Seacole can cost-effectively blend and package an existing custom formula, modify a formula to fit a new requirement, or formulate an entirely new product for you to serve a new application.
Liquid Blending & Chemical Production
Seacole’s liquid custom blending takes place in our indoor tank farm equipped with 20 blending tanks ranging from 150 to 3,000 gallons. Jacketed tanks are available when cooling or heating is necessary. Our high-powered blenders can handle a variety of acids and bases covering a wide range of viscosities. The Seacole team continuously monitors production to insure consistent quality between batches.
Powder Mixing
Seacole can accommodate powder custom blending projects between 450 pounds and 5,500 pounds. We operate multiple styles of blenders to complete all dry blending projects, including ones that add liquid materials to the blend. Our capabilities include blending water-soluble inorganic powders, acid and alkaline beads, and water-soluble organic blends of ethoxylate, sulfonated surfactants, and glycol ethers.
Laboratory Services & Equipment
To ensure a high-quality product, Seacole maintains an ISO 9001-certified quality assurance/quality control laboratory. Our lab equipment includes an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, gas chromatograph, autotitrator, viscometer, flash point tester, turbidimeter, comparator, and moisture analyzer. We retain samples of all products we blend so we can quickly run additional batches with no loss of quality.
Warehousing & Production
Seacole operates a total of 85,000 square feet of warehouse and production space to accommodate your medium or large-production contract manufacturing project. This includes an H3-rated flammable room and an H4 general warehouse. Our facility is a secure and safe place to produce and store your products.
Liquid & Powder Packaging
Our packaging department includes three-bottle filling lines with various capabilities, including heat sealing, labeling, lot coding, and a heat tunnel. Our team can shrink-wrap label your product if requested. We can package your custom formulation in the following sizes: quarts, gallons, pails, drums, totes, supersacks, and tankers.
Private Labeling
Whether we’re blending one of our formulations for you or using your proprietary formula, we can private label your product with your unique brand. This keeps your intellectual property confidential and private while taking advantage of our production and shipping capabilities. Your finished product can be shipped to your warehouse or blind shipped from our warehouse to your end user.

Custom Blending FAQs
Contract manufacturing, also known as contract blending, custom blending, and chemical toll blending, is a specialty service. Companies with complex chemical formulations hire a contract manufacturer to handle every part of the manufacturing process, from mixing and blending to packaging and delivery.
Contract manufacturing is often a safer and more cost-effective method of blending chemicals than investing in the resources, equipment, and human capital to produce specialty chemicals in-house. Seacole starts by consulting with companies to review formulas and needs, and will design manufacturing plans to meet specific requirements and budgets.
Contract manufacturers are designed for flexibility and efficiency. Seacole offers extensive customization as well as reduced production and labor costs. Often, custom blending providers work with suppliers to reduce the cost of raw materials, passing the savings onto the customer.
Seacole works with customers to develop a professional relationship that benefits both companies. Some customers provide the raw materials and packaging, while Seacole performs the blending according to the customer’s specifications. Other customers rely on Seacole’s expertise and capabilities to provide turn-key service, including laboratory testing, blending, packaging, and blind-ship delivery to their end users.
By nature, contract manufacturing involves proprietary information and trade secrets. Your privacy is important Seacole. Seacole requires a mutual non-disclosure confidentiality agreement to be signed by both parties. Seacole requires that such an agreement be in place before any specific information regarding a contract manufacturing project is discussed.
Quality control is an integral part of any custom blending project. Quality control ensures that every production batch meets designated specifications. This includes the customer’s standards, current and future regulatory compliance rules, and Seacole’s own high standards for quality. Every lot is quality-control tested, and retains are kept for up to five years.
Seacole provides industrial contract manufacturing and custom blending to companies that require specialty chemicals but do not have the facilities or resources to mix them in-house. Seacole specializes in providing expertise and turn-key experiences for mid- to large-sized production runs. The Seacole laboratory contains all the specialty equipment needed to optimize custom formulations and perform quality control testing. After blending is complete, Seacole can provide warehousing, custom labeling and packaging, and blind-ship delivery of custom-blended chemicals. Seacole is ISO 9001:2015 certified and an active member of the Association of Chemical Distributors.
