Industrial Solutions
Custom Formulation & Contract Manufacturing
Customer-specific adhesive, coating, polyurethane and specialist-product formulation, reformulation, localisation, scale-up and industrial contract manufacturing.
Specialised industrial requirements do not always fit within a standard product range. Genkem assesses the intended application, materials, manufacturing process, equipment, packaging, production volume and required finished performance before determining whether an existing technology, adapted formulation or controlled development programme is appropriate.
Adhesive Solutions From Product Development to Industrial Manufacture
Genkem supports manufacturers requiring a new industrial formulation, modification of an existing product, localisation of an imported technology, replacement of an existing supplier system or controlled scale-up to commercial manufacture.
Custom Formulation & Product Development
Development of adhesive, coating, polyurethane and related industrial technologies around defined customer materials, processing equipment, application conditions and finished-performance requirements.
Reformulation & Product Optimisation
Assessment and adaptation of existing products to modify working, setting, drying or curing behaviour, viscosity, flow, application properties, raw-material composition or finished performance.
Product Localisation & Existing-System Replacement
Evaluation and reformulation of imported or existing industrial products for local manufacture, alternative raw-material sourcing, supply-chain localisation and replacement of established adhesive, coating or polyurethane systems.
Laboratory Development, Trials & Scale-Up
Laboratory formulation, benchmark evaluation, sample preparation, compatibility assessment, pilot manufacture, controlled production trials and scale-up to industrial production.
Contract Manufacturing
Customer-specific and contract manufacture of approved water-based, solvent-based, one-component, two-component and reactive industrial technologies, subject to Genkem’s technical and manufacturing capabilities.
