The best water-soluble polymers don't come from a drum, they come from years of experience synthesizing and manufacturing products to provide specific benefits and cost performance. Customers that require a solution specific to their application need a supplier capable of offering more than a list of off-the-shelf products. WSP Chemicals & Technology, Inc. is committed to using advanced polymer technology, innovative products and practical consulting to maximize application benefits and offer superior cost-performance.

Mechanical Modification

Mechanical modifications are vital to high quality polymers and tight production specifications that optimize application performance.

• Fractionation/Distillation
• Membrane Filtration
• Ion Exchange
• Carbon Treatment
• Reaction Process

Modifications result in both performance improvements and cost savings.

Chemical Modification

Benefits derived from water-soluble polymers are based on a combination of chemical/physical properties to enhance structure-performance criteria. A polymer's basic properties - monomer composition, charge density, molecular weight and distribution - can be modified to achieve a variety of application results.

• Cross-linking/Branching
• Grafting
• Hydrophobic Modification
• Core-Shell Technology
• Polyampholyte Modifications
• Specialty Monomers
• Interpenetrating Polymer Network

By considering application conditions and controlling these factors, the performance of a polymer can be tailored to meet specific criteria.

Delivery Form

Experience with product delivery form plays an important role in overcoming the conflict between increasing molecular weight and solids levels to achieve performance goals while maintaining manageable viscosity. The ability to transition a chemistry from one form to another expands the possible range of polymer solutions to any application problem.

Customer Benefits

WSP focuses on producing high quality versions of standard polymers, modifications of existing products and unique polymers for custom solutions.
By offering polymers with greater stability and compatibility, higher activity and lower VOCs that are more environmentally friendly, we hope to provide our customers a method of differentiating themselves in the market.
