Industries We Support

While Chemron has strong expertise in surface treatment and plating chemistry, our analytical services support a wide range of industries, including:

  • Surface finishing and coatings – defect reduction, bath stability, specification compliance.
  • Manufacturing and metal processing – defect reduction, production performance.
  • Chemical formulation and blending – quality checking, performance consistency.
  • Electronics and precision components – trace contamination control, yield protection.
  • Aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment – compliance, repeatability, failure prevention.
  • Water treatment and process chemistry – cost reduction, contamination monitoring

We focus on accuracy, serviceability and data-driven decision-making, regardless of industry.
