Company: Crowley Chemical
Location: Akron, OH
Description:
This is a rather interesting position that calls for the candidate to be familiar with polyurethane adhesive and binder formulations. The vast majority of our Viplex, Vycel aromatic oil extender sales into this polyurethane market involve pMDI and TDI based resin systems. We need a hands-on polyurethane chemist who can take current and future development programs from concept all the way to commercialization. This will involve the occasional customer presentation. It will involve working with New York and our two plants; Kent and Oklahoma City. Our R and D programs tend to be very customer focused. With that said however there is one interesting research program under way at the Kent, OH facility to find a “green” extender that could be used to replace petroleum in the future that is not customer focused. The Crowley Chemical Company is a moderately sized company where everyone’s opinion is important. There is a strong sense of team at Crowley Chemical and a good thing too given the competitive environment we all find ourselves in.
Crowley Chemical Company was started by Mr. Daniel Crowley in 1920.

Our employees have expertise in petroleum refining chemistry, oil blending, logistics and applications technical service. Crowley Chemical feels that product quality and customer service are as important as the product’s price in determining the value of our company and its products to our customers.
The Viplex / Vycel aromatic oils represent one of our major product lines. These products are used by compounders to extend epoxy resins, aromatic based rubbers, polyurethanes, PVC plastisols and unsaturated polyester resins. Compounders and formulators of polymeric materials generally use these products to: 1 lower resin formulation costs, 2change resin viscosity profiles to improve processing and application properties, 3impart hydrophobicity to a resin system to improve weatherability by reducing moisture or water take up and 4 these products tend to “wet” mineral fillers extremely well, allowing for higher filler loadings at any given formulation viscosity.
