Experts in Oxazoline
and Specialty Polymer
Manufacturing

Polymer Chemistry Innovations focuses on producing materials that present technological advantages to many industries

Our History

In 1990, our founder, Dr. Bernard Gordon III, PhD, was working as a professor of polymer science at Penn State University. He saw an opportunity to capitalize on a niche market by developing a novel process of producing poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline), later trade named Aquazol®, while remaining cost effective for customers. This entrepreneurial ambition paved the way for the company we are today. 30 years later, PCI is still the only commercial manufacturer of Aquazol® (PEtOx) and has expanded into other specialty materials – each synthesized through innovative processes known and developed exclusively by PCI’s chemists.

Our Facilities

Polymer Chemistry Innovations operates in two locations: Tucson, Arizona and Chocolate Bayou, Texas. With these two locations and a wide range of equipment and experience, PCI has abundant manufacturing capacity and advanced technical capabilities to meet all customers’ needs.
