History
Chase Products Co.

Chase Products Co. has long been a major manufacturer and a leader in the aerosol industry. Established in 1927, Chase initially manufactured and distributed insecticides and pesticides. In 1948, it was one of the first three companies granted a license by the United States Department of Agriculture to provide mosquito abatement solution in pressurized containers.

Chase became the first to manufacture spray paint. Ed Seymour, founder of Seymour of Sycamore (Sycamore, Ill.), had paint, a prototype spray gun, and a clever idea, and Carl Svendsen, founder of Chase Products Company (now in Broadview, Ill.), had a manufacturing plant equipped with aerosol filling equipment.

Chase went on to become the first to develop hair spray, and the second to formulate and package spray snow. Other achievements included being the first company to package natural starch in aerosol form, and to formulate and manufacture an antiperspirant deodorant in an aerosol can.
