Scientific Services we offer
Scientific Services by Syensqo provides you with the opportunity to design and scale-up new specialty products, materials solutions and process technologies to meet your needs.
With more than 20 years’ experience providing services for startups, SMEs and companies, you can count on us for:
- Prototypes, tests and process books.
- Ideation, including consultancy and advanced search.
- Scouting and discovery of chemical routes (gram lab scale).
- Scale-up of chemical routes and sampling (100kg ATEX pilot scale).
- Support up to industrialization and startup level (tons scale).
- Access to industrial assets and support for plants.
Scientific Services to support a range of R&D applications
With complementary expertise across our sites, we are able to provide services that support your business in R&D efforts relating to:
- Organic or mineral chemicals and pharmaceuticals (including fluoro): Virtual engineering to develop safe-and-sustainable-by-design (macro)molecules, high-throughput scouting for (bio)catalysts, raw materials and solvents, scale-up and pilot prototype production.
- Polymer synthesis and formulation: Investigate potential solutions, carry out full applicability testing on barrels, and fast-track scale-up and industrialization for commercialization.
- Composite materials: Create and test matrices for functional polymers or fibers at small scale and carry out applicability tests on barrels, plates and coupons.
- Fermentation and biotechnology: Take advantage of state-of-the-art GLP accredited testing conditions and investigate biodegradable-by-design solutions.
- Biosourced natural products: Investigate extractions from vegetables, scout fermentation or enzymatic processes and work to develop the most sustainable option for your application.
- Effluent treatments: Reduce emissions in processes, use chemistry design for valorizing or removing impurities or coproducts, and find ways to optimize your water recycling and wastewater processes.
- Recycling: Validate the use of a recycled monomer in an upcycled market application.
