Innovative material development
With the functional polymers we have developed, product properties can be specifically adjusted with minimal use of materials. Bonding catalyst complexes to polymers, for example, can extend the service life of catalysts or enable the realization of novel surface-active systems.
Highly volatile substances can be handled safely when chemically bound to polymers. In this way, polymer-bound substances can develop their effect in preparations without endangering humans or the environment. This technology makes it possible to achieve the objectives of REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) without the need for complex approval procedures.
Focus
Mecadi focuses on the development and production of polyvinyl alcohol derivatives and derivatives. Mecadi gives customers access to existing substance libraries. These contain derivatives with different functionality, degree of functionalization and molecular weight.
Mecadi manufactures the derivatives to customer order. Technical quantities can be produced by manufacturing partners. Mecadi also supports customers in application development, e.g. coating trials with the polymers.
In cooperation with the Karlsruhe Research Center, access to new polymer substances with unique properties has been opened up.
