No animal testing
Waldies does not carry out or commission tests on animals. Our research relies on laboratory analysis, published data and modern non-animal methods.
Our commitments
Four promises behind every new product
Nothing leaves untreated
Every effluent from our laboratories and plants is treated before discharge, and solid residues go to authorised recyclers. Nothing is released untreated to soil or water.
Funded by our own business
Our research is paid for from Waldies' own earnings. No outside sponsor decides what we study or what we publish to customers.
Partnered with India's best
We work with CSIR–CGCRI and CIPET, among India's leading national institutions, for testing, characterisation and joint research.
Focus areas
What we are working on
Our research follows our customers and the direction of regulation: away from lead where the market is moving, and towards cleaner, more efficient chemistry everywhere.
| Lead-free PVC stabilization | Calcium-zinc systems that match the processing window and long-term stability of lead, for pipes, cables and profiles. |
| Battery oxide performance | Oxide reactivity, particle size and free-lead control for better paste behaviour and longer battery life. |
| Rubber activation | Zinc oxide grades that deliver vulcanisation performance with less zinc. |
| Bio-based additives | Plasticizers and co-stabilizers from renewable feedstocks, starting with epoxidized soybean oil. |
| Cleaner processes | Lower energy use, less waste and safer handling in our own plants. |

How we work
From a customer's problem to a product on their line
- 01
Start from the problem
A customer line, a regulation or a performance gap sets the brief.
- 02
Formulate in the lab
Our chemists design and test candidates at bench scale.
- 03
Prove at pilot scale
Promising systems are made in pilot batches and characterised, with partner institutions where needed.
- 04
Trial and scale
We support trials on the customer's own line, then move to regular production.
