TensTech Inc. is a research company that focuses on the development of new, innovative chemical and material-based technologies. Our vision is to carry out focused research and development projects based on clearly identified product goals. Projects include technologies that are based on internally identified objectives, that address grant-based objectives, or that are part of joint research and development efforts with partner chemical companies. We work in the expectation that our efforts will have a significant impact on targeted high value applications and specialty chemical markets.

TensTech, Inc. is a research and early-stage development company that focuses on the development of new and innovative chemical and material technologies.  Our core commitment is to the new materials synthesis, the identification of functional applications for new materials and technology transfer.

Recent research has identified a number of promising technologies and the following are in our current product development portfolio: 

  • A new, unique classes of ester-based lubricants that represent a potentially disruptive technology in several large volume lubricant markets.

  • Functional, low molecular weight polymers for a number of applications including hair conditioning and polymer surface modification.

  • A new class of additives for enhancing the performance of inorganic based dispersions such as concrete and plaster.

  • A new class of flame-retardant fabrics for military and related applications.

  • New, uniquely structured micro-cellulose forms having a range of potential new applications.

  • Advanced fabric technology based on unique approaches to fiber surface modification.

  • A newly identified bio-plasticizer.

  • New classes of esters that provide unique performance characteristics for cosmetic and skin care applications.

TensTech understands how to effectively utilize structured stage-gate research programs to efficiently move new technology forward. Dr. Theyson has over 30 years of experience in the formation and execution of productive research programs. Recently, under a partner company (CTW Development) he directed the successful development of an advanced technical fabric under US Army Phase I and Phase II SBIR grants. This technology is now in early-stage commercialization. TensTech continues to work with partner companies to identify new technologies that will expand their commercial product base within new and existing markets.  TensTech, Inc. welcomes the opportunity to discuss your technology needs and then work with you to jointly develop programs directed at identifying and commercializing new and innovative products.
