Formulated Polymers

Arumbakkam is a busy area, and being at 29 SVP Nagar means we are right in the thick of it. We work with polymers, which means the place often has a specific smell to it. It’s not bad, just something you get used to after a week. The lab area is where most of the activity happens. We have various containers and scales all over the place. It’s not the neatest office you’ve ever seen, but we know where everything is. The windows look out onto the street, so we watch the bikes go by while we wait for things to settle. We have a small team here. Everyone does a bit of everything. One minute you might be checking a mixture, and the next you are helping carry a bag of resin. We don't have a HR department or anything like that. We just talk to each other if there is a problem. The floor is stained in a few places from spills, but that’s part of the job. We keep a calendar on the wall that’s usually a month behind. It’s a practical place for practical work. When it rains, the sound on the roof is so loud we have to shout a bit. We just keep our heads down and get the batches finished. It’s what we do every day.
