PoloPlaz

PoloPlaz began in the early 1960s as National Coatings Co. The founder of the company had been employed during the 1950s in research and development at Union Carbide. During this period, Union Carbide spent considerable resources developing the polyurethane technology that had emerged during World War II. The company prospered as a small business until the founder became ill and could no longer manage the business. In 1988 the company switched ownership, since then the company has grown and become a leader in hardwood floor finishing in North America. Over the years, millions of dollars have been invested into new products, facilities and equipment to keep National Coatings on the cutting edge of finish technology. PoloPlaz was the trade name of the National Coatings products. As time passed, more and more customers began referring to the company by the brand name, so, in 2006, National Coatings officially became known as PoloPlaz. Unlike nearly all other finish companies – which purchase all or some of their products from contract or toll manufacturers – PoloPlaz products are all made in-house from proprietary formulations. This approach ensures that PoloPlaz products are designed specifically for the intended application, formulated with the highest quality of ingredients, and maintained to best-in-class standards. In 2017, PoloPlaz became part of Valentus Specialty Chemicals bringing together innovative floor coatings and other trusted brands used by professionals. Collectively, our history and experiences now span over 121 years with a heritage and superior products that deliver results and provides solutions for every flooring need.
