Materials Science

Free-radical, RAFT, ATRP, and ring-opening polymerisation reactions all require high-purity monomers, initiators, and chain-transfer agents with well-defined inhibitor levels. We stock a range of acrylate, methacrylate, vinyl, and styrenic monomers alongside thermal and photoinitiators, cross-linkers, and functional monomers for specialty polymer applications.

Metal alkoxides and organosilanes are the key precursors for producing oxide thin films, coatings, and porous materials via sol-gel processing. Our alkoxide range — silicon, titanium, zirconium, and aluminium — is supplied under inert atmosphere with controlled hydrolysis inhibitors, enabling reproducible film formation for optical coatings, dielectrics, and catalytic membranes.

Controlled surface chemistry is critical for biosensor fabrication, adhesion promotion, hydrophobic/hydrophilic patterning, and nanoparticle functionalisation. We supply silane coupling agents, thiol compounds, phosphonic acids, and click-chemistry reagents for modifying glass, metal oxide, gold, and polymer substrates.

Microelectronics fabrication requires ultra-pure process chemicals — cleaning solvents, etchants, and developers — with metallic impurity levels in the sub-ppb range. Our electronic-grade isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide, hydrofluoric acid, and phosphoric acid meet SEMI standards for ULSI wafer processing, PCB manufacturing, and flat-panel display production.
