New Product
Our Distributor Min-Chem Canada Inc. is a chemical distribution company operated from owned warehouse facilities in the Montreal and Toronto area. The distribution business was established in Canada over 50 years ago and is a respected member of the Canadian chemical community, the Canadian Association of Chemical Distributors速 (CACD) and is a committed participant in the Responsible Distribution program as it relates to distribution of chemical products. Chemical and mineral products are bought from over 25 suppliers, in the United States, Europe and Asia and resold in Canada and the United States. The business is divided between direct shipments from suppliers to customers and shipments from Min-Chem warehouses. Products are stored and then shipped LTL to customers. Min-Chem also buys some products in bulk and packages into drums and bags. From its beginnings in Montreal in 1943, the Company grew by establishing itself as a specialty chemical supplier, operating through trained technical sales representatives, and selling to market niches. The plastics, rubber, foundry, steel, food and pharmaceutical industries became the areas where the company would find its future growth. In the beginning, the Company grew by exporting minerals from North America back to Europe and bringing other chemicals from Europe that were not in abundance in North America. The Company was founded as Minerals and Chemicals Ltd in Montreal, Quebec by Justin Lang. When his son John, after graduation from university and an apprenticeship in Europe, joined Justin in the business in 1970, they decided to expand into Ontario. John started Min-Chem in Mississauga and later moved the business to Oakville. Min-Chem can be contacted at (905) 842-8300

RM Products building system is a panelized system using a series of molded fiberglass components in a variety of configurations to create a diverse range of building sizes and options. RM Building System is VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE: fiberglass, non-corrosive, chemically resistant, UV protected.2No Rust, Rot or Mildew MODULAR DESIGN: Variety of sizes, easy to expand as your needs grow, easy to relocate.

QUICK ASSEMBLY TIME: minimal parts, light weight construction, predrilled components. PORTABLE: light weight, high strength, easily transportable OPTIONS: designed and manufactured for your application partition walls rollup doors insulation variety of sizes.
Fiberglass panels are resistant to insects, rodents and pests. Unique fiberglass panels reflect heat maintaining a lower internal temperature in the building, reducing possible heat damage to product stored in the structure. Modular design allows the unit to be expanded as your needs grow. If required the entire building can easily be relocated to a new site. Long life span of the fiberglass construction means that the capital expense of the building can be amortized over a longer period of time. The building system is available in 6 model widths of 8’, 10’, 12’, 14', 16’, & 20’. Lengths start at 4’ and increase in 4’ increments. Standard panel height is 9’, custom panel heights are available up to 15’ high. The RM building system requires very little site preparation in most cases. The components are designed to strengthen one another as they are fastened together. Once the shell is complete the building bears its weight very evenly around its footprint. This makes the requirements of the base of floor of the structure very simple. Small buildings and medium size buildings often do not require any preparation just a level place to put the building. Larger buildings can be easily anchored onto concrete, wood or even asphalt surfaces.
