In-house R&D and laboratory
Production, R&D and laboratory capabilities operate side by side at our Riga facilities. New effects move from idea to reproducible product without leaving the site — and every batch is verified against the standard.
Innovation & R&D
Innovation is not a department. It's how we operate.
Since 2012, ChemTech has grown by continuously developing and introducing new products that help customers create distinctive visual effects while staying commercially competitive. Our production, R&D and laboratory work as one loop — from concept to stock availability.
How we innovate
Four pillars of continuous innovation
Custom development
Fast customisation on request: adapted particle size fractions, surface treatments and effect tuning for your system. A Technical Sales Manager supports every stage of integration into your formulation.
Sustainable by design
Artificial mica made from renewable resources, microplastics-free pigments, upcycling-based decorative materials (DecoTech) and eco-friendly functional coatings (CoaTech) — innovation at ChemTech is green by default.
Continuous portfolio growth
Additional product groups, as well as new grades within existing ones, are under continuous development. The stock portfolio is refreshed with new editions every year.
