Consistency is Core to Quality

VRC is a process-dependent company where quality and performance is not dependent on one person but on all of our employees that are trained to adhere to processes that assure safety and consistency in quality. Continuous Improvement is core to VRC culture, so we measure the integrity of our processes by documenting nonconformance activity and seeking root cause improvements.

VRC follows the recipe. All VRC blenders are positioned on load cells to measure every pound introduced to a blend. Every formula has a batch ticket of components that can be tied back to individual raw material components and their source/manufacture.

Every production batch is tested and will not be released until every quality measure is within our customers’ specifications. All shipments are accompanied with a signed Certificate of Analysis from our Quality Control Manager.
VRC maintains retain samples for every production batch for a minimum of two (2) years – together with records of the production batch tickets and all accountable signatures.
FTIR, HPLC, Titration, Density, Viscosity, Gardner Color, pH, and any additional testing our customers require
