Master alloys and alloying additives are alloy element concentrates, grain refiners, hardeners, deoxidants and other agents added into a melt or metal powder blend to produce a particular alloy, modify a melt or alter processing characteristics

Chemical additives and agents include a wide range of materials added to polymer resins, paints and coatings, or adhesives to modify specific processing or end-use properties

Cleaning agents and surface treatments includes liquid cleaners, degreasers, strippers, passivators, etchants, solutions and additives for cleaning and surface preparation

Mold releases and release agents are film forming lubricating oils, solid lubricants, waxes, fluids or coatings that prevent other materials from sticking or adhering to an underlying surface

Biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing services manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients, sterilize biomedical components or materials, validate processes or packaging, and formulate drug or medicinal preparations on a contract basis.

Explosives and energetic materials store and rapidly release large amounts of energy for demolition, munitions, missile propulsion, and explosive-forming applications.

Chemical and material processing services modify or produce chemicals, powders, foods, minerals, rubber, plastics, adhesives, and other bulk materials on a contractual, toll or fee basis. Common processes include compounding, distillation, drying, formulation, mixing, blending, purification, extraction, synthesis, and powder milling.

Biosensors, microarrays, biochips and lab-on-chip (LOC) products are microscale devices for biological, biochemical and chemical assays. They consist of microfluidic channels and a biodetector or microsensor arrays.

Bioanalytical services encompasses pharmaceutical, agricultural, biological, microbial and other life science testing and analysis.

Chemical manufacturing and synthesis services providers manufacture or synthesize organic or inorganic chemicals on a contract basis.

Surface and corrosion protection products are used to provide protection to industrial surfaces particularly in the marine, transportation, chemical process, pulp and paper, and petroleum industries.

Career management, development and placement services include consultants, businesses, organizations and employment agencies that provide information and resources related to employment and career direction.

Primers and adhesion promoters are applied to a substrate to enhance the bond strength between a surface coating (e.g., clear coats, adhesives) and the substrate.

Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints.

Sensor chips are dies incorporating semiconductor circuit elements that are used to convert changes to some physical parameter to an electrical signal.
