New Additions to Esstech team

Esstech, Inc.
New Additions to the Esstech Team
From its simple origins in the early 1990's as a line of highly customized raw materials for compounders of "new generation" restorative dental composites to now a major manufacturer of customized UV/EB curable materials serving an ever-wider range of industries, Esstech, Inc. has indeed been a very successful "experiment".  It is my pleasure to announce two additions to the Esstech Team of talented professionals.

Last year, Bruce Farina, a 21-year veteran of Sartomer Company, joined Esstech as Senior Vice President and we are now pleased to announce that, effective as of January 1, 2012, Bruce has been given full operational responsibility for Esstech as President/COO.  Bruce's two decades of experience at Sartomer ranged from Manufacturing Manager through various titles and functions to Vice President with, most recently, overall global responsibility for all of Sartomer's photocure (UV/EB) business. 

Bruce is taking over for Howard Slaff who, after a very successful leadership tenure at Esstech, is moving ten miles south down I-95 to assume the President/COO responsibilities being vacated by the retiring Mike Norquist at Esstech's sister company, Esschem, Inc..

I am also very pleased to announce that Bruce has successfully recruited Dr. Mike Idacavage as Esstech's new Director of Business Development.  Mike Idacavage may be known to some of you as the immediate past-President of RadTech North America and is a lifetime member of RadTech's Board of Directors.  Mike's "day job" for the last 15 years was with Cytec Industries (and, pre-merger, UCB Chemicals), most recently as Cytec's Principal Research Fellow.

Those of us involved with Esstech over the years could not be more excited with the Team now in place and with their commitment to its next phase of customer-centric growth!

Announcing PHTHALATE-FREE polymers

New from Esschem!


Many in the dental industry are concerned about the use of phthalates. In Europe, phthalates have come under the scrutiny of REACH regulations. Around the world, use of these plasticizers will likely become greatly constrained, if not completely banned.

If you are looking for powder / liquid alternatives, Esschem has you covered. We’ve been hard at work developing new polymer systems which are both phthalate-free and deliver high levels of performance.  

  • H 234 is a good alternative to our established value product, H003.  Using a non-phthalate plasticizer, this resin provides desired working and handling properties.
  • H 235 is the preferred polymer for a powder / liquid system, and creates a superb repair and re-line resin. The product is also amine-free, making it our most clear and color stable polymer.
  • H 240 polymer is completely plasticizer-free!
Of course, these polymers are available with all of the customization options you have come to expect from Esschem.  We are happy to discuss your particular requirements and provide samples for your evaluations!
