Dura Chemicals, Inc is a mid-sized chemical manufacturer with origins in India dating to 1948, evolving from a raw-material supplier for coatings, plastics, rubber, and cosmetics to producing additives for paints, inks, and PVC, and later metal organic compounds such as metal driers and PVC stabilizers for coatings, UPR, polyurethane, lubrication, and fuels. The company maintains research, development, and manufacturing operations in India and a United States lab and production arm, with worldwide supply capabilities, and has been based in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1994; its Emeryville, California address reflects its current location. In 2006, Dura expanded its North American footprint by acquiring the metal carboxylate and anti-skinning business of a major supplier, adding warehouses and offices from Mexico to Canada. In 2020, it launched Durablock, an odor-eliminating additive for architectural and industrial coatings, and DriCAT CV 120 for the paint and coatings industry in North America.
