Resin Solutions' expanded capacity in Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene

Resin Solutions, a portfolio company of Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, announces the material expansion of capacity in its hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene product line, Poly bd. The additional capacity, which will come online in 2024, is intended to reconfirm Resin Solutions as the leading global supplier of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and demonstrate a continued commitment to its diverse customer base across the adhesives, sealants, aerospace, and defense end-markets.

“In response to growing industry demand and numerous direct customer requests, we recently approved a significant expansion of production capacity in our Channelview, Texas, Poly bd plant," says Joan Braca, CEO of Resin Solutions. "While we view this expansion as more than sufficient to satisfy the near- to medium-term demand for hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene, we, in tandem with Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, will continue to make the appropriate capital investments required to serve our customers.”

Resin Solutions’ Poly bd business is uniquely situated to serve the liquid polybutadiene market given its production capabilities in its Channelview, Texas, and Ravenna, Italy, plants, which are both underpinned by advantaged, long-term and cost-competitive feedstocks. Resin Solutions also operates a world-class Research and Development center within its Exton, Pennsylvania, facility that focuses on technical development of the product line to fit future needs.
