Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants Financing
Coatings, adhesives, and sealants manufacturers buy resins, pigments, and additives, run milling and mixing, and wait 60–90 days for industrial and OEM buyers. Factoring against receivables, PO financing on raw materials, and equipment loans keep production running.
You're buying resins, pigments, solvents, and additives, running milling, mixing, and filling, and shipping to industrial, automotive, and construction buyers who pay 60–90 days later. Raw materials are bought now; the cash comes back slowly.
Your industrial and OEM receivables are strong, slow credits. Factoring turns approved invoices into cash so the next resin buy and batch run isn't gated by the last invoice outstanding.
We work with lenders who understand coatings and adhesives formulation, batch economics, and raw-material volatility. We match your customer mix to factoring, PO financing on raw materials, and equipment financing for mills and mixers.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Top-customer / OEM list and aged AR
Industrial, automotive, and construction-buyer concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. Coatings-buyer credit is underwritten on the buyer, not your mill count.
Raw-material supplier detail (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your resin, pigment, solvent, and additive suppliers directly against a confirmed order. We need PO copies and supplier bank details up front.
Trailing 12 months of financials and raw-material-cost exposure
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and raw materials as % of COGS. Resin price pass-through clauses in contracts help.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
Mills, mixers, dispersers, filling lines, and packaging equipment finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
Regulatory status (EPA / TSCA / VOC compliance)
EPA, TSCA, and VOC-compliance status is confirmed but doesn't disqualify. Low-VOC and water-based products underwrite the same as solvent-based.
Quality system status (ISO 9001 / ISO 14001)
ISO 9001 is baseline; ISO 14001 helps. Open nonconformances require a response but rarely disqualify.

Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants financing — FAQs
Yes. Industrial, automotive, and construction receivables are strong, slow credits and factor well. Advance rate depends on the buyer, not your mill count.
Yes. PO financing pays your resin, pigment, solvent, and additive suppliers directly against a confirmed order so the batch keeps running.
Yes. Mills, dispersers, mixers, filling lines, and packaging equipment finance new and used with 24–72 month terms and proper appraisal.
No. Industrial and OEM buyers receive factoring notices routinely — standard AP paperwork that doesn't change your pricing or terms.
Yes. PO financing locks the raw-material buy against a confirmed order and factoring bridges the invoice, so a swing between order and ship doesn't gate the next batch.
Regulatory status is confirmed but doesn't disqualify you. Low-VOC and water-based products underwrite the same as solvent-based; buyer credit matters more.
