Chemipat is a major ISO EN9002 accredited
UK Compounder of Adhesives
used in many industries, and polymer solution Coatings primarily used
within the fabric coating market. Allied to these is the
"Chemisperse" range of dispersed rubber chemicals and accelerators in
appropriate polymeric binders.
Chemipat is committed to modern, solvent
free solutions for industrial
applications and works with customers to ensure complete fulfilment of
requirements.
In the modern world new generation
adhesives have replaced many
traditional mechanical fixing methods. Whether the bonding requirement
is for a new product or process, or to meet an established need,
Chemipat is able to formulate products to suit the most demanding
industrial applications and processes. Most applications, however, can
be handled using more economical, traditional adhesive formulations.
Accredited to ISO EN9002, and using state
of the art laboratory
equipment and process technology, adhesives can be custom-formulated to
meet the customer's exact requirements.
Alternatively, Chemipat can work with
customers, developing either
their own, or Chemipat starter formulations, and fine tunethese to meet
the exact performance criteria required.
The advances made in polymer technology
in recent years enables the use
of structural adhesives in critical bonding situations where mechanical
fixings have previously been used.
Natural rubber was the original raw
material in our industry. Over the
years it has been joined by many other synthetic polymers, but it is
still used in large quantities and indeed itself comes in different
varieties. After collection of the tapped latex, rubber is recovered
from emulsion by coagulation with formic acid, creating crumbs that
resemble curds of milk. The crumbs are washed, dried between rolls, and
compacted into blocks 67 by 33 by 18 centimetres (26 by 13 by 7.5
inches) in size and weighing 33.3 kilograms (73 pounds). The blocks are
then wrapped in polyethylene sheets and packed into one-ton crates for
shipping.
Chemipat is able to utilise the differing
physical characteristics of
each type of natural rubber to produce adhesives suitable for many
different industrial applications.
Today, natural rubber constitutes less
than half of the rubber on the
market; the rest is rubber that is produced synthetically by means of
chemical processes that were partly known in the 19th century but were
not applied commercially until the second half of the 20th century,
after World War II.
The origins of synthetic elastomers can
be traced to the first half of
the 19th century, when attempts were made to elucidate the composition
and structure of natural rubber with the eventual goal of reproducing
the material. In 1838 the German F.C. Himly obtained a volatile
distillate from the substance, and in 1860 the Englishman C. Greville
Williams broke down rubber by distillation into three parts--oil, tar,
and "spirit"--this last part being the more volatile fraction and the
main constituent, which Williams named isoprene. The Frenchman Georges
Bouchardat, with the aid of hydrogen chloride gas and prolonged
distillation, converted isoprene to a rubberlike substance in 1875, and
in 1882 another Briton, W.A. Tilden, produced isoprene by the
destructive distillation of turpentine. Tilden also assigned isoprene
the structural formula CH2=C(CH3)-CH=CH2.
The efforts outlined above were attempts
to replicate natural rubber.
It was only when the search for chemical equivalence to natural rubber
was abandoned, and comparable physical properties were emphasized, that
synthetic rubber came into being. The choice fell upon butadiene (CH2
=CH-CH=CH2), a compound similar to isoprene, as the basis for a
synthetic product. Developed due to shortages of natural rubber
(particularly in war-time), Synthetic rubbers have proliferated over
the years, and there are now very many polymer types, all of which have
advantages for performing different tasks.
Polyurethane adhesives can be supplied
based on a large number of
different urethanes. One and two-pack systems are available to suit

Since our formation in 1989, we have
developed and diversified into all
areas of carbohydrate research, synthesis and analysis. We have a range
of over 250 catalogue products plus carbohydrate building blocks and
combinatorial libraries. At the same time we retain a flexible approach
to tackling new projects and challenges in the areas of carbohydrate
chemistry and biology.
