Syensqo Specialty Polymers stands at the forefront of high-performance materials, pioneering innovative and sustainable solutions across a wide range of markets including Automotive and Aerospace, Industrial and Environmental, Consumer and Construction, Electrical and Electronics, Healthcare, and Batteries.

The Analytical and Materials Characterization (AMC) department in Bollate plays a pivotal role, collaborating closely with R&I, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Commercial teams to characterize and test all GBU materials.
From the discovery of a new molecule in the laboratory, through its journey to industrial-scale production, and ultimately to its final application, we are uniquely positioned to drive scientific exploration and innovation.
Here, you will find information about our teams, expertise and capabilities designed to support your needs and fuel the spirit of discovery.


“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover  them."

Mission

Our Purpose is to build a strong partnership with our customers by ensuring competent and timely support. We proactively anticipate their needs by providing innovative analytical approaches.

              

Who We Are

AMC Labs are part of the Specialty Polymers Analytical Service and fully integrated in the Syensqo Analytical Network

Besides international ASTM/ISO references, proprietary methods are  developed and applies for structural characterization and testing of the whole GBU product portfolio (Fluoropolymers, Aromatics, Composites).

Standard and complex analysis are provided with a multi-techniques approach aimed to investigate material compositions, support research development and understand the performance  of materials in their final applications.

AMC labs, Materials Characterization: new organization (5 May 2025)     

  • The Physical testing Lab and the Rheology Lab are now merged in a new " Rheology and Physical Testing Lab" led by Claudia Zani.

  • The Physical testing Labs and offices in Building 109 have undergone a major rewamp and reorganization to provide a better working enviroment and more efficient service for our requesters.
  • A new climatic chamber is available in the Chemical Resistance Lab in order to enlarge the capability of the conditioning of the samples in controlled conditions of temperature and humidity.

  • The Morphology Lab and the Solutions & Colloids Lab are merged in a new "Microscopy, Solution & Colloids" area, led by Roberta Cotogno.

  • Giorgio Canil joined the Front Desk CTD.
  • Paola Pierucci joined the new "Rheology and Physical Testing Lab".

(1 August 2025) 

Domenico Cassano will be the technical contact for Microscopy Lab, also maintaining responsibility for the Colloids area (LLS, Z-Pot, Tensiometer and Turbiscan).
