Azon

What Azon does

Azon is a privately held U.S. specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 1977 and headquartered at 2204 Ravine Road, Kalamazoo, Michigan. The company operates in close collaboration with customers to develop polyurethane technologies for the construction industry, commercializing them under the AzoGrout product line for concrete repair, waterstop, soil stabilization, void filling, slab lifting, and leak sealing applications.

The AzoGrout portfolio is built on two foundational chemistries: hydrophobic polyurethane formulations that form resilient, flexible closed-cell foam barriers when reacted with water (AzoGrout 424, 443-C, 445, 551, 680LV), and hydrophilic polyurethane formulations that absorb water and expand to seal active leaks (AzoGrout 675). Core technical specifications include up to 10x liquid-state expansion (AzoGrout 551), 800% water absorption by weight (AzoGrout 675), compressive loads exceeding 1,150 psi when cured (AzoGrout 443-C), and rapid cure times under two minutes (AzoGrout 125 Floor-Fix). All products are PFAS-free, solvent-free, and low-flammability, with multiple SKUs holding Water Quality Association certifications for potable water contact. Supporting products include catalysts (AzoCat 23, AzoCat 24), a polymeric MDI co-reactant (Azo-Nate 300), and pump maintenance flush agents (Azo-Purge MP2, Azo-Solv).

Azon commercializes through a two-tier B2B distribution model. Smaller projects are routed to preferred distributor partners Dedoes Supply (Michigan, founded 1980) and Multiurethanes (Mississauga, Ontario, founded October 1988), who provide technical support, field services, and access to specialized grouting equipment. Large-scale projects and formulation inquiries are handled through a direct contact form on azogrout.com. Products are sold in standardized packaging (5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes) with no publicly disclosed unit pricing. Customer evidence spans municipal water infrastructure (Dartmouth Water Reservoir, Lake Fort Smith Intake Tower, Waterford Sewer System), critical infrastructure (Brilliant Dam), manufacturing (Eaton Plant, Galesburg MI), and commercial construction (Oakville condominium, Mississauga car dealership), indicating a diversified but project-lumpy revenue base across North America.
