From laboratory to plant
A formulation built around your process.
We do not start from a price list to be forced into your production cycle. We start from the result you need on the substrate.
Laboratory trial
Small-scale synthesis and a sample to be validated on your own line before any order.
Production scale
Plants with different production capacities, from a trial batch to continuous supply.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most
Mainly the finishing of natural and synthetic leather, the footwear and clothing industry, fabric lamination, wood protection, industrial coatings and the automotive sector.
No. The choice of base — polyester, polyether or polycarbonate — depends on the stresses expected: repeated flexing on footwear, abrasion on flooring, hydrolysis resistance in car interiors.
Yes. Aqua Polymers polyurethanes are also used as lamination adhesives, alongside base coats, top coats and intermediates.
The laboratory assesses each case individually. Where the sector is not among those listed, the route is the development of a formulation to specification.
