EASTERN BURLAP AND TRADING COMPANY

Eastern Burlap and Trading Company specializes in the manufacture and supply of high-performance industrial adhesives and specialized polymer compounds for mission-critical defense and homeland security applications. Their core expertise lies in epoxy resin systems, polyurethane kits, and advanced bonding formulations such as Chockfast and Phillybond, engineered for structural integrity under extreme environmental and mechanical stress. The company delivers precision-engineered adhesive solutions used in shipboard repairs, aerospace assemblies, and heavy equipment maintenance, with demonstrated proficiency in meeting military specification standards for durability, thermal resistance, and chemical stability. Their technical capability extends to formulation customization for niche applications, including marine-grade bonding and electrical insulation systems, positioning them as a trusted supplier of mission-critical polymer solutions within defense logistics. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, providing specialized adhesive and polymer products for naval, aviation, and land-based platforms. A single award from the Department of Homeland Security indicates targeted support for infrastructure resilience or emergency response equipment requiring high-strength bonding agents. Their work is characterized by repeat engagements on technical procurement requirements tied to maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations. Industry focus centers on NAICS 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing), where they produce formulated chemical systems for industrial and military use, alongside niche capabilities in wood preservation (321114) and current-carrying wiring device manufacturing (335931). This positions them as a specialized supplier within the defense industrial base, serving sectors requiring certified, non-standard polymer solutions beyond commodity-grade offerings. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Norfolk, Virginia, Eastern Burlap and Trading Company operates without federal certifications but leverages its geographic proximity to major naval and maritime infrastructure to deliver responsive, just-in-time supply chain support. Their market positioning is defined by technical precision in polymer chemistry rather than scale or certification status.
