uk chemical manufacturers guide

Registered to BS EN ISO 9002:1994, we offer many variations from our
standard range of stock items, to individually meet customers moisture
protection requirements.

Items in store or transit can often be irrevocably damaged by water
vapour in the surrounding atmosphere that causes corrosion or mould
growth.

With the simple precaution of a safe and inexpensive desiccant silica
gel sachet enclosed with the item, these problems can be eliminated.

Silica gel will adsorb the offending water vapour and thus produce a
dry, low humidity atmosphere in which this problem does not occur.

I H Laboratories was established in 1974 to carry out research and
production of hydrophilic materials for industrial uses. The first
application was for the manufacture of contact lenses. The materials
developed were marketed in the period 1975 to 1979 under the trade name
of Duragel, by a limited company of the same name created purely as a
sales company. In 1978 another company was formed, Duragel-Duralens,
which sold lenses in the UK, made in Sweden by Scanlens AB, who were
one of Duragel's largest customers. In December 1979, Duragel and
Duragel-Duralens were sold to Coopervision, a large US ophthalmic
manufacturer, later acquired by Pilkington and more recently by Wesley
Jessen Inc.

In 1982 I H Polymeric Ltd. trading as Polymeric Sciences was formed to
supply contact lens materials. Although this part of the business had
been sold, continuing demand by previous customers of Duragel as a
result of commercial decisions by Coopervision, led to a resumption of
these activities. Polymeric Sciences continues to supply contact lens
materials world wide, and includes both the French and UK contact lens
laboratories of Wesley Jessen PBH, Moorfields Eye Hospital in London,
and many of the UK contact lens producers.

In 1992 links with universities (Surrey and the Cranfield Institute)
were established to further enhance the development of new products and
applications. Patents include materials for contact lens applications
and a patent on deformable polymeric compositions which is of
importance in that it covers the principle of shrink recovery which has
potential applications in dental and construction products.

Currently the Company supplies specialist hydrophilic materials under
confidentiality agreements to international companies, in some cases as
the sole supplier.

The quality system is accredited by SGS Yarsley ICS to the requirements
of BSENISO 9002, BSEN 46002 & ISO 13488. The quality assurance policy,
systems and procedures that operate within the Company are set out to
meet and often exceed these standards.

Quality assurance is the planned and systematic actions necessary to
provide adequate confidence that the product will satisfy given
requirements for quality.

Mining and Chemical Products Limited (MCP) was formed in London in
1929 to take over the refining and marketing of Aramayo Bismuth in Europe.

When the Company's mines in Bolivia were nationalised in 1952, MCP
became the focus for global expansion of the Group, and following
ventures into Pure Drugs, Electronic Materials and Component
Distribution, MCP has crystallised into the Group we know today.

There are major companies in England, Germany and America, along with
growing subsidiaries in France, Italy, Spain and Belarus.

Bismuth and Minor Metals remain at the heart of the MCP Group. The
introduction in the 1970's of 'Rapid Prototyping' - a fast and
inexpensive process for the production of prototype and short-run
tooling - began a quarter century of intensive innovation and expansion
within the Group.

Product Divisions

However, with advances in the product portfolio being a key part of
MCP's strategic growth policy, six distinct product divisions now
exist.

Metals and Chemicals
Bismuth Chemicals
Low Melting Point Alloys
Rapid Prototyping and Tooling Technologies
Injection Moulding Machines
Patient Fixation Systems

International Presence and Customer Service

>From MCP's earliest days as a Bismuth specialist a global approach to
distribution and marketing has been called for. An International
presence is important too for raw material purchasing and trade in
scrap and residues. Our local companies and agents have become a key
factor in our determination to provide un-equalled customer service.

An important task for MCP is to develop further our markets in Eastern
Europe and Asia. The establishment in 1997 of MCP Technology in Minsk
has been the first step in this direction.

Demonstration centres are also important to ensure effective
communication with customers. Trained application engineers, operating
in purpose built centres, are best able to deal with client queries and
advise on the latest techniques and materials.

Market Leading Initiatives

With on-going customer service being critical to success, MCP enjoys
extensive dialogue with Universities and Institutes to ensure that our
concepts are always 'out in front'.

The Groups' central laboratories have been expanded and re-equipped and
are now housed in a state-of-art facility providing an unrivalled
service to MCP companies.

