ATSP Innovations, Inc.

ATSP Innovations, Inc. develops and commercializes a novel family of high-performance resins known as Aromatic Thermosetting coPolyesters (ATSP). Founded in 2010, the company leverages its proprietary polymer chemistry to create materials that combine the structural benefits of high-temperature thermosets with the processing flexibility of thermoplastics. Their technology portfolio includes specialized product lines such as Estherm advanced polyesters, Self-Bond structural adhesives, and NOWE wear solutions. These innovations are engineered to provide ultra-high thermal stability, superior wear resistance, and unique solid-state bonding capabilities, offering solutions for industries with demanding mechanical and thermal requirements.

The company serves diverse sectors including aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and general industrial manufacturing. By providing high-performance composites, coatings, bearings, and seals, ATSP enables customers to address complex challenges such as lightweighting, metal replacement, and extreme condition lubrication. With a leadership team possessing extensive expertise in polymer synthesis and tribology, the company collaborates on next-generation applications ranging from launch vehicles to microelectronics. Originally established at the University of Illinois Research Park, ATSP has since transitioned its operations to Houston, Texas, where it continues to advance its polymer research and commercialization efforts.
