Northlake Research Complex
Cincinnati, Ohio

This new 260,000 SF research facility includes five stories of laboratories, environmental chambers, and sophisticated communications systems. The laboratories are equipped with such advanced instrumentation as electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, chromatographs, differential scanning calorimeters, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, and sophisticated rheometers. 36 different gases and chemicals are distributed throughout the building from a central tank farm through a complex and highly regulated piping network.

The Applied Research Laboratory contains one of the industry’s largest arrays of polymer processing equipment to evaluate the processing performance of polymers and to produce samples for testing and customer evaluation.
