Our technical team helps customers pick the right grade and prove it in their own formula. The work is practical: matching grades to applications, testing samples, keeping data sheets accurate and helping interpret trial results.
What the technical team does
| Activity | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Grade matching | We start from your application and current grade and suggest a product to test against it |
| Laboratory checks | Viscosity, degree of substitution, purity, moisture, pH and particle size on samples and lots |
| Trial support | Samples sized for lab or pilot trials, and help comparing results side by side |
| Document control | Current TDS and SDS for each grade; COA for every shipped lot |
| Application notes | Guides on how each product works in construction, food, pharma, drilling and industry |
Typical tests by product
| Product | Key tests |
|---|---|
| CMC | Viscosity (Brookfield), degree of substitution, purity, pH, moisture, chloride or NaCl |
| HPMC, MC, HEC | Viscosity, methoxyl and hydroxypropyl content (HPMC), gel temperature, moisture |
| PAC | Viscosity and fluid-loss in reference muds |
| MCC | Particle size, bulk density, loss on drying, pH, assay |
Where we are improving
- More grade-specific application data for construction and food customers.
- Clearer data sheets that state test methods next to each value.
- Faster sample and document turnaround for new enquiries.
Send your application and current grade and we will suggest a grade with its TDS.
FAQ
Can you suggest a grade for my formula?
Yes. Send the application, the grade you use now and your target properties, and we will suggest a grade to test.
Do you test every lot?
Every shipped lot comes with a COA against the agreed specification.
Can you match a competitor grade?
We can suggest a grade with similar specification values; confirm it by side-by-side trial in your formula.
