We add the “performance” to a vast variety of products that are part of our daily lives, from the car you drive to the chips in your computer. Chances are, not a day goes by that you do not use a product that contains or has been manufactured using a King additive. While our additive functions are technical by nature, in short these specialty chemicals impart desirable, value-added properties to the end uses they are apart of. Whether a King catalyst used to cure an automotive coating while saving energy or a King rust preventive extending a lubricant’s life, they indeed add the performance that a consumer expects from their product choices. Often used at levels as low as parts per million, King additives, are an integral component to formulations of some of the biggest names in the chemical, rubber and oil industries worldwide. While many have been loyal customers for decades, we are constantly challenged by them and others to develop new products that provide even higher standards of performance. It is this challenge of providing innovative high performance additives that drives our business

"Duralar Technologies is a global coating machines company that has created unique new families of advanced ultra-hard metal coatings. Many of these new coatings blend metal and diamond-based components to achieve exceptional toughness, strength and a range of performance qualities. These abrasion resistant coatings are comprised of multiple layers that can be configured in different ways to achieve a range of characteristics for different applications. Often compared with DLC coating, the unique new Duralar technology fills a void between technical thin film coatings, hard chrome plating and alternative markets, offering significant new advantages both in performance and price. Duralar’s special ArmorLube™ is an ultra-hard coating that also provides a clean and dry permanent lubrication — eliminating the need for oils or greases which can attract dust and dirt and cause fouling and jamming. ArmorLube is particularly valuable for the firearms industry, extending the life of parts and maximizing operating performance. Since Duralar is not a sprayed coating it does not have the problems of line-of-sight application. Instead, it is deposited very smoothly and conformally, even on three-dimensional features like screw threads and complex geometries. Another important Duralar advantage is that it can be applied much more rapidly than hard chrome and many other industrial coatings. And because it is non-toxic and inert, it is very friendly to the environment. Duralar deposition systems are available to volume manufacturers and are now enabling new capabilities and innovations in a wide spectrum of industries and applications. Review this website to learn more — and let us know how you’d like to put Duralar coatings to work for you."

Laurel Products was founded in 2001 by Michael Coates, PhD. After validating a unique processing method, a patent was issued that encompassed a means of pinning hydrophilic molecules on the surface of fluoropolymers. Essentially, it made the hydrophobic fluoropolymer hydrophilic, thereby aiding its dispersion into aqueous and other polar solvents. This concept eventually was commercialized to become the Laurel product grade known as Ultraflon UF-8TA. The success of UF-8TA reinforced the fact that there was a market need for more highly developed, customized additives. Clearly, off-the-shelf solutions were not solving the market demands for innovative additives. Additives were needed that pushed the performance envelope. Embracing this concept of innovative additives, Laurel Products was formed and has grown steadily ever since due to its competitive pricing, performance-driven product developments, and best-in-class service levels. Laurel Products are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A., in Elverson, Pennsylvania. We pride ourselves on environmental responsibility and community contributions. Our corporate value system is reflected in our products and service levels.
