Georgia Gulf Corporation announced today that it has entered the rigid vinyl additives business with the launch of its new division, Solucor. Formerly Reagens Canada, Solucor produces a broad range of process aids, impact modifiers, lubricants and stabilizers for use in a wide variety of rigid PVC applications at its manufacturing facility in Bradford, Ontario.
Solucor’s commitment to providing innovative, high quality products, combined with value-added services and dedicated technical support make it a clear choice for vinyl additives in today’s challenging marketplace.
“Solucor additives have a solid track record of successful performance in their targeted applications dating back to their inception in 1994. Today, these additives are proven and widely used in downstream Georgia Gulf operations, as well as those of other commercial customers. We believe this internal use and the consistent excellence in the resulting end products is the ultimate testament to quality and utility of our additives,” stated Ed Schmitt, Chairman, President, and CEO of Georgia Gulf Corporation.
