The Product
Jacobs Industries' only product is an industrial chemical that can be mixed
with air to form a foam that is:
- Lightweight;
- Stable over a very wide range of temperatures;
- A very efficient thermal insulator;
- A very efficient acoustic insulator.
Jacobs sells to manufacturers of products that will pay a premium for foam insulators
with these properties. All of Jacobs' customers purchase the foam chemical as a
substitute for competitors' products. If Jacobs cannot meet the order when it is
received, the customer makes its purchase from a competitor without any loss of
future demand.
