What We Make

Rohm and Haas Company is a global specialty chemical company with leadership positions in adhesives, specialty coatings, electronic materials, and salt.  We employ 16,500 people in countries around the world.  Sales totaled $7.9 billion in 2005.

Rohm and Haas Company purchased the Philadelphia Plant in 1920 from Charles Lenning and Company, one of the oldest chemical manufacturers in the U.S. at that time.  Today, the facility creates two main products for our Performance Chemical business.  These products are part of a variety of finished materials.  First, we are the worldwide supplier of the Ion Exchange Resins (copolymer); this is a uniform bead size copolymer.  Second, an herbicide called Goal® is produced for pre-emergence and/or post-emergence control of certain annual broadleaf and grassy weeds.  Goal® Toll Production is completed for Dow AgroSciences. 

Rohm and Haas owns a total of 68 acres at the Philadelphia Plant.   The site also employs approximately 75 people.
