Hochem Enterprises was incorporated in 1973 to provide services to the refineries, chemical manufacturing plants and research institutions along the Texas Gulf Coast. The primary product was a liquid leak detector, SUPER-SLEUTH, which was uniquely formulated and packaged for detecting leaks in high pressure gas lines. The product is distributed primarily through distributors and has found application in the space program and throughout the United States and as far away as Australia.

In addition specialty copper compounds such as copper aspirinate and copper 3,5 di-isopropyl salicylate were synthesized in both research and pilot plant quanties. These products have found application in medical and dental research programs as well as in sunscreen formulations.
