We are
tireless
in our pursuit of innovation

We are a materials science company and have a vocation for innovation. Our inspirations are not in one place, but in each and every place.

FCC appeared at the end of the 1960s, and began its history producing components for the footwear market. Its dedication to improving processes and developing new technologies brought success. Success brought the will to grow and innovate even more. Then FCC consolidated itself, expanded its portfolio, and became a reference. Today, it does not produce a single material that it produced in the beginning, demonstrating its ability to create, co-create, reinvent, and transform itself.

Automotive

Thermoplastic elastomers are used in multiple automotive applications

FCC's products for the automotive sector are multifunctional and used in several areas of a vehicle. They are applied in under-the-hood, interior and exterior components, including headlight seals, bellows, sealing profiles, levers, handles, mirror seals, air conditioning systems, air ducts, dust covers, cowl tops, spoilers, trim parts, plugs, through-holes, cup holders, and linings. Their applications range from components that require high chemical and thermal resistance to those with advanced finishing needs.

Polyurea coatings

what it is

We specialize in surface coatings and polyurea.

Polyurea is a very high performance coating that has adherence to the most diverse substrates. FCC has numerous successful cases throughout Brazil and in various segments such as mining, oil and gas, and sanitation. The polyurea, polyurethane and hybrid elastomers are available in different formulations, with chemical-physical properties and durability suited to the specific requirements of each project and application.

Polymer mortars

what it is

FCC is a pioneer in the production of Polymeric Mortar in Brazil.

For over a decade, our technology has brought sustainability and innovation to the construction site, and has helped to build over 20 millionm2 of construction. Massa DunDun is the evolution of common mortar: it generates economy, practicality and safety in the work, is easy to store and transport, generates less waste and increases the speed of the work up to 3 times. In addition, it provides mechanical performance and durability unparalleled in the market, because it uses nanoparticles organized in structures that ensure optimum distribution of its polymeric compounds.

Sealants

what it is

FCC is the largest manufacturer of silo seals in Latin America.

Sealants are used to seal a surface, to prevent the passage of liquid or vapor, reducing production losses. We specialize in the production of butyl-based sealants, products that have excellent flexibility and elasticity, and are very cost-effective. We produce a wide range of caulking compounds, commonly used in sealing silos and other civil construction applications, and butyl sealing rings for toilet bowls.

Thermoplastic Elastomers

what it is

FCC is the most diversified producer of thermoplastic elastomers in Latin America.

Thermoplastic elastomers are polymer-based compounds that, when heated to their molten state, can be molded and turned into various parts and products. They are almost as flexible and elastic as traditional rubber, but with much greater versatility in relation to their processing, resulting in endless applications. With knowledge acquired in more than 30 years, we have developed a wide range of products, meeting the most rigorous quality controls.
