General Sealants' On-Site Laboratory

The Laboratory at General Sealants is not situated in a far corner of the plant. "The Lab" is located at the front of the company, close to marketing and management, as the Laboratory is the heart of the business where formulations are created and tested. Longevity and environmental testing -- as well as standard performance tests for tack, cure, penetration, etc. -- are performed on a regular basis. Constant research is applied to materials and compounds to discover new and improved methods.

Quality Control

"Quality is General Sealants' number-one priority," emphasizes Mr. "Bud" Boyle, CEO. "We stand behind our products one-hundred percent!" "Bud" refers to it as being "quality conscious" -- a way of keeping a promise to customers.

Testing current products is performed in the Laboratory. Raw materials, processing, and finished products are rigorously tested against ultra-high standards which assures constant quality -- from batch to batch, year in, year out. General Sealants' quality control and systems approaches are second to none. From the moment unprocessed materials arrive at the facility until they are shipped as finished products, every aspect of production is subjected to constant quality checks. Lab technicians may immediately stop any production line to assure processing is done correctly.

A General Sealants employee's average length of experience with the company is 14 years -- not including any previous employment experiences. This type of expertise, added to more than thirty years of leadership in chemistry, production, and testing of sealants, has built a knowledge base unsurpassed in the industry.
