Many of the chemicals you rely on to solve your industrial challenges are powerful workhorses that significantly extend the life of products made from metals. The metal pretreatment technologies used by the water purification, aerospace, automotive, electronics and other industries have a wide range of common industrial applications. Some may enhance corrosion, wear or electrical resistance, while others enhance anode ability to bond to rubber or improve solderability, depending on their application.

Many of these chemicals require special handling, storage and disposal. Gilbert & Jones’ highly skilled staff understands that the evolving chemical industry demands up-to-the-minute compliance knowledge and best practices training.

Gilbert & Jones ensures full compliance in several ways. We back our commitment to ongoing training with our own in-house training program. We also routinely qualify new chemical orders by determining how the product will be used to ensure appropriate use, processing and disposal. We provide backup testing of various processes in our full-service lab. And we partner with third party vendors to provide full support to troubleshoot post-sale issues.

Gilbert & Jones has been at the forefront of environmentally safe business practices, favoring water-based cleaners as alternatives to ozone-damaging solvents long before regulation mandates. We routinely recycle the 55-gallon drums used for all our chemical deliveries, keeping these containers out of the waste stream.

Gilbert & Jones is an ISO-certified company and a member of the Alliance for Chemical Distributors, (ACD) We share ACD’s commitment to third-party verified monitoring to ensure performance improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transport and disposal.
