Custom Monomers and Polymers for the Medical Device and Life Science Markets

RCI possesses unique capabilities when it comes to the custom synthesis of specialized polymers or monomers for compliant life science markets.  Building on a long and successful history of custom development of novel polymers for some of the medical device industry’s most important and ground-breaking new technologies, we specialize in complex synthetic chemistries and purifications on both an excipient and drug-device combination basis.  Whether it necessitates starting from a research and development program to first identify the optimal compound, taking it through scale-up to establish manufacturing viability, or producing commercial supplies of compliant polymer or monomer- ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or GMP- RCI is the right partner for you!  Additionally, our vast experience and expertise within technology areas such as Hydrogels or Adhesives better prepares us to pinpoint your exact requirements, establish consistent manufacturing processes, and generate consistently excellent material for your specific life science application.

RCI encourage you to visit our website for numerous case study examples, whitepapers, and thought pieces regarding our custom polymer and monomer efforts.  Please reach out via our website inquiry form - or via our COO, Christopher Kulp, directly (clk@richmanchemical)- to discuss in detail your specific requirements.
