Fundamentally different approach

Chemitec’s fundamentally different approach resulted in my decision to change employer one more time in 2001. In contrast to other suppliers, who opt for the replacement of a product by a comparable product – without any innovations or improvements whatsoever – Chemitec not only carries out product research into the latest developments, but also investigates potential improvements in the cleaning process. A major pigments manufacturer cleaned its reactors using a hydrocarbon compound with an extremely outdated cleaning method introduced at the beginning of the eighties. Subsequent to comprehensive research and the use of the latest technologies we were not only able to replace this hydrocarbon with a much safer product – exempt from labelling – on a water basis, but were also able to achieve a major improvement in the efficiency of the cleaning process! The new product improved employee safety, significantly reduced the amount of waste – and, moreover, the greatly improved efficiency also resulted in substantial cost savings!

In my role of Consultant this ability to tailor our products precisely to the conditions in which they will be used offers me a major USP in distinguishing Chemitec from its competitors.
