Obsolete & Hard-to-Find Materials - SP&S offers Free
Support to Find & Qualify Alternatives

One of the biggest challenges facing engineers and purchasing agents is the rapid
chang
es occurring in industry.  Long time suppliers are sold or re-organized and the
result is negative changes to established materials.  These changes can range from
obsoletion to dramatic price increases, increased lead-times, or unacceptable
minimum order quantities.
 

In response to this phenomenon, SP&S offers our customers purchasing programs
and technical support to identify or develop alternate sources for hard-to-find or
discontinued products.

As part of th
ese programs, we maintain a database of more than 40,000 adhesives,
coatings, sealants, encapsulants, tooling boards and other polymeric materials for
rapid identification of potential alternates.  In addition, we have established
contractual relationships with several major manufacturers that in some cases allow
us to license and produce their obsolete products based on the actual formulations,
raw materials, and manufacturing processes used by the original manufacturers.

Some example of Manufacturers for whom, we have licensed or identified or
developed replacement for their obsolete products include the following:
