Tecnopolimeri International

What Tecnopolimeri International does

Tecnopolimeri International srl is an Italian chemical industry company headquartered in Seregno, in the Monza Brianza province near Milan, operating two distinct but related businesses. The legacy activity is global trading and distribution of synthetic rubbers — including SBR (E-SBR and S-SBR), BR (Polybutadiene), Butyl Rubber, Halo Butyl Rubber, and Polyisoprene — together with related chemical products such as precipitated and fumed Silica, Carbon Black, and reclaim rubber supplied under an agency agreement with Rubber Resources. Customers are manufacturers across tyres and tubes, vulcanized rubber compounds, footwear, technical rubber goods, hoses and belts, and adhesives and sealants.

The second business is proprietary chemical production under the TP-COTE brand: a water-based mixture of thermosetting resins formulated as an anti-corrosion coating for screws, bolts, nuts, and metal fasteners in the automotive industry, containing embedded lubricants that deliver low and stable friction coefficients. TP-COTE is positioned as an innovative alternative to traditional phosphating technology and is marketed through a dedicated website (tp-cote.com).

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, emphasizing worldwide distribution with shortest lead times delivered to customer doors, leveraging long-term cooperation with European, Asian, and American petrochemical manufacturers. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and maintains REACH and European Regulation compliance. It is structured as a privately held Italian Società a Responsabilità Limitata with a stated share capital of €10,000, has 11-50 employees, and operates without disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or publicly disclosed financial figures.
