The company competes through differentiated, sustainable, and reliable products, high-quality customer service, and strong customer relationships. The Latex Binders segment benefits from industry capacity reduction and consolidation, differentiating itself with value-added formulations and product development expertise supported by its research and development and Technical Services and Development teams.
