Paintings and Dyes
Full-Service Supplier
Rock Chemicals, Inc. offers a large selection of chemicals and raw ingredients used in paint and coating formulations. We supply several markets including architectural, automotive finishes, wood, protective coatings, general industrial, transportation, and packaging, both domestically and internationally. Our streamlined ordering process provides you with everything you need from one place at a competitive price.
Paint is itself a coating, and the chemistry that drives paint formulation is primarily solvent-based. Oxygenated solvents make up the majority of solvent demand in paints and coatings formulations and include alcohols, ketones, esters, glycols, and glycol ethers. Hydrocarbon solvents, both aliphatic and aromatic, make up the remainder. Beyond solvents, we supply the pigments, dyes, and colorants that give paint its performance and appearance, as well as resins, additives, and inorganic compounds used across both decorative and functional paint applications.
Large Inventory and Short Lead Times
We offer broad availability on solvents, glycol ethers, and additives commonly used in paints and dyes formulation, with the supply chain depth to deliver consistently across production schedules. Whether you are running a single batch or managing high-volume ongoing orders, we deliver at competitive pricing with short lead times.
