Scientific and chemistry problem-solving and consultancy
Technical solutions to a problem or issue are not always obvious, but with our wide-ranging industrial and academic R&D experience behind us, we believe it always helps to think about what is fundamentally going on at a molecular level. In our experience, a detailed understanding of how your product or industrial process works can have unforseen advantages that will only become obvious afterwards.
EF Chemical Consulting can help by providing an experienced independent chemist to the project. Sometimes research of the scientific literature can help, sometimes targeted non-routine analysis, often carried out in university departments. We will suggest ways to proceed. In all cases, we intend to be flexible with the customer and honest about what we can or can't do.
