Baddley Chemicals Inc. has been an innovator and key supplier to the sugar industry since 1998. After recognizing a new solution was needed to replace sugar reagents that contained toxic Lead Subacetate, Dr. Bill Baddley embarked on finding a suitable solution for safely clarifying sugar-bearing juices. After considerable research and testing Dr. Baddley came to a formulation that performed as well or better than the current toxic sugar reagents but no longer contained any lead. Thus, the introduction of Octapol®, a proprietary, lead-free, biodegradable non-toxic product. This new product was named OCTAPOL®, based on the proprietary formulation consisting of a mixture of eight chemicals (OCTA-) and also for its use in clarification prior to polarimeter (-POL) measurement of cane and beet juices.
For the past 24 years Baddley and Octapol® have served the sugar industry well by providing a high quality, safe, and effective reagent for clarifying cane and beet sugar juices. One of the most innovative and foundational improvements in sugar cane and beet juice measurement for total sugar concentration ever made.
When planning their retirement, Bill and Gwyn Baddley wanted to leave their business in the hands of a respected and capable company. After they met with Peter Marriot VP of Rudolph Research Analytical and other senior management, they felt confident that Rudolph was a perfect fit. An agreement was made for Rudolph to manufacture Octapol®, assume the responsibilities of distribution and ultimately purchase the company as of March 30th 2022.
After 24 years of working with sugar customers all over the world, Bill and Gwyn wish to thank you as they are most grateful for your support and loyalty!
