WSP Chemicals & Technology, Inc. maintains state-of-the-art water-soluble polymer laboratory and scale-up capabilities for solving product specific problems and conducting longer term development projects. "Practical Consulting" means that all projects undertaking by WSP will have clearly defined objects, milestones and end results that satisfy customers and add value to a project. WSP is organized into four functional groups - Customer Fulfillment, Polymer Development, Commercialization and Quality Management.

Customer Fulfillment

Customer fulfillment may seem like a strange component in a technical service program, but WSP believes that a clear channel of communication is vital to the success of any technical venture.

• Project Management Team
• Stage/Gate Process Control
• Communication

Any large project will be organized using project teams to guide a stage-gate process to provide progress reports and cost control capability.

Commercialization

Both internally developed products and chemistry provided from customers can be rapidly scaled-up and manufactured to consistently meet quality targets.

• Scale-Up Evaluation
• Product Supply
• Toll Manufacturing

WSP manufacturing capabilities include solution, emulsion and dry polymers.

Polymer Development

WSP personnel can act as independent contractors or work as a supplement to existing R&D groups to provide additional experience and manpower.

• Concept Demonstration
• Sample Generation
• Custom Synthesis
• Patent Circumvention

Polymer development can be an end in itself, or serve as the first step in evaluating and commercializing a product.

Quality Management Group

Product support and quality control ensure that products developed and manufactured by WSP perform consistently at the highest level.

• Application Testing
• Quality Control
• Product Evaluation
• Patent Development

Quality and commitment to setting the standard for consistency are the basis of the Quality Management function.
