Product Development

Creating solutions that advance engineered designs through proven chemistries

Our products often serve as the missing piece in a complex engineered design, or as the solution where another product has failed in-service. The success of our business has been built upon a product development focus, and an emphasis on working with you to understand your requirements and the properties that are critical to your success.

Drawing from this understanding, and a database of over 1,000 formulations, we perform a selection process aligned with your needs.  Whether through a new product development, or by evaluating an existing product for suitability in your application; our in-house analytical lab can perform the qualification-level testing in partnership with your engineering group.  This collaboration is critical to deliver a product that exceeds your specifications.

Once complete, we assist in designing the optimal end-user application process. From surface preparation to selecting the proper methods and equipment; these steps are critical to generating repeatable outcomes and ensuring long-term performance in your application.

Allow us to serve as your outsourced materials lab, saving you crucial time and resources toward a new product qualification.
