Charter
Polymer Solutions Inc., PSI, was founded in 1994 and set
out to fill a distinct market void - the manufacture and
supply of cost effective polymeric optical filters and
filter systems to manage and manipulate light. In order
to successfully fill this market void, PSI has remained
dedicated to the advancement of specialty absorptive
dyes and unique polymer processing techniques - the
building blocks of polymeric filters.
Strategy
PSI has extensive experience in the field of absorber
manufacture, polymer processing and filter design. PSI
has invested over the years in state-of-the-art
processing equipment and facilities. In addition to
these internal activities, PSI has grown by teaming with
strategic partners to work in mutually beneficial
situations.
Vendor alliances have been formed with extruders of
resin, cell cast processors, molding partners, and
component suppliers. PSI is continuously pursuing
relationships in the U.S. as well as internationally.
Such alliances allow PSI to offer a full range of
service without the burden of expending capital on
limited or single function equipment. Each vendor
alliance allows for the movement of material with shared
processing risk. Management of all processing is
coordinated and controlled by PSI at all times.
Corporate Capabilities
PSI prides itself on its ability to solve complex
optical filtration problems through the use of
absorptive dyes, advanced optical polymers, various
manufacturing techniques and sound engineering skill.
Our current capabilities include:
Engineering services:
- Engineering and/or processing services - relating
to optical manufacturing techniques, optical
coatings and optical product design.
- Product manufacturing management - from conception
and design to manufacture and delivery.
Laboratory resources:
- Facilities - for evaluation and filter
development.
- Computer-aided design capabilities - including
optical, chemical and mechanical engineering
designs.
- Color matching and filter design capabilities
- Spectrophotometric capabilities - from the UV to
NIR
- Prototype sheet/plate preparation - for polymer
filter evaluation and small scale production
quantities.
Manufacturing Vendor Resources:
- Cell cast acrylic sheet manufacturing - sizes to
48"x36" and thicknesses from 0.030" to 0.250".
- Absorptive dye Library - with a large dye library
containing specialty absorbers from 200 to 1700 nm,
which can be prepared in our facility.
Cost-effective infrared dyes from 700 to 1700 nm are
a specialty with a manufacturing capacity of
hundreds of pounds of dye annually.
- Manufacturing resources outside:
Like most small businesses, we frequently utilize the
services of a number of vendor partners including metal
fabrication/tooling, compounding, injection molding,
fabrication and assembly. PSI is dedicated to solving a
customers problem - even if it means becoming involved
in manufacturing or selling situations that we cannot
currently accommodate internally.
