ABOUT US

Arropol Chemicals, Inc.® was established in 2018 and is a sister company of ArrowStar, LLC, a producer and supplier of specialty chemicals to the fiber, carpet and metal working industries.

Our technology focus at Arropol® is the production of urethane and epoxy systems – specifically, polyols and polyol blends for polyurethane; and curing agents, hardening agents and blends for epoxy coatings. Most of these products are produced from the deconstruction of post-consumer and post-industrial polyester carpet through a reclamation process developed by Arropol®. On October 5, 2018, Arropol® received EPA approval for its polyol process.

Our market focus at Arropol® is in the areas of coatings, flexible foam and semi-rigid foam uses in a variety of industries or as a component in a finished product.

This process yields significant environmental advantages, such as:

  • Avoidance of post-consumer and post-industrial carpet in landfills
  • Reduction of the overall industry carbon footprint for polyester carpet
  • Reduction of virgin chemicals to produce polyurethane and epoxy coatings

Arropol® is based in Dalton, Georgia and was founded by ownership with over 50 years of chemical company experience and over 150 years of collective technical expertise in select specialty areas.
