Organik Kimya Expanded Its Liquid Emulsion Polymer Capacity

Organik Kimya, which has been creating impact through chemistry for 100 years—driven by innovation and guided by sustainability, expands liquid emulsion polymer capacity, giving customers faster deliveries and rock solid supply during peak season.

Organik Kimya focus on developing high-performance polymer emulsions, including Waterbased Acrylics, Hotmelts, Redispersible Powder Polymers (RDP), and Solvent-Based Technologies, to meet evolving industry needs. The company’s solutions enable smarter, safer, and more sustainable applications across a wide range of markets. Continuing its operations with the determination to continuously expand its business, the company has increased its production capacity over 30 times in the past 30 years, to reach 325,000 tons per year.

Organik Redispersible Powders Capacity

Organik Redispersible Powders, ORP®, was established in 2011 with a diverse range of products in powder form to address the needs of the construction chemicals industry. The comany’s redispersible powder polymer plant with 45.000 metric tons of production capacity was built in Tuzla, Istanbul to fulfill this mission.

Hotmelt Production Capacity

Tuzla plant investment also includes hotmelt production with a capacity of 5.000 metric tons to serve the industrial adhesives market.

Organik Kimya has brought a new state‑of‑the‑art reactor on‑line at its Istanbul site, adding significant capacity for its water‑based liquid emulsion polymers. More than a capacity upgrade, the investment is designed to give customers what they tell company they value most: shorter lead times, dependable supply at the height of seasonal demand, and headroom for innovation.

Tansel Özyönüm, COO of Organik Kimya summarizes this investment as follows: “Every tonne we add is measured against two customer metrics: ‘lead‑time to dock’ and ‘on‑time in‑full during peak season.’ This new reactor helps us ship quicker when schedules are tight and keep our partners’ lines running when the market is at full throttle.”

Turning Capacity Into Customer Advantage

• Shorter Lead Times: Parallel reactor trains reduce make‑to‑order cycle times, enabling just‑in‑time deliveries and trimming customers’ working‑capital tied up in inventory.
• Peak‑Season Assurance: Extra swing capacity absorbs the sharp demand spikes typical in architectural and functional coatings, construction chemicals, textile binders and leather chemicals, water-based pressure‑sensitive adhesives and specialty paper applications.
• Supply‑Chain Resilience: minimize disruption risk for procurement teams.
• Co‑Innovation Bandwidth: Freed‑up production windows create space for pilot runs, custom grades and rapid scale‑ups without queueing behind high‑volume orders.

Wide Product Range

The new reactor complements last year’s launch of Turkey’s second high‑tech spray dryer for redispersible powder polymers (RDP), which doubled powder output while cutting energy consumption by 15 %. Together, the liquid‑and‑powder investments allow company to serve customers with integrated solutions that combine:

• Acrylic water-based emulsions for low‑VOC coatings, inks and textile finishes.
• High‑solids, low‑viscosity latexes for next‑generation pressure‑sensitive adhesives.
• Performance‑engineered RDPs that boost workability and strength in cementitious construction products.

All products are backed by Industry 4.0 process control, fully automated packaging and global technical service hubs that help customers translate raw‑material quality into end‑product performance.

“Investing Where It Counts”

Tansel Özyönüm concludes his words as follows: “We export to more than 100 countries and is actively opening new markets. We will continue to invest—so you can plan with confidence, innovate without bottlenecks, and meet your own customers’ expectations every day of the year.”
