All-acrylic solution to be followed by a robust global pipeline furthering Trinseo’s transformation strategy

Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a specialty material solutions provider, today announced the North American launch of LIGOS™ C 9375, the Company’s first all-acrylic latex binder for Building and Construction applications. The launch is a key component of the Company’s transformation and growth strategy for its coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) segment resulting from close customer collaboration.

By diversifying our portfolio, we can continue to build upon our long-standing history as a customer-focused, collaborative business committed to providing innovative and customizable solutions that meet—and exceed—the needs of our customers and the markets they serve.”
