Basic & Industrial Chemicals
Basic and industrial chemicals are the building blocks of modern manufacturing. They are widely used across petrochemicals, polymers and plastics, coatings and adhesives, electronic chemicals, metal finishing, water treatment, and industrial cleaning. Because these materials often sit at the start of the supply chain, small variations in composition or impurities can create large downstream impacts on process stability, product quality, safety, and compliance.
We provide analytical testing and materials characterization for bulk chemicals, high-purity process chemicals, intermediates, additives, and industrial formulations, supporting R&D, supplier qualification, incoming QC, production monitoring, and troubleshooting. Our multi-technique approach delivers clear, decision-ready results—whether you need rapid screening or deep root-cause identification.
Why Testing Matters for Industrial Chemicals
Industrial chemicals must meet requirements that directly affect downstream operations:
Composition and concentration control for process consistency
Impurity profiling to prevent corrosion, discoloration, side reactions, or catalyst poisoning
Volatile/residual solvent control for safety, odor, and packaging compatibility
Trace metals and ionic contaminants that can accelerate degradation or cause yield loss
Verification of supplier changes and equivalency for procurement decisions
Root-cause investigations for deposits, residues, off-spec results, or process upsets
Our lab helps teams manage these risks with analytical data that is traceable, comparable, and actionable.
FAQs
Can you test both commodity and high-purity chemicals?
Yes. We support routine QC and, where applicable, higher-sensitivity screening. We’ll recommend the best method based on matrix and required limits.
Do you offer specification-based pass/fail reporting?
Yes—if you provide limits and method preferences (ASTM/ISO/internal), we can align reporting accordingly.
What if I don’t know what the contaminant is?
We can run a structured unknown-ID workflow using orthogonal tools (GC-MS/LC-MS/FTIR/Raman + ICP/IC as needed).
Can you diagnose deposits or residues from process lines?
Yes. We can identify whether residues are organic/inorganic, determine likely sources, and recommend confirmatory checks.
How important is a reference sample?
Very. A known-good lot enables faster, more confident conclusions—especially for complex matrices.
Can you help monitor process baths over time?
Yes. We can propose a routine panel (concentration + key contaminants) for trend monitoring and control.
