PCC Chemax, Inc.


PCC Chemax was founded in 1973 to develop specialty surfactant additives for specific markets and individual customer needs. We specialize in servicing the industrial compounders in Metalworking, Metal Finishing, Plastics and Oil Field Industries.

Our products are used as processing aids, property enhancers, and chemical additives in the manufacture of a wide variety of industrial products.

As a service oriented company, we focus on product development and cooperative research with our customers. The research, product development, and laboratory personnel of our customers become our partners in the development of unique surfactant additives to meet their specific and specialized needs.

Our research laboratories are headquartered in Greenville, SC and are comprised of synthesis and application capabilities for each industry we serve.

The recent acquisition of our company by PCC SE Duisburg, Germany, with their chemical manufacturing arm, PCC Rokita Brzeg Dolny, Poland and their alkoxylation capability enhances our global supply capabilities.

The synergies will help enhance our position in the United States and the twenty-two countries which we currently serve.
