Workers First, established in 2016 and based in Pittsburgh, PA, develops advanced polymer materials for personal protective equipment and acid-proof linings. The company operates in the industrial safety and specialty chemicals markets, catering to sectors where workers are exposed to corrosive substances like acids. Its business model centers on the production and sale of products derived from its proprietary, patented polymer technology.
The core of the company's offering is Polyreact™, a PFAS-free "active plastic" engineered for high resistance to corrosive chemicals. This material is integrated into a range of products to enhance chemical resistance and durability. Key products include Neutralmat™, an acid-neutralizing floor mat designed as a preemptive safety measure, and Neutralcoat™, a protective coating. The company also provides acid spill neutralization kits. These products are designed to improve worker safety and productivity in hazardous industrial environments and have potential applications in military contexts, such as protecting soldiers from acid attacks.
Workers First is a privately held, venture capital-backed company. It has received funding through grants and accelerator programs, with investors including AlphaLab Gear, Innovation Works, and the U.S. National Science Foundation.
