Our application development laboratory for cleaning and personal care products allows us to develop tailor-made solutions in benefit of our customers.

Coatings, solvents and blends

We distribute high performance solvents and blends for small and large businesses.

Moreover, we market coatings, pigments, additives, resins and specialty chemicals for various industries, such as oil exploration and drilling, construction, paints, lacquers, adhesives, automotive, electronics and resins, among others.

• At our blend development laboratory we produce solvents and blends which are designed to meet the high performing unique specifications required by our customers.
• We operate a recycling solvent plant. This capacity allows us to offer our customers the closed loop manufacturing service. We collect dirty solvents, clean and return them for a later reuse, thus eliminating the need for disposal and containment of solvent used by the client, thereby reducing their ecological footprint.

Specialty Blens and Solvents

The closed loop manufacturing chain concept is based on keeping minimal waste generation and a high efficiency level in order to increase productivity and competitiveness.

The “closed loop” process implies a new approach in the manufacturing of goods and services. In Grupo Pochteca we have adopted this practice by carrying out the recovery of dirty solvent generated by industries, which is processed for cleaning and reuse, making rational use of materials and resources, and saving costs. That way we deliver a product that meets the specifications demanded by the strictest processes in the automotive industry.

With the implementation of this practice in Pochteca, we guarantee the suitability of the solvent to be reinserted in the production process, thus contributing to the sustainability of various segments such as automotive, paints, pharmaceutical, printing, metalworking and paint industries.
