Solvay Specialty Polymers is world leader in the production of high-performance materials.Researchers deliver innovative and sustainable solutions for many different markets: Automotive and Aerospace, Industrial and Environment, Consumer and Construction, Electrical and Electronics, Healthcare, Batteries.The Analytical and Materials Characterization (AMC) department of Bollate has a key role collaborating with R&I, Manufacturing, Regulatory and Commercial functions for the characterization and testing of all the GBU materials. Starting from a new molecule in the lab to the industrial plant, then to the final application: really a privileged point of view!Here you will find information about our teams, competencies and capabilities to better address your requests.

Mission

Our Purpose is to build a strong partnership with our customers assuring a competent  and timely support  and anticipating needs by providing innovative analytical approaches.

              

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.

 (lightbulb) monthly update


 

Mechanical Lab 

GO LIVE JUNE 25th
NEW LABWARE codes for tensile and flexural tests
  • BL-RD-MECH-TENSILE with 10 variations
  • BL-RD-MECH-FLEX with 2 variations
DATAlab platform for Mechanical (Tensile, Flexural) tests results 
The expected benefits are faster and more effective searches of historical data (optimized test design) and a shared repository of the mechanical data generated from the different Syensqo laboratories worldwide (currently Bollate and Alpharetta).



New colleagues:

  • Dennis Terrezza - stage ITS in Spectroscopy lab

AMC labs:

Morphology Lab:
