Our Story

Applied Polymer Systems is a multi-generation, family owned and operated company that for nearly 30 years has provided environmentally friendly, low cost, and effective polymer solutions for challenging water quality issues. Land disturbing activities can create turbid water and we believe cleaning that water should not cost a fortune. Born in the mining industry, 40 years of research, development, and results have gone into our Floc Log®, Silt Stop®, and Pond Log® product lines. Our polymers are high quality, site and performance matched, and rigorously tested to ensure effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and environmental safety.

We service industries from construction, energy, mining, municipal stormwater, industrial stormwater, agriculture, and pond and lake management. All APS products are produced in the United States, and we take pride in fast and responsive service. We offer the quality and scientific backing of a large company, but without the red tape and long waits. APS will work to answer your questions and get the appropriate products and solutions on your site in a matter of days.

In addition to providing unrivaled quality, speed, and products, we are committed to support, training, education, and research. Our team members have decades of experience and will work with you from project planning to completion. Training and education can make the difference between success and failure, and we strive to ensure resources are available for successful flocculant use. We are passionate about our solutions as well as the people who use them, and we are committed to your success.

Applied Polymer Systems was the first and remains the industry leader in passive polymer applications. We continue to provide safe and effective solutions to improve water quality and clarity without breaking the bank.
