Polymers and nanocomposites

We strive to develop materials that offer

  • improved barrier, physical and mechanical properties
  • improved heat, corrosion and solvent resistance
  • weight reduction
  • enhanced recyclability
  • increased quality products with reduced production costs

We specialise in

  • polymers and nanocomposites
  • oilfield chemistry and cements
  • pharmaceuticals
  • packaging
  • paints and coatings
  • minerals and fillers

Our experts have in-depth knowledge of the availability of specific nanoclays and how to apply them in plastic and polymer matrices for your applications.
