Vanchem has submitted a formal application to the National Research Council Canada (NRC) as part of the Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) to help fund research entitled New Green Detackification Primary Coagulant. Vanchem’s vice president, Ian McLeod, was asked about expectations. “We’ve already begun research in this area with promising results,” said McLeod. “The IRAP assistance will help offset costs associated with the highly technical nature of this research. With the funding we’ll be able to hire a full time research chemist for this project and we expect results by mid to late 2011, and customer production trials by early to mid-2012.”
