• Phosphating systems: zinc phosphate process chemistry, activation, bath control, sludge management, coating weight targets
• Industrial lubricants (at least one area): wire drawing lubricants (powders/soaps/emulsions), rolling oils, textile lubricants/processing aids
Responsibilities
• Improve existing formulations for performance, stability, cost, and local raw-material availability
• Design lab trials and pilot runs; define specs and QC tests (titrations, pH, TA/FA where relevant, solids, stability, etc.)
