Nutritional food value is becoming increasingly important due to heightened consumer awareness. The goal was to deliver new nutritional food technology without compromising taste for the consumer. New manufacturing techniques are being developed as companies bring new products to market.

Product development is a key step in validating market segment fit. When supply must be met and manufacturing plans are still undefined, an organization like Ascent Chemicals can add security to a supply chain. The technical knowhow of Ascent Chemicals comes with every project, primarily focused on horizontal reactor technologies.

Specialty adhesives have seen substantial growth in the past five years. This product line requires powerful processing equipment to drive the high viscosity process through its “phase change” from low viscosity liquid to high viscosity paste or powder and has shown a strong fit with horizontal reactors. Ascent Chemicals has positioned itself with a number of key manufacturers and emerging technologies to provide a unique solution to this growth segment.
