About Workers First

Workers First is an early-stage startup that is leveraging recent advancements in polymer science to develop advanced materials that neutralize acids on contact for use in personal protective equipment (PPE) and acid-proof coatings. As our name suggests, our company was formed to realize the vision of protecting people while they do the important work of serving as first responders, mining ore, advancing science, and serving in the military. These individuals build our economies and defend our communities, and they deserve effective PPE while on the job. In addition to this, hundreds of millions of dollars in costs of equipment are attributed to acid erosion each year. It is important to protect this equipment especially in situations where harsh chemicals are used and could harm workers. Our current research and development efforts are focused on eliminating the dangers of acids through neutralization. Workers First has engineered a true solution: a patented designer polymer that neutralizes acids on contact, turning them into benign solutions that eliminate the hazards associated with contact. Neutralcoat® can be incorporated into a myriad of products including coatings, machine-washable fabrics, wipes, etc. Coating manufacturers who sell to the chemical protective garments and gloves market – or who manufacture corrosion-resistant coatings and linings for acid splash/spill environments – can easily incorporate the Neutralcoat® powder into their formulations.
