both superior heat/oil resistance as well as toughness and durability. Today, Zetpol is broadly utilized in automotive underhood applications, including for timing belts. Zeon is the global leader for specialty nitrile (NBR) elastomers, offering a broader range of specialty grades – including powder, liquid, ground, carboxylated, and NBR-PVC blends – than any other global producer. For ACM Elastomers, utilized for underhood automotive sealing, we have made significant investment in global capacity expansion with our 2013 acquisition of Tohpe Corporation (Japan). Zeon operates a global network of plants in Asia and North America, and research and development laboratories in the United States, Japan, China, and Singapore. Our U.S. subsidiary, Zeon Chemicals L.P., is based in Louisville, KY (USA). With almost 70 years in business and consolidated global sales of over U.S. $2.9 billion, we have both the experience and the expertise in C4 and C5 chemistry to offer a wide range of polymers and chemicals.