Oligosaccharides. We have a unique range
of simple and complex
oligosaccharides that have been obtained by synthesis, isolation and
degradation. They include O-linked structures, blood group A,B,O and
Lewis antigens, core structures and sialylated compounds. We specialise
too in a range of antigens with the terminal Gala1-3Gal (Galili)
determinant. We are developing an unrivalled range of complex N-linked
structures and offer many disaccharides and sulphated sugars derived
from glycosaminoglycans.
Glycoconjugates. We have developed an
extensive range of
neoglycoproteins, neoglycolipids and biotinylated sugars using
proprietary linker technology and can offer several linker sugar
combinations with different chain lengths. We can also make affinity
matrices using this and derived techniques to suit customer
requirements.
Carbohydrate Building Blocks. We can
supply an extensive range of
modified carbohydrates that can be used for coupling reactions and
complex syntheses to save time in customer work programmes. These
products include trichloroacetimidates, thioglycosides, glycals, amino
sugars and carboxylic acids.
Carbohydrate-based libraries. In our
Libris joint venture, we are able
to offer libraries for combinatorial chemistry. These ranges include
libraries based on 5 and 6 membered carbohydrate scaffolds, nucleoside
analogues, plus terpene, steroid and alkaloid glycosides.
Analytical Services. Our analytical
service covers all aspects of
biomedical and food carbohydrates. For glycoproteins we offer a full
glycosylation service including monosaccharide composition,
oligosaccharide profiling and sequencing, and molecular mass by mass
spectroscopy. For polysaccharides, methylation and fragment analysis by
NMR spectroscopy can be provided. Other services include analysis by
HPLC and electrophoresis.
Dextra can also offer services related to
drug development including
stability trials to ICH guidelines and method validation for both API

Epichem's original product offering was
primarily a line of ultra-
high-purity metalorganic chemicals. Thanks to proprietary adduct
purification techniques, our facilities yield volatile compounds of Al,
Ga, In, As, P, Zn, Fe, Mg, Sb, N, Te and Cd with purities unmatched in
the industry. The metalorganics are used in the growth of thin films of
compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide and indium phosphide.
A wide range of electronic and optoelectronic devices are made from
these materials including light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers,
detectors and solar cells. We also manufacture chemicals used to grow
thin films of diamond and silicon carbide, high temperature
superconductors and optomagnetic materials.
We have since added dedicated facilities
for the production of the
gases, boron trichloride and silane. These are used in the silicon
industry, for the production of semiconductor devices. Silane is also
used to produce thin glass coatings, e.g., for double and triple
glazing. Boron trichloride can also be used in the pharmaceutical
industry.
As a result of the Inorgtech acquisition,
Epichem oxides and nitrides
now offers metal alkoxide, alkylamide and beta-diketonate precursors
for advanced materials technology. These products are used in a wide
range of applications such as ferroelectric, ferrite, superconducting
and piezoelectric thin films, barrier films in VLSI technology and
antireflection coatings. Application techniques include metalorganic
chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), atomic layer deposition process
(ALD), sol-gel, spin-coating, dip-coating, spray coating and vapour
infiltration, depending on the desired material property.
Since the re-organization of the Epichem
Group, the new Epichem Surface
Coatings group has emerged. This sector produces chemicals for
application to various building surfaces to protect from weathering,
frost/thaw damage and graffiti. "Dynasylan BSM" is a water repellent
product which will offer the ideal protection when applied to surfaces
such as brick, mortar, concrete, etc. and act as a protective coating
so that damaging weather conditions do not permanently destroy the
building surface. "Protectosil Antigraffiti" treated surfaces are so
repellent to coatings and paints, that they act as a deterrent to
further graffiti "tagging", and really speed up the cleaning process.
Epichem has dynamic customer service
teams in the UK and the US, and
a network of agents in all other countries to take care of customer
support worldwide. The Customer Service department liases closely with
sales and production to give appropriate dates for a fast and reliable
supply of material. The teams work closely with the customers to build
lasting relationships, ensuring that Epichem maintains its reputation
of being a reliable, fair and trustworthy company. Epichem prides
itself in the good standard of service that it provides through an
exceptional customer service department.
