Our History

Based in Durham, California for over 48 years, we manufacture sanitation chemicals and water treatment products specifically formulated for food industry applications. But we’ve never been just a chemical company. From the beginning, we’ve taken a complete-system approach: we design and build the feed equipment that delivers our products, we install it in your facility, and we maintain it over the long term. When something isn’t working, you’re not waiting on three different vendors to point fingers—you’re calling us.

A brief Description of Our Capabilities

Custom Chemical Manufacturing — Our formulations are designed for real-world food processing conditions. Whether you need CIP cleaners, alkaline detergents, sanitizers, or specialized water treatment chemistry, we develop products matched to your specific equipment, soils, and water conditions.

Equipment Design and Fabrication — We engineer chemical feed systems for sanitation and water treatment applications, built to integrate with your existing infrastructure and deliver accurate, consistent dosing.

Installation and Service — We don’t hand off drawings and walk away. Our team installs the systems we build and provides ongoing maintenance and support.

Sanitation Program Development — Effective sanitation isn’t just about chemistry—it’s about procedures, training, and documentation. We help operations build programs that hold up to regulatory scrutiny and actually get followed on the floor.

Regulatory Compliance Support — Food safety regulations keep evolving. We help customers stay current with documentation, sanitation requirements, and audit preparation.

Why Customers Stay With Us

At Spray Chem, you work with people who know your operation—because they’ve been with us long enough to learn it. We treat our employees like family, and it shows in how long they stay. Your rep this year will be your rep next year, building real knowledge of your plant, your challenges, and what works for you.

That continuity matters. When you call with a question, you’re not starting from zero with someone new. You’re talking to people who remember your history, understand your facility, and know how to solve problems quickly because they’ve already done the homework.

We’ve built this company on technical knowledge, responsive service, and relationships that last. Forty-eight years in, we’re still here because that approach works.

Give us a chance to earn your business.

Chemical distribution and innovation for industrial and food processing sanitation applications

This is an example of our capabilities

This custom built system foam cleans and sanitizes this high speed filler with minimal operator intervention 

Large Central Sanitation Room

This installation supplies cleaners and sanitizers to over 150 sanitation drops throughout a 50,000 sq. ft. processing facility.

Products are fed from 300 gal. IBC’s to dedicated mix stations that dilute cleaners and sanitizers to proper use ratios and feed the individual drops with air operated processing pumps .

This system ties into the facilities PLC to provide historical information for food safety auditors.
