Our story

From breakthrough chemistry to global supply.

Alexium was founded to commercialize a new class of textile chemistry — formaldehyde-free flame retardants and durable thermal regulation finishes that customers had long been told were impossible.

Today, with the acquisition of Microtek Laboratories, Alexium is the most vertically integrated developer of microencapsulated phase change materials and high-performance specialty chemistries in the world.

What we believe

Four principles, one company.

Science first

Every claim is backed by measurement. We don't ship chemistry we can't characterize.

Partner-driven

We win when our customers' products win. That mindset shapes how we engage.

Quality always

From raw material to delivered drum, our QA discipline is non-negotiable.

Sustainable by design

Cleaner chemistries, lower-energy applications, and longer-lasting products.
