OKON Inc. was established in 1972 in response to regulatory changes requiring new, low VOC architectural coatings and sealers. The founders recognized a particular need for water-base, clear sealers for concrete and masonry since. Over the years, OKON developed a complete line of low-VOC water-base water-repellents based on a blend of micro-emulsion resins and silane siloxane technology.
In 2005 OKON was purchased by ZINSSER Co., Inc, a division of RPM, and a manufacturer of high-performance specialty paints and primers. ZINSSER has integrated manufacturing and distribution of OKON products into its national operation and provides its full complement of sales and technical support.
