Develop and scale high-performance chemical solutions that challenge reliance on hazardous conventional substances, starting with industrial cleaning.
About blent
A new standard inindustrial chemistry.
We started blent because the chemistry that keeps industry working should be held to a higher standard.
Industrial performance matters. So do the people working with chemicals and the decisions made across their supply chains. We believe these priorities should move forwards together.
Our purpose
To make better chemistry
the standard, not the exception.
That's the reason we're here. Not to make small improvements sound revolutionary, but to question familiar chemistry, develop credible alternatives and help industrial businesses adopt solutions that are right for the job.
Where we're going.
An industrial future where exceptional performance and responsibility are no longer competing priorities.
A focused beginning.
A wider ambition.
Cleaning is essential across industry, making it a meaningful place to rethink the status quo. It offers an opportunity to address real technical requirements while exploring how formulation, sourcing and use can evolve. Our first focus is water-based industrial cleaning chemistry. The long-term ambition is broader: a platform for developing the next generation of industrial chemical solutions.
Built to a
higher standard.
Performance.
The product has to work.
Integrity.
We say what the evidence supports.
Ingenuity.
We look for thoughtful chemistry, not inherited assumptions.
Responsibility.
People, partners and supply choices matter.
Ambition.
We want progress at a scale that makes a real difference.
Build brilliantly.
Treat people well.
We want to build a company that's rigorous in its work and generous in how it works with people. A business where challenging questions are welcome, quality matters and success isn't measured by technical progress alone.
Founders
Emily & Chris.
Emily and Chris both read Chemistry at the University of Nottingham. Between them, they've spent their careers in education and scaling clean-tech businesses — including building one together. They know how this industry works, and they know it can work better.
blent is their biggest swing yet. Novel chemistry. Cutting-edge bio-derived materials. Scaled at speed to have the largest possible positive impact on the planet.
They're chemists, tree huggers, and enthusiastic drinkers of tea — with the humility to know how far there is to go, and the ambition to close that gap before the kettle's boiled.
Ambition, with
accountability.
We want to help replace significant volumes of problematic conventional chemistry over time. Achieving that will depend on strong products, demonstrable performance, thoughtful sourcing and the ability to scale. We'll describe our progress in the language it deserves: specific, contextual and evidenced.
