TOLL BLENDING
Increase and expand your production capabilities with our full-service toll blending. We work with a number of formulations for a wide variety of products, including single- and multi-blend custom water-soluble chemical blends, emulsions, acids, and surfactants across a wide range of pH and viscosities. We also offer flammable chemical blending and are permitted to use specially denatured alcohol, both with a focus on safety and quality control.
MATERIAL SOURCING
We utilize the highest-quality raw materials from trusted chemical suppliers in every formulation, and we ensure each raw material meets our stringent quality assurance standards.
BULK STORAGE, PACKAGING, AND LABELING
Once your product is finalized, we can work with trusted partners for customized storage, packaging, and labeling solutions to get it ready for shipment.
CONSULTING
We work closely with companies of all sizes, across industries, to ensure their success, offering customized solutions for every specialty chemical manufacturing need.
A Partner You Can Trust
Our focus is creating innovative products and formulations to enable the success of your business. We understand that you need a partner that is highly reliable and will value the safety, security, and confidentiality of your formulations. Our toll blending customers can rest assured that their formulations will remain confidential. At Shotwell Hydrogenics, we will never compete with our own customers.
STRINGENT QUALITY MEASURES FOR COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND
Our approach to quality assurance and quality control helps set us apart. As an ISO9001:2015-certified facility, we have implemented exceptionally high quality standards, which ensure we provide you with end products that meet your exact needs and are uniform across batches.
In addition, our Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Management (QHSE) Program helps us strive toward continuous improvement. We achieve this goal through the use of certified auditors, ongoing training programs, and our process safety management program.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
We conduct QC upon completion of every production batch. Once we have a finalized formulation, we verify each future batch against it by testing for appearance, density, pH, and compatibility. Future batches must have a composition that is at least 95% similar to our accepted standards. Our state-of-the-art equipment performs intensive QA and QC to ensure accurate, dependable quality results every time.
• DMA 4500 Densitometer
– Measures density of a product
• OHAUS Explorer Analytical Balance
– Provides precise weight measurements
• Thermo Scientific iD7 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
– Ensures consistency across batches. Our formulations must meet a 95% standard before we’ll ship the product.
• Orion A216 pH/Dissolved Oxygen Multiparameter Meter
– Analyzes the pH of raw materials and produced goods to ensure quality and consistency
• Brookhaven Zeta Potential Plus Analyzer
– Gauges the electric field and charge of a solution
• Dataphysics Interfacial Tension/Contact Angle TBU100 Analyzer
– Measures downhole conditions, demonstrating how a surfactant will perform in a customer’s oilfield application. For agriculture agents, the analyzer also tests a sufactant’s ability to spread on a surface.
• Orbeco-Hellige Lovibond Daylight 2000+ Color Analyzer
– Assigns a numerical static value for a product in order to compare formulations and materials during QA and QC • C Golden Wall NDJ-5S Viscometer – Digital rotational viscosity meter that has a range of 10 centipoise to 100,000 centipoise with an accuracy of + 3% or -3%.
LEADING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Our state-of-the-art facility leverages the latest manufacturing equipment to ensure the highest-quality products. Our plant is highly automated, which streamlines processes, maximizes efficiencies, and ensures consistent results, every time. With advanced capabilities and low overhead, we are able to quickly turn around large quantities of specialized chemical products for competitive prices. Our plant utilizes leading-edge stainless-steel S-Blenders, P-Mixers, and F-Mixers to manufacture custom water-soluble chemical blends, emulsions, acids, and surfactants across a wide range of pH and viscosities.
Automated Process Control
We utilize an air-driven automation system to manufacture products quickly and efficiently, significantly minimizing human error and maximizing consistency.
S-Blender
