About
Inhance/Fluoro-Seal, Ltd.
Inhance/Fluoro-Seal, Ltd. is the leader in the
field of performance additives based on surface modified polymer
particles and fibers, which
are sold under the INHANCE® trade name. Use of
our products in the manufacture of various end-products results
in formation
of novel polymer-polymer composites, with properties that can
be custom tailored for specific applications. The INHANCE® Fluoro-Seal
business was formed in 2000 with the hiring of Dr. Bernard Bauman,
the primary inventor and developer of this class of materials.
Prior to this, Dr. Bauman was Chairman and President of Composite
Particles, Inc., in Allentown PA, a company that he founded.
Composite Particles developed and manufactured a number of surface
modified rubber and plastic particle products, and sold these
world-wide under the trade name VISTAMER®. The
fundamental technology of reactive gas surface modification,
which is the
approach used
to make our products, was developed in the 1980's at Air Products
and Chemicals, Inc., under the direction of Dr. Bauman. This
new (at that time) class of performance additives was sold by
Air Products under the trade name PRIMAX®.
