Verichem is a developer of custom-blended antimicrobial agents that prevent microbiological activity in industrial processes and products, and the resulting adverse consequences.

Are your manufacturing processes plagued with microbiological contamination problems? Any water-based system is susceptible to microbial growth and degradation. The challenge is to control biodeterioration so that not only your product is saved but valuable production time and investments are not lost. The solution is specific chemical agents designed to kill or inhibit biodeterioration. These agents may include a wide range of products, however, with Verichem at the forefront of product development, the push is for combination biocides, which are quickly becoming the choice alternative to preserve aqueous industrial materials.

Verichem, a privately held company headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, specializes in the development and manufacturing of the industrial antimicrobial agents you need to protect your aqueous-based manufacturing systems. As the industry leader, Verichem is the only company that offers custom blending of industrial antimicrobial agents.

Why Choose Verichem?

Verichem Knows the Business

The proper selection of preservatives and knowledge of their interaction with other materials is crucial. The key to Verichem's method of formulating is our complete understanding of the formulation's function and its chemical or physical behavior in the presence of the other components in the product. Sometimes very minor amounts of the preservative can have major effects on the final product performance. The complexity of the antimicrobial and what happens at the interfaces of each is of major importance. You can trust that Verichem's chemists and chemical engineers possess the skills, experience, and professional backgrounds needed to address these complex matters - which is why we hold the position of industry leader.
