Custom Chemical Manufacturing Lifts the Burden of Regulatory Concerns

by | Dec 14, 2016 | Custom & Toll Chemical Manufacturing

custom chemical manufacturingManufacturing chemicals onsite for use in the production of other products can create a bit of a regulatory nightmare for many companies. With regulations and oversight in place at both state and federal levels, producing chemical components in-house can fast become an expensive and time-consuming option that opens-up companies, and their workers, to a variety of risks. Custom chemical manufacturing providers can take away these risks while potentially saving their clients a great deal of time and money in the process.

Custom chemical manufacturing companies are third-party providers that have businesses dedicated specifically to the production of component chemicals on behalf of their clients. These firms specialize in the creation of client-required chemicals and may also serve as chemical toll manufacturers. When they are contracted to create chemicals for others, clients can anticipate these benefits in relation to regulatory compliance:

  • Removal of risks – Custom chemical manufacturing facilities are geared primarily to the production of chemicals. These, often large operations, are built to meet or exceed state and federal regulations for health and safety. Since they formulate chemicals for clients, they take on the risk that goes along with production. In doing so, they have the expertise and skill to provide necessary oversight for worker and environmental safety.
  • Lowered costs – Companies that don’t specialize in chemical production are likely to find setting up chemical manufacturing operations within their own facilities can be a very costly venture. This is especially so when the attempt is made to meet all health and safety requirements. Since chemical toll manufacturers who work on behalf of clients already have operations in place, they can often create the finished product for much less than clients would be able to do so themselves.

Meeting all EPA and OSHA requirements for chemical manufacturing can be a time-consuming, tedious and costly venture for many companies. Custom chemical manufacturing firms already have the safeguards in place. They take on the risks while ensuring clients obtain the finished products they need for their operations. In doing so, they save clients time, money and headaches.
