About Wavertree Solutions
Our Vision
At Wavertree Solutions, our vision is centered on harnessing technology to address humanity's most urgent challenges. With this vision in mind, our primary focus is on delivering solvent systems that surpass existing options in technical performance. However, our core mission goes beyond mere technical superiority; we strive to offer solutions that are not only more environmentally friendly but also less toxic and more compliant with regulations than current alternatives. Remarkably, these dual objectives are typically achieved simultaneously, underscoring our commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Our Expertise
Wavertree's extensive expertise spans decades in the development of coatings, encompassing both solvent-borne and water-borne formulations. This includes proficiency in latent solvents commonly utilized in the latter category, where our in-depth understanding of colloid science plays a pivotal role. Moreover, our capabilities extend to resin manufacturing and various applications where solvents are integral, including scenarios requiring aprotic options.
We recognize the diverse constraints inherent in these processes, such as boiling points and other specific requirements. Leveraging our knowledge, we integrate these constraints into our designs, resulting in a spectrum of viable alternatives meticulously tailored to meet the unique needs of our customers. Whether it's optimizing solvent systems for coatings, resin production, or other applications, our adaptable approach ensures innovative solutions that address a multitude of challenges effectively.
Our Approach
Wavertree firmly believes in a collaborative approach to every project, emphasizing close partnership with our clients to not only meet but exceed their expectations. Leveraging sophisticated software alongside an extensive database of solvent properties, we identify promising candidates tailored to specific project requirements.
Typically, we present our clients with several cost-effective options based on our initial analysis. These options are then tested in the clients' facilities to gauge performance. While the first iteration often meets requirements, we remain attentive to any "unstated constraints" that may arise during testing. Addressing such additional needs is seamless for us; we incorporate them into subsequent iterations of solvent solutions.
Based on our experience, we find that typically 2-3 iterations are necessary to fully address and resolve all identified needs. Throughout this iterative process, we maintain open communication with our clients, ensuring that the final solvent solution not only meets their technical specifications but also aligns with their broader objectives and goals.
