Coatings and paint additives applications
Univar Solutions is advancing the future of the coatings industry, innovating with leading suppliers to bring better chemical coating and paint innovations forward for various industrial and consumer applications.
With 100 years of innovation and service in paint distribution and formulation, we know the coatings industry. In August 1924, founders George Van Waters and Nat Rogers opened a small firm in Seattle, Washington, buying and selling naval supplies, paint, and raw materials. Since then, Univar Solutions has become a leading distributor of various chemicals and coating additives.
