What Broadview Technologies does

Broadview Technologies, Inc. is a privately-held specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Newark, New Jersey. The company originated as an affiliate of Anhydrides and Chemicals, Inc. (ACI) and contributed intumescent fireproof technology to NASA's Apollo Heat Shield program in partnership with Textron; it was formally established as a standalone company around 2000-2005. Broadview develops and manufactures four core product lines: INTUMAX® halogen-free intumescent fire retardants, specialty anhydride epoxy curing agents (described as the world's largest variety, including unsaturated, saturated, polyanhydrides, and dianhydrides), Resoflex resinous plasticizers co-developed with Cambridge Industries, and HIGHTEMP 221 single-component epoxy potting compound for military-grade electrical encapsulation. Its underlying technology rests on phosphorus-based, halogen-free chemistry, succinate/adipate polyester plasticizers, and proprietary anhydride formulations protected by patents and trademarks, supported by certifications including MIL-T-27 E Class U, DNV, ABS, UL94 V0, and KOSHER.

Broadview serves industrial B2B customers across aerospace and defense, electrical and electronics, coatings and adhesives, construction and transportation, and industrial manufacturing. Named end users include NASA (Artemis II Re-Entry Vehicle), Textron, the U.S. Military, and offshore oil rig operators. The company uses a sales-led go-to-market model with direct contact via phone, fax, and website quote requests, supplemented by content marketing through its website and LinkedIn presence. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. In 2012, Broadview expanded beyond its core fire-retardant and anhydride franchise with the acquisition of Hycrete, adding concrete waterproofing chemistry to its portfolio.

Broadview is founder/owner-operated, with Philip S. Rhodes as Co-Owner & President and Jason Tuerack as Co-Owner & Vice President. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds. Operating geographies are centered in the United States, with distribution reach described as global in scope but without a disclosed international office footprint.
