Canton, Mass.-based Interpolymer Corp. — a developer of specialty polymers, emulsions and aqueous acrylic dispersions — has expanded its market reach and customer service in Asia with the opening of a fully equipped sales office and research laboratory located in the XuHui Functional Materials Research Park in Shanghai.

“With this new facility, Interpolymer will now be able to provide more extensive support to its customers in Asia,” said Wim van Drunen, technical director responsible for customer support in both Europe and Asia. “Interpolymer Shanghai will augment our laboratory teams in Europe and the United States, which until now had total responsibility for the development and testing of our products.”

Wolff. “This new facility strengthens our position as a worldwide leader in the marketing of specialty acrylate polymers.”
