TDA Research
TDA Research, a government contractor based in Wheat Ridge, CO near Denver, was formed by two staff from the Solar Energy Research Institute (now the National Renewable Energy Laboratory). TDA has grown to a staff of 80 with two facilities encompassing a total area of 50,000 square feet. It is a privately held Research and Development company which develops new low cost, advanced materials (polymers and carbons), including catalytic- and sorbent-based materials and processes and military and aerospace components. These materials in turn often form the basis for new and unique chemical processes, or protect users from chemical hazards. TDA brings their materials to market either by forming internal business units, or, in partnership with larger Global 2000 manufacturing companies.
