KCJM CLEAN CHEMISTRY

Clean chemistry — because
our values require it.

We engineer for the planet and the people who wear, touch, and live with the products our chemistry makes possible — not because regulations demand it.

FOUR COMMITMENTS

Formulation properties, true today.

APEO-Free

Formulated without alkylphenol ethoxylates across textiles, paints, and adhesives.

Zero-Formaldehyde

Eco grades formulated without added formaldehyde; testable to EN ISO 14184-1.

Low-VOC

Water-based, solvent-free emulsion chemistry across every family.

Plasticizer-Restricted

Phthalate-free finishing and stiffening systems.

OUR PLEDGE

100% of new product development, APEO-free and formaldehyde-free by 2027.

Our chemistry is clean by design, not by retrofit — APEO-free across the range, zero-formaldehyde in our eco grades, and water-based, low-VOC emulsion chemistry throughout. Clean formulation is the baseline we build to, not a feature we sell.

Several KCJM grades are eco-designated — including KCTEX ET-ZF (zero-formaldehyde), KCTEX FL 8745 ECO, KCTEX PS ECO M, and KCJMBOND PSA ECO. Each is engineered for buyers who need clean chemistry without compromising performance.
