Develop high-performance bio-based polymers tailored to industrial requirements

Industrial companies are looking to integrate bio-based polymers into their products in order to reduce their dependence on fossil resources and limit their environmental impact.

However, developing these materials requires ensuring their technical performance, stability, and regulatory compliance before they are placed on the market.

Bio-based polymers must in particular meet the same requirements as conventional materials in terms of:

mechanical strength
chemical stability
long-term durability
compatibility with industrial processes

Characterize and verify the bio-based origin of materials

The first step is to analyze the polymers in order to confirm their composition and bio-based origin.

Our teams carry out analysis to:

identifier les additifs et impuretés présents

This data helps secure the environmental claims made about the materials and provide an objective assessment of their actual composition.

Optimize bio-based polymer formulations

Le développement de polymères biosourcés nécessite souvent plusieurs phases d’optimisation afin de garantir leurs performances techniques.

FILAB accompagne les industriels dans :

These analysis help guide formulation choices and optimize the performance of the final material.

Scientifically validate the performance of bio-based polymers

Before being integrated into an industrial product, bio-based polymers must be validated to ensure their behavior under the intended use conditions.

FILAB carries out the necessary analysis to:

analyze their behavior under environmental stressors

assess their chemical stability and durability

verify the regulatory compliance of the materials

Our FAQ

Why is it necessary to characterize a bio-based polymer before industrialization?

The shift to sustainable materials involves major technical challenges. Characterization makes it possible to verify that the bio-based polymer has properties (mechanical strength, chemical stability) equivalent to those of fossil-based resources. At the FILAB laboratory, we analyze the chemical composition and identify impurities to ensure that the material is compatible with your industrial processes and performance requirements.

How can the bio-based origin of a material be verified?

Verifying origin relies on advanced physicochemical analysis. Our experts use state-of-the-art techniques to objectively determine the actual composition of materials and confirm the bio-based carbon content. This scientific validation is essential to secure your environmental claims and strengthen your CSR strategy.

What analysis are carried out to validate the durability of a new polymer?

To validate a polymer, FILAB assesses its behavior under environmental stress and its long-term stability. We compare the performance of bio-based formulations with conventional materials through durability and regulatory compliance tests, thereby ensuring a safe market launch.

How can I get a quote from FILAB?

To get a quote, you can contact our teams via our contact form, by phone, or by email.
All you need to do is send us your requirements (material type, desired analysis, any applicable standard, urgency, number of samples, etc.). We will then send you a personalized technical and pricing proposal within 24-48 hours.

How does FILAB support the optimization of polymer formulations?

Optimization consists of comparing different formulations to find the best balance between environmental impact and technical performance. We help manufacturers identify areas for improvement, assess compatibility with existing production lines, and reduce the carbon footprint from the design stage thanks to our Transition Offer.

What is the typical turnaround time for analysis?

Lead times vary depending on the nature of the analysis and the complexity of the expert assessment project.
However, FILAB is committed to providing fast turnaround times tailored to your constraints and industrial urgencies.
