At Specialty Organics, we specialize in custom chemical synthesis and contract manufacturing services: delivering tailored, application-specific materials for a variety of industries. With years of experience and a commitment to innovation, we offer the facilities and support that help our clients meet the market’s shifting expectations, from proof-of-concept and pilot-scale production to large-scale applications.
Services and facilities
Our pilot plant is designed to address a wide range of industrial process requirements, with jacketed mixers of various sizes (5-gallon through 500-gallon) and capabilities. This includes support facilities and accessories (reflux, distillation, vacuum, filtration, etc.). We work directly with clients to understand their specific requirements, ensuring that each project meets performance, regulatory, and quality standards. From product development and formulation optimization to production trials and contract manufacturing, we support every phase of the process, turning ideas into reality through our comprehensive custom chemical synthesis and contract manufacturing services. Whether creating new materials, improving existing ones, or testing a manufacturing process at pilot scale, our team provides development-stage facilities and support to help clients meet their manufacturing goals quickly and efficiently using our adaptable pilot plant.
We cater to a diverse range of industries, such as companies seeking a tailored blend of ingredients, a custom adhesive, a specialty catalyst or intermediate, or custom synthetic material for a specific purpose unique to their product. We also cater to startups who have, for instance, used our facilities to develop specialty materials for consumer electronics applications. Our experience and flexibility make us a trusted partner for both established public corporations as well as private companies addressing specialized niche markets who seek custom chemical synthesis services.
Organic and metal-organic synthesis
In addition to custom organic synthesis, we offer metal-organic products and services. Our team has years of experience in some metal-organic chemistries, essential for creating specialized compounds for use in a variety of industrial applications. One of our key offerings is magnesium methoxide, a versatile compound used in processes like alkoxylation, biodiesel production, and polymerization. This metal-organic compound serves as an effective catalyst that enhances chemical processes in industries such as energy and materials, complementing our suite of custom chemical synthesis services.
We also have experience producing magnesium ethoxide, which plays a crucial role in the catalysis of polymerization of olefins like polypropylene and polyethylene. Used widely in plastics manufacturing, this compound is integral to the production of materials in industries ranging from automotive to consumer goods and is often developed as part of our integrated custom chemical synthesis services.
Markets we serve
Our adaptability allows our business to serve a broad range of industries. From adhesives to catalysts, we create products and provide support to manufacturers developing new products, improving performance and/or carbon footprint of existing products, and achieving their specific production or marketing goals. We also offer private label services for both existing manufacturers looking for additional capacity and startups looking for a cost-effective way to launch their product for the first time. One example of this is we have prepared and bottled adhesives for automotive applications. This is another one of many ways companies have opted to use our custom chemical synthesis services.
Since its founding in 1962, our company’s product mix has changed significantly throughout the years. We have assisted research companies to develop new materials for industries seeking heat-activated adhesives for labels or as far reaching as research organizations prepare new materials for electronics. Experience developing these products set the stage to market sustainable bio-based products like BreezeBondTM for plywood applications, demonstrating the versatility of our custom chemical synthesis services.
The system behind our custom synthesis business
A project begins with a detailed consultation with our clients to assess the technical requirements. Our team then develops a cost estimate, including the acquisition of additional specialized equipment, if necessary. We then work closely with clients, oftentimes welcoming their representative(s), including technical personnel such as scientists or engineers on site to effectively communicate and observe the details of the process until the final product meets their expectations.
