A Story of Passion and Innovation

Everything began in 1977, with the founding of a company by René MASSARD, Mining Engineer and Master of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. An inventive and pioneering chemist, he combined all his talents to create and develop increasingly high-performance, advanced waterproofing resins. Objective: To develop new polyurea–urethane resins, originally designed for coating the hulls of icebreakers. Very quickly, René MASSARD turned his focus toward researching more advanced formulations to create resins for other applications such as waterproofing and flooring, terraces and balconies, or even nuclear decontamination with COGEMA in La Hague. KEMICA COATINGS had not yet been founded, but the products were already in use.

An International Presence

1990: Creation of another company to subcontract the manufacturing of formulated waterproofing resins in Gennevilliers and to offer on-site application services.
At the same time, René MASSARD established his presence as a resin manufacturer for export, particularly in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

A Strong Commitment to Sustainable Development

2002: Establishment in MIGNIÈRES (Eure-et-Loir, France), with the continuation of Research and Development focused on environmentally friendly formulations, and construction of an on-site resin manufacturing unit.

2003: Founding of KEMICA COATINGS, a company dedicated to manufacturing waterproofing resins for the Building and Industrial sectors.

2017: Expansion of facilities with the addition of new office spaces and a mechanical workshop.

– Awarded the European SME H2020 funding for its project KEMISTATIC, which introduced a new ecological and energy-efficient process for the electrostatic spraying of VOC-free two-component resins.

KEMICA COATINGS is a 100% French-owned company.
The team includes a manufacturing unit, a Research & Development department equipped with a dedicated laboratory, as well as a commercial structure and administrative office.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At KEMICA COATINGS, sustainable development is at the heart of our strategy and operations. As a committed player in the design and manufacturing of waterproofing and flooring solutions, we recognize our responsibility in reducing the environmental impact of the Industry, Building, and Civil Engineering sectors. Here’s how we turn our convictions into concrete actions.

Bio-based and Solvent-Free Products

We continuously innovate to provide environmentally friendly solutions. Our liquid waterproofing resins and floor coatings are formulated from bio-based, solvent-free raw materials. This approach helps reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to better air quality for applicators, end users, and the environment.

Certifications and Quality Control

Our products are certified by the CSTB (Scientific and Technical Center for Building), ensuring their performance and durability. This recognition is the result of a rigorous research and development process aimed at meeting the highest environmental standards and quality requirements.

Contributing to Sustainable Construction

We provide concrete solutions to improve the energy and environmental performance of structures through products compliant with the strictest standards such as HQE™ and BREEAM®:

  • Durable waterproofing solutions: our liquid resins offer optimal protection against infiltration while being easy to apply, thereby reducing on-site waste.
  • High-performance coatings: designed to withstand extreme conditions, our products extend the lifespan of structures, contributing to better resource management.

Contributing to a Cleaner Industry

Our solutions aim to meet the specific needs of sectors such as: 

The agri-food sector: with antibacterial coatings to prevent microbiological contamination. 

The agro-industrial sector: with anti-corrosion coatings to protect tanks and silos, promoting sustainable agriculture. 

Reducing our carbon footprint 

We are committed to optimizing our production processes to reduce energy consumption and waste. 

Awareness and partnerships 

We believe in collaboration to accelerate the ecological transition. That’s why we work alongside our partners, distributors, applicators, and clients, providing training and advice for the responsible implementation of our products. 

A vision for the future 

At KEMICA COATINGS, our goal is to continue pushing the boundaries of sustainable innovation. Together, we can build a future where performance, quality, and environmental respect go hand in hand.
