Enhancing Manufacturing Efficiency: A Deep Dive into Contract Manufacturing

In today's highly competitive and regulated chemical manufacturing landscape, efficiency and expertise are the keys to success. Bomar is committed to helping businesses optimize their production processes and supply chain, and our contract manufacturing services are a cornerstone of that commitment. In this blog post, we'll delve deep into the intricacies of contract manufacturing and how partnering with us can be a game-changer for your business.

Understanding Contract Manufacturing

Contract manufacturing is a strategic partnership between your company and a specialized manufacturer like Bomar. It involves outsourcing the production of specific components or products to a trusted third-party with expertise in various manufacturing processes. This approach is well-suited to formulators who want to avoid costly capital investment in manufacturing equipment and processes to produce specially designed ingredients or formulations. Bomar takes this concept to the next level by also offering a holistic approach that includes synthesis as well as contract blending services.

Synthesis: Precision at the Core

Our journey begins with synthesis, the art of creating chemical compounds from raw materials through precise chemical reactions. Bomar specializes in urethane acrylate oligomer synthesis and Michael addition chemistry, using decades of experience to produce high-quality specialty oligomers and polymers tailored to your unique requirements.

The Synthesis Capabilities
  1. Customization:
    We work with both 100% solids or solvent-borne products and utilize 316 stainless steel reactors with varied capacities to provide you with a scale-up product unique to your needs. We also support customer with joint development scenarios, where we can take your concept and leverage our expertise to develop a robust solution for your application’s needs.
  2. Quality Control:
    Our synthesis processes adhere to rigorous quality control measures, ensuring that every product meets or exceeds industry standards. We ensure that specified hazardous materials are shipped in compliance with all regulations. This commitment to quality guarantees reliable, consistent, and high-quality materials.
  3. Scalability:
    Synthesis is highly scalable. With our 316 stainless steel reactors with 10, 55, 500, 1,000, and 1,500 gallon capacity, we can produce oligomers and polymers in small batches of 18kg for research and development and up to 5,100kg to meet large-scale production demands, offering flexibility tailored to your project's scope.
  4. Support
    In addition to scale-up services we also offer other support services such as researching and QC/QA labs to support production and advise on compliance concerns.
     

Contract Blending: Precision Mixing Redefined

Contract blending is the art of precisely mixing chemicals and components to create final products that meet your exact specifications. While we can support a wide range of formulation types, Bomar specializes in chemical contract blending used in UV nail gel formulations and 3D printing resins. We also support both Newtonian and thixotropic formulations with various temperature control and mixer options, with a batch size capability from 2 – 5,100 kg. 

The Contract Blending Advantage
  1. Efficiency:
    Outsourcing the blending process to experts like Bomar streamlines your operations, reduces labor costs, and eliminates the need for specialized equipment and storage space. For formulations that already utilize a Bomar ingredient, we can achieve cost efficiency by streamlining production down to a single-pot process in many cases.
  2. Custom Formulations:
    Contract blending enables us to create custom formulations by blending synthesized compounds with other ingredients, achieving precise characteristics, such as viscosity, color, and performance. Our technical experts have extensive experience designing custom oligomers for 3D printing and nail gel coating industries. Final packing options include 3ml syringes, 1l bottles, pails, drums, or other custom options.
  3. Quality Assurance:
    Our contract blending processes are backed by stringent quality assurance protocols, ensuring that the final product meets your specifications. Our production team ensures that these materials are shipped in compliance with regulatory guidelines.
