FAR Chemical, a CPS Company

CONNECTIONS - WHERE DO THEY LEAD? Back in February I travelled to SOCMA 25 in Nashville with Econic Technologies Ltd. At a Women in Chemicals breakfast I heard Alan Dyke of FAR Chemical, a CPS Company speak about his part a male ally. We connected and had a couple of conversations. Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting up with on his trip back home to the UK, and sat in a hotel garden in the sunshine (although it went in for the photo) chatting and drinking tea/coffee. We talked about the chemicals business, industry as a whole, leadership and mentoring, #diversity, #equality and #inclusion, the power of connection and networks, #collaboration and a host of other things. It was a great morning talking about tips and tricks, looking to see who we could connect, and how we might help each other, all because I got up for a 7am breakfast meet to find out about #DEI in the US chemicals industry (and I'm not a morning person). Humans are more human through connection. We are social creatures, and we work best together. For some people it can be daunting to reach out to strangers, for others easy. Some collect connections, others cultivate them and harvest so much more in time. Bigger "tribes" make us more civilised. United we stand, divided we fall. Reach out and say "hi - how can I help you?" today.

At the 2025 SOCMA Show, Women in Chemicals and SOCMA hosted an inspiring panel on career evolution, work-life balance, and the impact of allyship in the specialty chemicals industry. 💡✨ Huge thanks to our incredible panelists: • Michelle Pogosaew (Aether Industries Limited) • Waan Chulakham (Evonik) • Alan Dyke (FAR Chemical, a CPS Company) Moderated by our very own Co-Founder and Operations Director Kylie Wittl, who led an engaging discussion on navigating career transitions, fostering inclusivity, and finding fulfillment. Kylie summed it up perfectly:  “Our speakers brought incredible energy and insights—what a fantastic way to kick off the day!” We’re so grateful for the conversations sparked and the connections made.

Our goal is to make your most challenging chemical steps in a safe and economic manner, becoming part of your supply chain from a domestic location. Tell us you most challenging chemistry and we'll find a solution for you! #pyrophorics #metalation #grignards #pharmaceuticals #crosscoupling #finechemicals #customchemicals #specialtychemicals SOCMA sales@far-chemical.com

When you hit a project milestone as a team, you should always take time to celebrate. The small wins always add up to big progress in the long run! Yesterday some of the FAR Chemical, a CPS Company team spent time together at Intracoastal Brewing Company to mark a significant win within our project pipeline -- 2025 is looking bright already! #celebrate #smallwins #team #teambuilding #teamwork #challengingchemistry #hwpo

Over the past few years, FAR Chemical, a CPS Company has invested in specific assets to produce Cyanate Esters on commercial scale. Contact us to find out more about this capability! sales@far-chemical.com Cyanate esters are notable for their use in thermoset resins, which are materials that become irreversibly hard when cured. These resins are valued for their high glass-transition temperatures (up to 400°C), low dielectric constants, and excellent thermal stability. This makes them particularly useful in applications requiring high performance and reliability, such as in aerospace and electronics #cyanateesters #thermoset #resins #aerospace #electronics #specialtychemials #uschemicals #custommanufacturing
