Lab Services & Product Development That Scale With You
From bench trials to full-scale production, Valentine Chemicals partners with technical teams to develop, test, and scale custom formulations, all under one roof.
Your R&D Ally — Not Just a Processor
Built for Chemists, by Chemists
When your partner supports everything from early-stage idea evaluation to pilot trial design and scale-up planning, you gain more than just a manufacturer, you gain a true extension of your R&D team. At Valentine, we work alongside formulation scientists, chemists, and technical directors to help you iterate and optimize the best version of your chemical products
Integrated Lab Services
Our on-site development lab allows for rapid testing of custom formulations, slurries, and blends, helping you validate the process. During production runs, our QC lab provides real-time monitoring to ensure each batch meets your exact standards.
Technical Consultation & Feasibility Assessments
Our team can help you select the optimal process method–whether drum or spray drying to liquid or dry blending to solids milling–for your formulation based on its behavior. And we can adjust as needed; there are no locked-in specs needed to get started.
This means you can scale-up faster and expect to have to make fewer reformulations later.
What We Help You Build
From Bench Scale to Pilot to Production
We provide support for liquid formulations, slurries, polymers, and custom blends. We specialize in both spray and drum drying, whether pilot scale or mass production. We also offer blending and synthesis services.
So whether your product is a granule, powder, polymer, micro-nutrient carrier, or other chemical, we can make it.
Custom Chemical Formulation Services
We offer formulation of industrial, agricultural, and specialty chemicals tailored to your specifications. We possess deep liquid-to-powder expertise with extensive spray drying, drum drying, and polymer reactions experience.
Integrated Processing = Faster Scale-Up
Everything Under One Roof
From our Lockport, Louisiana facility, we offer everything you need from a toll manufacturer in one place: liquid synthesis, drying, blending, and packaging. This reduces your number of vendor handoffs and shipping delay and quality risks.
Packaging Flexibility
Choose from a wide range of packaging options — including bags, drums, pails, supersacks, and private-label formats — tailored to your product and end-use requirements. We also offer secure warehousing and over 5,000 square feet of temperature-controlled storage to safeguard both raw materials and finished goods.
