| | Urethane Products Corporation (UPC) is a privately owned company headquartered in Bellflower, California. Founded in 1974 by Timothy Thermos, a polymer chemist, Urethane Products Corporation became incorporated in 1976 and quickly established itself as a leader in urethane development and technology.
UPC has been designing innovative chemistry for demanding military and civilian customers domestically and abroad. In 1979, UPC worked closely with the Aeronutronic Division of Ford Aerospace & Communications Corporation in producing the first production of the AIM 9P Missile System for the U.S. Air Force.
UPC provides a wide range of urethanes and polyureas with an emphasis on marine industrial products. The marine environment is one of the harshest for any coating. These products endure exposures to extreme temperatures, salt water and UV light while experiencing severe physical events such as absorbing berthing energies of the world's largest vessels, which could be as long as 1,200 feet and weigh as much as 500,000 tons. This first-hand experience has provided UPC with a substantial amount of data, contributing to research and development performed in our laboratory.
UPC's Marine Products Division is a leader in marine fendering and buoy technology. Our Marine Guard™, Marine Cushion™ and Donut fenders have been successfully protecting marine assets worldwide in some of the most unforgiving environments. Our buoys are designed to provide years of effective and low maintenance service.
UPC's Urethane Division produces a full range of urethane formulations, which are available for rigid, flexible, micro-cellular and self-skinning foams or cast-able and spray-able elastomer products. Custom formulations are also available, providing solutions and opportunities in today's competitive marketplace.
UPC's Polyurea Division is on the cutting edge of Polyurea chemistry with its high performance Roll-on and Spray-on technology. Whether it's our high performance, fast and slow-cure polyureas or our aliphatic roll-on or spray-on polyureas, UPC provides you with the most advanced coating systems in the world today. UPC's coatings are designed to solve tomorrow's industrial coating challenges today!
UPC is dedicated to the creation of new polyurethane and polyurea products through its on-going research and development. Our chemical engineers have the expertise and experience to provide you with the very best in quality, value and support from a leader in polymer technology.
