What D&R Dispersions and Resins Sp. z o.o. does

D&R Dispersions and Resins Sp. z o.o. is a Polish specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 2010 and headquartered in Włocławek, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, that produces polymer raw materials for the paints, coatings, and construction chemicals industries. The company's product portfolio comprises approximately 65 SKUs organized under six registered brands: ALKID® and IMPERAC® (alkyd resins, including high-solid grades for VOC reduction), AKRYSOLV® (solvent-based acrylic resins), VeoSil™ (vinyl-silicone resins co-developed with Hexion using VeoVa silan polymer technology for isocyanate-free moisture-curable coatings), Akryvil® (water-based acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl-acrylic copolymer dispersions), and AkrySil® (acrylic-silicone dispersions for exterior facade applications). Manufacturing processes span alkyd resin synthesis (fat, medium-fat, and lean types), acrylic resin synthesis, and water-based polymer dispersion production, supported by an in-house R&D laboratory and patent-protected process IP including P.419008 for bio-renewable polymer dispersion with enhanced elasticity.

The company generates revenue through direct B2B sales of resins and dispersions to industrial customers in Poland and across 18 export markets in Europe, the USA, and Australia, supplemented by contract/toll manufacturing of hardeners and diluents for leading European producers introduced in 2024. Sales volume grew from 16,140 mt in 2022 to 20,850 mt in 2024, an average annual increase of 22%, with the company reporting 100% on-time in-full delivery and A-Supplier certification from MIPA, a global paints and coatings manufacturer. D&R holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, EcoVadis Silver Medal status (75/100, 89th percentile in 2026), SBTi-validated climate targets (50% Scope 1+2 GHG reduction by 2030), and UN Global Compact participation. Three EU/national grants (cumulative EU co-financing of approximately 8.56M PLN across 2019 and 2025) have supported technology commercialization, bio-based alkyd R&D, and a wastewater treatment and water recovery installation.

Core offering

D&R Dispersions and Resins manufactures and sells alkyd resins, acrylic resins, vinyl-silicone resins, and water-based polymer dispersions (acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl-acrylic copolymers) used as raw materials by paint, varnish, coating, and construction chemicals manufacturers. The company offers approximately 65 products across six branded lines (ALKID®, IMPERAC®, AKRYSOLV®, VeoSil™, Akryvil®, AkrySil®) and provides custom polymer formulation through an in-house R&D laboratory. Production also includes contract manufacturing of hardeners and diluents (tooling) for leading European producers.

Product overview

D&R Dispersions and Resins is a manufacturer of polymer coating raw materials operating as a single unified product portfolio spanning multiple resin and dispersion sub-brands. The core offering consists of six branded product lines: ALKID® and IMPERAC® (alkyd resins for paints, lacquers, and industrial coatings), AKRYSOLV® (solvent-based acrylic resins), VeoSil™ (vinyl-silicone resins developed with Hexion), Akryvil® (water-based acrylic/styrene-acrylic/vinyl-acrylic dispersions), and AkrySil® (acrylic-silicone dispersions for facade paints). Additionally, D&R offers a tooling service for hardeners and diluents, expanding its portfolio into complementary chemical products. The portfolio is rounded out by specific product variants such as Akryvil WD-50 H BIO. The company also operates an in-house R&D laboratory for product development and process optimization. D&R operates as a B2B supplier of intermediate chemical products (resins and dispersions) serving the paints, lacquers, construction chemicals, and industrial coatings industries, not as a software platform.
