Tripolymer® Inc. Injection Foam
Established in 1966, C.P. Chemical Company's principal activity has been the production, distribution, and marketing of Phenolic based resins, catalytic surfactants, and related foam generating equipment for servicing the construction industry.
For over 40 years, Tripolymer® has been using its exclusive line of foam products, and has grown from humble beginnings to a national company with dealers all over the United States.
In 1975, big changes took place. Tripolymer® foam products and their characteristics were expanded and refined with assistance from the United States Department of Energy under the Federal Non-Nuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974. Recognizing the inherent shortcomings of existing foam insulation products, the D.O.E. concluded that Tripolymer® foam and its related products were in the "National interest". Tripolymer® was chosen as one of three products from a total of 7,000 to be assisted in further development. After three years of intensive research and testing, the new Tripolymer® insulation was made available for commerce.
