CONTRACT RESEARCH
Often times, coming up with the great idea is the easy part…
Turning that idea into a product and getting that product to market is the real challenge.
Agriculture
-
SCF has developed and patented several polymer-based controlled release coatings for a variety of fertilizer substrates from conception through to process implementation
-
SCF has created binders and adhesive carriers for the application of herbicides and other adjuvants directly to fertilizer granules.
-
SCF developed chemistries and associated application methods to minimize dust formation during the industrial process where micronutrients were incorporated into fertilizer granules
-
SCF worked in conjunction with the University of Florida to study the effects of biostimulant application on soil microbiology and turf response at an active golf course.
Household & Institutional Cleaning
- SCF formulated and tested enzyme based laundry and auto-dish detergents based on the market drivers of cost, performance, and shelf stability.
- SCF supported marketing efforts through standard method and modified test methods on novel bio-based surfactant chemistries, both on the raw materials and in formulated products.
- SCF developed and patented an amphoteric surfactant system to formulate clear microemulsions with household and industrial cleaning solvents.
- SCF developed the chemistry and production processes for agricultural by-products that have utility as soil antiredeposition agents, dye transfer inhibitors, and soil repellents.
- SCF developed and implemented a QA/QC system for an international distributor of household and industrial products to maintain ISO certification.
Industrial Specialties
- SCF developed technology to improve settling rates of suspended clay in wastewater settling ponds in the phosphate industry
- SCF developed, from concept to production, novel chemistries to remove dangerous hydrogen sulfide from both oil and aqueous systems.
- SCF formulated a novel treatment for marine metal surfaces that provided corrosion protection, water repellency and UV protection.
