Partner Services

Shepherd Chemical strives to be a true partner to our collaborative customers. In the spirit of our partnerships, Shepherd Chemical is committed to providing the following services in our development work:

• Review of regulatory impacts for new products developed for your technology
• Collaborative reviews and industry assessments to help your team develop and narrow product options for your application.
• Review of raw materials and metals forms which can be utilized as staring materials for your products. This includes review of metals availability, price volatility, and purity of commercially available starting materials to allow you to make informed decisions on your alternatives.
• Synthesis of multiple samples based on product variables which we control and modify to optimize the performance of our materials in your application.
• Full characterization of our products produced for your technology including in-situ analyses of our products in your matrix/application.
• Activity testing where appropriate to screen best possible candidates for your application and subsequent testing.
• In all of our work we are guided by our core purpose to maintain confidentiality and respect for our partner's intellectual property.

Each development project within Shepherd is lead by a project manager who calls on the project team to draw on Shepherd’s experience and technical capability in order to achieve the greatest possible chance for success in our development efforts with our partners.

In this section of the website we offer the opportunity for our current partners and those seeking to begin development work with us to start a dialog on the aspects above. Should our electronic exchange broaden to several members of each company we will establish a secure area on this site to easily facilitate the transfer of information between companies. We are committed to our collaborative approach and seek opportunities to utilize this approach with current and new customers.
