Specialty Polymers are innovative, top-tier solutions and Solvay is the leader, offering the world’s broadest portfolio of these advanced materials. Our focus is on engineering innovation and we work with our customers at the forefront of their market.
The Polymer Characterization Lab (PCL) team in Shanghai Technology Center (STP) has a key role collaborating with R&I product development (engineered materials), ADL (application development lab), commercial functions, procurement and manufacturing for the characterization and testing of all the GBU materials.
With this wiki page, you will find information about our teams, competencies and capabilities to better address your requests. We Hope it will be helpful to you. For the comprehensive information for each technique, please refer to our handbook (access restricted to technique colleagues).
Mission |
|---|
Our Purpose is to,
- Support business & manufacturing through problem solving and unique capabilities
- Accelerate product development through advanced characterization capabilities and expertise
- Leveraging and sharing of best practices and unique analytical methods across various functional teams globally
Who We Are |
|---|
Shanghai PCL was part of China Engineered Materials previously, and just joined Global Core Labs team reporting to Silvia Petricci (Bollate Analytical and Materials Characterization department manager) since March 2023.
Besides international ASTM/ISO/GB references, proprietary methods are developed and applies for structural characterization and testing of the whole GBU product portfolio. Standard and complex analysis are provided with a multi-techniques approach aimed to support research development, investigate material compositions and understand the performance of materials in their final applications.
Lastly, the state-to-art techniques and methods are keeping explored and updated to make us stay competitive.
