| Cray Valley's Rheology and Surface Modifiers |
|
Cray Valley has been manufacturing the Crayvallac® range of rheology and surface modifiers for more than forty years. Today these products are stocked and sold in over 100 countries around the world - using a sales infrastructure consisting of both our own local facilities and a comprehensive network of distributors. From the early 1960s until June 2004, production of these additives and modifiers was centred around the Cray Valley Machen manufacturing complex in South Wales, UK. Today these same additives and modifiers are now manufactured in our new purpose built facility at Drocourt, in the north of France near Lille. Drocourt is an existing Cray Valley resin manufacturing complex operating on a 23 hectare site and certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The construction of this modern additives facility at Drocourt represents the culmination of some 40 years experience in the fields of micronisation, particle size control and particle size analysis. As well as undertaking an overall capacity expansion, a high level of automation and computer control has been adopted to ensure Cray Valley remains a quality producer of rheology and surface modifiers. As the manufacture of each additive product was transferred to Drocourt, extensive technical qualification was undertaken by our research centre to ensure that the characterisation, performance and overall integrity of each product remained unchanged. Cray Valley is committed to the ongoing development of new additive products as part of its drive to remain a world class leader of rheology and surface modifiers. Over the last few years, Cray Valleys high level of technical commitment and its vast experience in the fields of rheology and coatings technology have facilitated the introduction of many new rheology and surface modifiers for use in a wide range of applications. Cray Valleys business strategy is further supported by a central research facility located close to Paris, France. From this location some 65 scientists and research chemists work together to support the activities of Cray Valleys Resin Division at a more fundamental level in a wide range of chemistries and application areas. For more information regarding the activities of Cray Valley, please visit us at our central Cray Valley website: www.crayvalley.com This website has been commissioned to assist our customers by providing up to date technical information on the CRAYVALLAC® range of Rheology and Surface Modifiers. We hope you find this website both informative and useful. If you have any suggestions regarding the structure and content, then please send your comments to: Neil Tariq - Business Director |
