Researchers working in the Plastay R&D Centre laboratory

We turn laboratory data into production decisions.

Analytical, physical and thermal tests are used alongside process and pilot-production equipment. This allows us to assess not only how a formulation performs in the laboratory, but how it behaves when the scale changes.

Plastay R&D Centre, Gebze

Our research agenda begins with a current industrial need.

Our work improves product performance while creating practical options for safer raw materials, more efficient processes and lower environmental impact.

Bio-based plasticisers

Developing new raw materials and formulations that can provide alternatives to petro-based inputs.

Safer additive systems

Researching and validating safer stabiliser and plasticiser options.

Flame-retardant PVC compounds

Material systems designed to meet mechanical and safety requirements together.

Value recovery from waste

Recovering reusable chemicals with economic value from waste streams.

Green catalysts

Catalyst research for more efficient reaction routes and lower environmental impact.

We test an idea at three scales.

We analyse chemical structure, measure material performance and reproduce the result at pilot scale.

A good result is a repeatable result.

A project does not end with a laboratory note. Technical feasibility, production scale and performance are validated together.

Define the conditions

We clarify application, process, cost and regulatory targets within one technical framework.

Build the formulation

Alternative raw materials and formulations are compared using analytical data.

Measure performance

Critical properties are verified through physical, thermal and process testing.

Increase the scale

Pilot production confirms repeatability and prepares the transition to manufacturing conditions.

We expand knowledge between university and industry.

Academic expertise, plant experience and application needs meet around the same project table.
