Eliokem was established in 2001, when Goodyear hived off its speciality chemicals operations in France, the US and China. The Pliolite styrene butadiene (SBR) resins business was included in these operations. Eliokem recently declared its commitment to raising capacity for Pliolite-S5 resins at its Le Havre (France) and Akron, Ohio (US) plants. Pliolite-S5 resins are mainly used for clear and pigmented masonry and concrete coatings, known as crépis. They are also used for electrographic toners, marine paints, and road-marking paints.
