Whether it’s a resin for dust control in your process, or you need a natural binder, or a natural resin in your coating formulation, or Liquid Mulch for your ag application, or you need me to develop something unique for you, Advanced Micro Polymers is the right place for your sustainable and natural ingredients.

The products that I developed, that I am particularly proud of, and that you will find at Advanced Micro Polymers (for large industrial users) and at my sister company Advanced Bio Products (for domestic use) are Liquid Mulch for your garden, Liquid Mulch for your houseplants, and Nutritional Leaf Spray. Try them!

Her at Advanced Micro Polymers I have developed an amazing technology using plant starches & polysaccharides that allow stable high solids formulations. This is because the starch I developed have nano particle sizes.

All of my work centers on my vision of a world that uses the earth’s resources responsibly, that preserves the world and its inhabitants, and that respects our environment. But most of all, the emphasis is on products that work and that bring real benefits.

I founded Advanced Micro Polymers in 2007 with an idea about how to make a biodegradable plastic film for growers that solves a number of issues & problems. While working with tree nurseries, farmers, and the Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association, I found that traditional films, whether or not they are degradable, are a hassle to work with. Seven years later Liquid Mulch came to be and we have been improving it ever since.

It is now the flagship product here at Advanced Micro Products and at my e-store Advanced Bio Products.

I am a polysaccharide chemist with over 40 years of experience. I have successfully used my experience to create numerous commercial products.

In addition, over the years I have helped many companies solve both large and small challenges. Some names you might recognize such as Novon, a division of Warner Lambert, ADM-Ogilvie, and Cascade.

I have also helped smaller companies such as Fire Rein, CL Activewear, and True Glue.

No challenge is too big or too small. I enjoy a challenge. Try me!