Quality control is at the heart of every successful business and MCP's
specialist High Purity Metals unit, now directly linked to the
Laboratory for optimum control, is a fine example of this philosophy.

The MCP Group has been famous for Bismuth since the 19th Century when
the founding Aramayo family owned a mine in Bolivia and exported the
metal to Europe.

Mining & Chemical Products Ltd (MCP) was fully incorporated in England
in 1929 as a processing operation and has shown solid growth since
then.

The Company now specialises in five minor metals, including Bismuth,
Tellurium, Selenium, Indium and Gallium.

Modern high purity, chemical and alloy manufacturing facilities (ISO
9002 approved) are based in England while the German factory (MCP Hek
GmbH) constitutes the world's leading producer of Bismuth Chemicals.

These products comply with FDA and GMP standards. (Sales, distribution
and alloy manufacturing are also located in Connecticut, USA).

Perstorp UK Ltd’s vision is to become number one in the UK OXO alcohols
industry.

At Perstorp UK, we are committed to quality. Whilst phrases such as
this abound in modern corporate culture, we say it and mean it. Our
industry’s primary variables – price and quality – are nearly
indistinguishable between competitors. In order to satisfy our mission
of being customers’ preferred supplier, we must therefore excel in
quality of service.

Since the incorporation of the acclaimed EFQM Excellence Model into our
daily operations, we have regularly reviewed and improved our mission
statement, values and processes. In 1998, we joined Excellence North
West to network on a regional basis with their members; at our first
attempt, we won the main 1998 North West Quality Award for Services
General (0-25 employees). We continue to attend their Business
Excellence Model workshops, sharing best practice days and other
membership activities.

The pathway towards business excellence should not be regarded as
finite. Central to our business philosophy is the cultivation of a
policy of continuous improvement – a desire to fine-tune our processes
so that we can deliver a higher quality of service to our customers and
greater profit to our shareholders.

As a measure of our commitment to the journey, the accolades we have
achieved are convincing – in 1994 we were awarded Investors in People
certification (re-certified in 1998); in November 2000, we won the
North West Excellence Millennium Award. At the 2001 UK Business
Excellence Awards, we were one of the first companies in Europe to be
presented with a European Recognition Certificate for Business
Excellence, by the European Foundation for Quality Management.

Although the recognition of excellence on such a platform is to be
welcomed, at Perstorp UK we regard these successes simply as bonuses.
After all, our main concern is not to fill a trophy cabinet or paper
our walls with certificates – the outcomes of our progress are not the
awards themselves; rather, they are indicative of the improvements we
can deliver to our stakeholders and, most importantly, our customers.

Warwick International is a leading supplier of speciality chemicals
that is recognised both for excellence in customer service and product
quality. Warwick International is part of Sequa Corporation of the USA,
which has a turnover of $1.8 billion.

With headquarters in the UK, chemical distribution companies in Spain,
France, Italy, Portugal and South Africa as well as offices in Latin
America and the Asia-Pacific region, Warwick International manufactures
and markets speciality chemicals for a diverse range of industrial
applications.

Warwick International is the world leader in bleach activator
technology for detergent applications and markets the MYKON™ bleach
activators based on tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED).

Our team dedicated to serving the global household product
manufacturing industry includes sales and customer service backed up by
scientists working from our fully equipped performance evaluation,
agglomeration/granulate development and research and development
laboratories, which include in-house detergent test facilities.

Over the past 20 years, wash temperatures in Europe have been reduced
to 40°C and wash cycle times have been shortened driven by the need for
energy and water conservation, the use of more synthetic fabric blends
and greater use of coloured textiles.

In many parts of the world, wash temperatures in the range 20 to 40°C
are now common, with cycle times as short as 15 minutes.

In addition, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the need for
good home hygiene. At low temperatures where there is no thermal
disinfection this provides an additional challenge for the detergent
formulator.

MYKON™ bleach activators based on TAED are multifunctional ingredients
used in a variety of detergent applications. They are used as part of
the bleach system in a detergent formulation with a peroxygen source,
e.g. sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate to provide:

Bleach activation at low temperatures
Effective biocidal activators

Typical use includes:
Domestic laundry detergents
Automatic dishwashing
Bleach boosters
Laundry soak treatments

Industrial and institutional laundry - although MYKON™ products are
suitable for general laundry needs, for specific biocidal requirements
we recommend the WARWICK B Series of products.
