Soap Bubble Consulting
Being a water chemist by education and vocation (Technical Service Engineer with 30 years experience in the industrial water treatment market: Boiler water, cooling water, wastewater and potable water) it was a natural progression for me to enter the wacky world of bubbles. After all bubble are comprised of mostly water! See the blog: beeboo® – How it all started.
Surfactants, soaps and detergents absolutely fascinate me, because of course; they are primarily made up of water, or used in water. Water, one simple molecule of hydrogen connected to two molecules of oxygen, covering 70% of the earth with only 2.5% of that being fresh water, and comprising 78% of a human body in the form of a baby and 60% of our adult body, may in fact be what makes the world go around. My 30 years experience as an industrial water treatment engineer, plainly stated; making clean water from dirty water.
My soap bubble consulting started years ago, when I received a call from a soap bubble artist, entertainer and consultant looking for a specific bubble mix, or blend of products, to be used in a Las Vegas show. I don’t feel comfortable mentioning names of individuals, corporations, production studios, ad agencies, competitor bubble manufacturers, toy companies or the like, as all the work I do for them is confidential in nature. Oftentimes a Non Disclosure Agreement is not required. Our word and handshake is as good as any legal document. Suffice it to say, we gained a new customer from that inquiry, developed a new friendship and established our reputation as being one of high quality products, terrific customer service and above all, the integrity of our corporation.
Since that time we have worked with a variety of customers, with a variety of soap bubble needs, and met or exceeded their expectations with our products and services. Here is just a short list of soap bubble consulting projects and applications we have been a part of:
- Las Vegas production.
- National television commercials for the automotive industry and many others.
- Super Bowl television commercial. Produced but never aired.
- Multiple major toy companies looking for better bubble solutions, both ready to use small bubble solutions as well as new and better big bubble concentrates.
- We have even helped competitors improve the Quality Assurance program of their manufacturing facilities in Asia. Yes, we helped our competitors, it’s just good Karma.
- Bubble artists and bubble entertainers from around the world. Each had specific requests for technical information; everything from setting a Guinness World Record to engineering specific bubble formulae for their unique applications.
- Developing better soap bubble formulations for industrial applications, such as leak detection and many others.
- Developing laboratory procedures and test methods to evaluate effectiveness of surfactants, additives and blends of surfactants and additives, in a quantitative rather than subjective manner.
Part of being a technical consultant is realizing when you don’t know the answer. One of my best friends had a great saying about this: “When you know, you don’t know. And when you know you don’t know that’s when you know.” If I don’t know the answer to your request, I have an army of friends and associates, in a variety of disciplines, to help in meeting and exceeding your expectations.
