Kop-Coat 

Stand 7

Kop-Coat combines the cumulative experience of two Fortune 500 companies, Koppers Co., Inc. and RPM, Inc. Begun in 1907, Koppers became the world’s largest manufacturer of wood preservatives. The innovative Koppers Science and Technology group solved wood preservation challenges in a wide array of market segments around the world. It was this group that developed the Wolmanized*Pressure treatment system that spawned North America’s love affair with residential decks. That global technical experience, which includes 20 years working with engineered wood, is invaluable today as Kop-Coat provides solutions to the Composite Panels and Engineered Wood industry. In 1988 Koppers was divided into several companies. The wood preservation technology for sawmills and manufactured wood was consolidated in kop-Coat, an acronym for Koppers Coating.

In 1990, Kop-Coat joined the RPM family of specialty coatings companies, one of America’s largest coatings Groups which includes Rust-Oleum, DAP, Carboline, Tremco, and Stonhard. The RMP group gives access to 40 related technical staffs and over 60 manufacturing sites worldwide. The combination of RPM coatings technology and Koppers wood protection science affords Kop-Coat a unique insight into solutions for wood protection.
