Technical Support

Where ideas become shelf-ready products
‍
At Chem-Pak, R&D isn’t an afterthought - it’s central to how we support our customers. For three generations, we’ve specialized in formulation support, technical problem-solving, and commercialization across industries including industrial maintenance, DIY, sporting goods, and gun care. Whether you’re launching something new or refining an existing product, our team brings the technical rigor and real-world production insight needed to get it right.

A Hands-On, Collaborative Approach

We don’t just “run a lab.” We act as an extension of your team - guiding products from concept through commercialization with production in mind from day one.

Regulatory Support

Chem-Pak helps ensure your product is not only effective - but fully compliant.

Our regulatory team supports customers across a wide range of industries, with deep expertise in California regulations, CARB compliance, and VOC-restricted products. Whether you’re an established brand with in-house compliance resources or navigating regulatory requirements for the first time, we provide the right level of support.

Our in-house laboratory works side-by-side with customers to:

Develop formulations aligned with performance, regulatory, and market needs

Troubleshoot unstable, underperforming, or difficult-to-run products

Steward existing formulas with exceptional care and batch-to-batch consistency

Our Regulatory Services Include:

SDS development and maintenance

Label and claim review

Federal, state, and retailer compliance support

VOC and CARB evaluations with formulation guidance

We can guide, review, or fully manage the regulatory process - depending on your internal capabilities and project needs.

You bring the brand. We’ll help ensure it’s compliant.

Customer specifications, testers, and quality records are stored digitally and monitored throughout every production run to ensure conformance from start to finish. The last thing we ever want is for your product to reach the market with a quality issue.
