Our expertise in polymers

Our polymer specialisms include the use of polysaccharides such as pectins and carrageenans in food technology. We also have extensive experience of silicones and organopolysiloxanes for use as sealants or adhesives, as well as in the medical technology sector. We additionally have knowledge of sol-gel chemistry, specifically the hydrolysis and partial condensation of precursors, and the condensation of sol particles into a three-dimensional (3D) networks, for use as coatings involving optically active layers, anti-corrosion layers and as medical coatings.

Our expertise also extends to thermoplastics such as polycarbonate (PC), polyetherimides (PEI) and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) as well as thermoset polymers and elastomers. We also advise on additives for polymers such as flame retardants and other inorganic materials.
