"Supplying chemical raw materials is not just about delivering the right product at the right time. The real value lies in ensuring that product performs at its full potential within the customer's process."
At KORKİMYA, our research and development activities are conducted with a holistic perspective covering every link in the chemical raw-material value chain. Transferring our deep technical expertise in tall oil and its derivatives, natural resins, fatty acids and specialty chemicals into our customers' innovation processes is our core mission.
The operational experience we have built across European, Middle Eastern and African markets gives us a unique perspective on how product specifications can be adapted to regional manufacturing requirements. Our technical team analyses customers' production processes on site and provides advisory services across a broad spectrum, from raw-material selection to formulation optimisation.
The joint research programmes we run with Turkish and international universities allow us to expand the boundaries of industry knowledge while building today the infrastructure needed to meet growing demand for bio-based and sustainable chemical solutions.
From raw-material selection through production, quality verification and formulation development, we provide active technical support across the entire process.
We carry out comprehensive comparative studies investigating whether tall-oil derivatives, obtained as a by-product of the forest industry, can replace traditional petrochemical-based alternatives. These studies both reduce the environmental footprint and integrate circular-economy principles into our supply chain.
Joint technical work carried out with our supplier and distribution partners in European, Middle Eastern and African markets covers product-quality standardisation, logistical efficiency and the development of dedicated solutions for new market segments.
Multi-year technical development programmes run jointly with our customers in the paint, coatings and adhesives sectors address the elevation of product performance criteria and compliance with environmental requirements such as VOC reduction.

We treat international quality and environmental standards not as a compliance obligation but as a promise we make to our customers.
All our supply and operational processes are documented in line with international quality-management standards and run within a continuous-improvement cycle.
Our product quality-verification processes use analytical test methods based on ASTM International standards, producing repeatable and comparable results for every batch.
We monitor, manage and continually reduce the environmental impacts of our chemical-supply activities. As part of our Responsible Care commitment, environmental management is a core priority.
All registration and compliance requirements under the EU REACH regulation are fully met across our product range, and customers are provided with up-to-date MSDS / SDS documentation.
