Markets served and applications of Silberline products will be touched on briefly in this presentation. Silberline also employs numerous B.S. and M.S chemists in their R&D, QA, and operations departments, which means lab time and possible customer facing from time to time.

The team is responsible for all short term application, technical support and product development for some of the biggest chemical companies in the world (PPG, BASF, 3M, RPM, DIC….etc). As technical service manager, Jason also interfaces with Silberline’s top automotive coatings companies (PPG, AXALTA, BASF, Akzo Nobel, SW, Nippon, KCC) around the world. This means travel to all regions of the globe (Americas, Europe, Asia) where the customers are located to meet with chemists and talk….you guessed it….chemistry!
