Creative Polymer Solutions
Creative Polymer Solutions (CPS) is a developer and manufacturer of custom polyurethane and polyurea foam and coating products. The company was founded in December 2015 as a venture of the Akron, Ohio-based private equity firm Signet.
CPS operates as part of Signet's Chemical Specialties Division, along with Sprayroq, which was relocated to Irondale from Jacksonville, Florida. It markets "Accufoam" spray-foam and "Rugged Coatings" spray coatings for corrosion control, structural rehabilitation, and thermal and moisture protection to municipal, industrial and commercial customers.
Initially the company had offices at 4766 Grantswood Road in Irondale and shared a production facility at 2870 Crestwood Boulevard with Sprayroq. Both companies were headed by Jerry Gordon. Former Dow Chemical scientist David Mulkey was brought on board as vice president of product management in 2020. James Light is general manager.
The company later relocated to 2720 Southeastern Circle off Pinson Valley Parkway north of Tarrant and west of Center Point. In late 2023 it moved its offices, research, manufacturing and distribution to a larger rail-served building at 3217 Messer Airport Highway in North Avondale. RaderMcCary carried out $2.5 million in landlord and tenant renovations for the move.
