Dura Chemicals Corporation was founded in India in 1948 as a supplier of raw materials for the coatings, plastics, rubber, and cosmetics industries. In 1961, the company commenced production of additives for the paint, printing ink, and PVC industries. Over the next five decades, Dura emerged as a leader in the production of metal organics including metal driers, PVC heat stabilizers and additives for the coatings, UPR, polyurethane, lubrication, and fuel industries.Dura Chemicals Inc., based in the San Francisco Bay Area, was established in 1994. We acquired the North American metal organics business of a major supplier in 2006; this considerably broadened our production and sales footprint in North America. In addition, we have established a European manufacturing footprint to serve our global customers. Today, Dura has research & development facilities, and manufacturing capabilities across three continents - Asia, Europe and North America.Ultimately, ISO 9001-2008 certified Dura Chemicals distinguishes itself by blending high quality products with unrivaled customer sales support and service.
