More than 70 years of Innovation, Customer Service & Success!

Apex Engineering Products Corporation formulates and manufactures safe and biodegradable specialty cleaning chemicals for a diverse range of applications around the world.

Our roots date back to 1941 when Edwin J. Ostermeier serviced boilers on ore boats that canvassed the Great Lakes between the United States and Canada. He sought out a more efficient and economical solution to cleaning out the boilers that traditionally required replacing expensive and cumbersome components. He also strived to maximize efficiency, reducing the amount of labor and time usually involved in cleaning boilers. A proficient chemical engineer, Mr. Ostermeier began formulating a chemical solution that would not only descale the boiler without having to disassemble the system, but also be safe to handle and dispose.

A year later, a revolutionary chemical solution was created and a small service company was born. The company was Apex Engineering Company and that chemical solution would be known as RYDLYME, the“World’s Leading Biodegradable Descaler.”

RYDLYME quickly expanded into a myriad of industries, including automotive, pulp/paper and general manufacturing. Apex Engineering Company also established itself in the field of histology (the study of the microscopic structure of tissues) with the introduction of the biodegradable bone decalcifier RDO Rapid Decalcifier.

Over the years, Apex Engineering Company continued to grow and evolve. By the mid-70s, the company evolved from a service-oriented company into a manufacturing company known today as Apex Engineering Products Corporation.

Four generations later, we have expanded our product line to include RYDLYME Marine and the RYDALL family of biodegradable degreasers, cleaners, odor eliminators and water optimizers. RYDLYME continues to be the “World’s Leading Biodegradable Descaler” with representatives and products in more than 50 countries around the world!
