Organik Kimya expands liquid emulsion polymer capacity at its Istanbul site
Last update on Aug 7, 2025
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 us they value most: shorter lead times, dependable supply at the height of seasonal demand, and headroom for innovation.
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.
A portfolio that grows with you
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 Organik Kimya 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.
“Every ton we add is measured against two customer metrics: ‘lead time to dock’ and ‘on time in full during peak season,” explained Tansel Özyönüm, COO. “This new reactor helps us ship quicker when schedules are tight and keep our partners’ lines running when the market is at full throttle.”
Investing where it counts
Organik Kimya exports to more than 100 countries and is actively opening new markets. Organik Kimya will continue to invest - so one can plan with confidence, innovate without bottlenecks, and meet their own customers’ expectations every day of the year.
