Chemind commenced business in Queensland as Chemical Industries, in September 1976. It quickly established a reputation as a reliable, efficient, service orientated company, both locally and nationally.

Chemind was established to service the need for specialised waterproofing and coatings systems being demanded by contractors and consultants for the construction industry.
The Chemind Construction Products division continues to meet the needs of the construction industry throughout Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

In 1985, Chemind began its activities in polyurethane chemicals with the introduction of a range of rigid polyurethane foam systems.
Today, the Chemind Hi-Tec Polymers division continues as a major supplier of all forms of rigid and flexible polyurethane foam, elastomer, pre-polymer and adhesive products, to numerous markets throughout Australia.

In July 2002 Chemind cemented its relationship with Grace SBM International by taking over the National Distribution of Grace waterproofing membrane systems in Australia.
