ABOUT
About
NexPolymers
NexPolymers is the unified global identity of a growing polymer organization with regional operations across North America and Europe. Built from the ground up to serve technically complex industries, NexPolymers combines world-scale manufacturing capability with local technical expertise, regional inventory, and the kind of responsive decision-making that large legacy suppliers struggle to match.
With state-of-the-art plants that are newly designed and highly automated, and a dedicated applications research center in Houston focused on solid-liquid separation, mining, and hydraulic fracturing, NexPolymers delivers high-quality chemistries with precision and efficiency — backed by full technical and laboratory support at every stage.
The NexPolymer Vision
Our vision is to establish a market-leading position in water-soluble polymers by delivering application-driven solutions that create genuine value at the point of use. We remain commercially focused at the product level — maintaining manufacturing and supply excellence — while concentrating our innovation efforts on next-generation polyelectrolyte technologies for our customers and end markets.
INDUSTRIES
Diverse polymer solutions tailored to your every need
NexPolymers is part of a well-established global polymer network, with particular expertise in polyacrylamide and water-soluble chemistries. Backed by world-scale manufacturing, backward-integrated supply, and a dedicated Houston-based R&D laboratory, we deliver high-performance, REACH-compliant solutions across water treatment, oil & gas, mineral processing, and pulp & paper. We don’t just supply polymers — we help our customers get better results from them.
01
Water & Wastewater Treatment
NexPolymers’ extensive range of flocculants and coagulants enables optimal product selection for both municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment. For drinking water applications, potable-grade products are certified by the National Science Foundation (NSF), complying with ANSI Standard 60. Our portfolio supports high-efficiency dewatering operations, with product sets designed to meet handling, performance, and budget requirements.
02
Oil & Gas
Our friction reducer product line is engineered for exceptional performance even in challenging environments — including saltwater and high-brine formation water. Built on fast-hydrating, high-activity co-polymers and available in both dry and liquid-blended slurry formats, our FR chemistries deliver reliable performance in demanding upstream oilfield applications.

03
Mineral Processing & Mining
NexPolymers offers a broad range of specialty flocculants engineered for sedimentation and separation in mine-site solid-liquid separation processes. Ultra-high molecular weight products across a wide array of charge densities are augmented with specialty monomers to address diverse process conditions. Products are available in multiple form factors to align with site-specific environmental and handling requirements.
04
Paper Processes
NexPolymers’ specialty polyacrylamide grades for paper applications include anionic and cationic offerings across a broad range of molecular weights, supporting retention and drainage, dry and wet strength, deposit control, and site water treatment. Tight product quality control ensures consistent physical properties and dependable runnability, productivity, and sheet quality.
