The company also offers a line of wholesale products and services to downhole production chemical companies. The company’s chemicals include acid inhibitors, scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, packer fluid inhibitors, paraffin dispersant compounds; H2S scavengers, biocides, water treating compounds, demulsifiers, emulsion breakers, nonemulsifiers, frac foamers, clay stabilizers, liquid KCL substitute, cross linkers, wetting agents/surfactants, friction reducers, anti-sludge agents, mutual solvents, silt suspenders, iron sequestrants, iron control, complete acid gel systems, xylene/acid emulsifiers, and HCl acid retarders. The company produces and markets these products under its Enduro-Tech name. The company’s wholesale products and services include custom chemical blending, toll blending, and private labeling.

While majority of its chemicals are sold to oilfield users, the company also sells and services water treatment and other industrial users.
Powdered Coatings
This segment offers a protective, anti-corrosion coating to metal products. The powdered coating is baked on in high-temperature ovens and produces a smooth 1- to 2-millimeter protective coating to all areas of metal parts without compromising threads or connective tolerances. Applied to ductile iron or carbon steel, the coating would enable these metals to perform like stainless steel in corrosive environments. The coating is also stable in high heat and protects against impact and abrasion. The company’s services include electrostatic coating, valve servicing, testing, disassembly and reassembly, and grit blasting. The company markets four product lines – Enduro-Bond, Enduro-Bond PLUS, Enduro-Bond DuraShield, and Enduro-Bond ULTRA-Shield – to end users in oil and gas, industrial, pharmaceutical manufacturing, pipeline transmission, waste water (municipalities), refineries, and automotive fields. The company has a two-truck fleet for pick up and deliveries.
