Mission

The Analytical & Materials Characterization (AMC) department of  Bollate has a key role in the Core Labs organization in contributing to the GBU Solvay Materials business growth by supporting R&I, RAPS, Manufacturing and Commercial functions.



Who We Are

AMC Labs are fully integrated in the Solvay 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.
