| Specialized Services Each project that comes into APS laboratory is treated on an individual basis. APS will use their extraordinary capabilities in chemical grafting to select the proper combination of substrate activator, monomers/prepolymers and catalysts according to the submitted requirements. The substrate activators form bonding sites on the substrate(s) molecules and the monomers/prepolymers polymerize to form new polymer side chains on these activated sites. The project team will develop a new formulation in the form of a coating, additive into a resin (solid or liquid) or adhesive between materials. APS will use their extraordinary capabilities in molecular bonding to select the proper combination of catalysts and monomers/prepolymers according to the submitted requirements. Catalysts will activate the substrates and the monomers/prepolymers will polymerize to form new polymer side chains on the substrate. The monomers/prepolymers (and their combinations) are chosen according to their functional group to achieve the new desired properties. These new side chains will be chemically bonded to the substrate by a covalent linkage, therefore the new functionalities cannot be leached from the substrate even under severe conditions. |
| Testing Testing is performed at APS laboratory according to the submitted required procedures to ensure performance requirements are being met and reproducible results are secured. APS laboratory is |
| Exclusivity At the conclusion of the project, APS offers our clients the option of obtaining exclusivity. APS will write a project report in patent application form, if requested. In addition, APS will agree to not engage in work in this project area for any company in that industry. This service gives APS clients a huge competitive edge. APS formulations are unique and our expertise is impossible to reproduce or reverse engineered. Consequently, APS clients will have a more superior performing and durable product. In addition, with APS' high regard for confidentiality, all information is kept between APS and its clients. |
| Application Once the formulation is successfully developed, APS will assist in implementation of the chemical grafting formulation at the manufacturer's facility. If necessary, an APS chemist will |
go to that facility to help in upscaling into large scale
production. Most formulations are applied in one step and
existing equipment can be utilized. All APS formulations
are easily adaptable to any manufacturing method. APS

fully equipped with the necessary means to
successfully formulate and test new chemistries.
This includes homogenizers, centrifuges, coating
equipment, extruders, ovens, salt spray chamber,
and a huge inventory of monomers, prepolymers
and pigments/dyes. Samples are treated, tested
accordingly and submitted to the company. Special
software programs and the internet are used to
assist in analysis of molecules and reactions and to
keep APS chemists up-to-date on new products,
enhancing APS' capabilities.
