SPINPET provides sustainable polymer materials R&D services integrating scientific expertise, advanced experimentation and industrial process knowledge.
We support companies, research centers and industrial value chains in the development of innovative polymer materials, functional additives, processing technologies and high-performance solutions, operating from preliminary analysis through to industrial validation.
Sustainable Polymer Materials R&D
Circular by performance.
Tailor-made Research & Development for materials, processes and products.
1. Feasibility study
This activity defines the working hypotheses, experimental methods and development strategy, assessing the technical, scientific and industrial feasibility of the project.
COMPANY KNOW-HOW
Based on experience gained across multiple application sectors — packaging, automotive, energy, design, recycling and upcycling, leather, food and medical — we assess the technical and scientific feasibility of the request by analyzing:
- material or waste stream composition;
- scientific analogues and international state of the art;
- functional, regulatory and sustainability requirements;
- industrial and processing constraints;
- development potential and patentability opportunities.
TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
We investigate the state of the art through scientific literature review, patent databases, technology benchmarking and existing solutions.
We identify compatible chemical principles, processes and materials, defining the most robust development hypotheses.
This phase establishes a clear and structured framework of the project’s evolutionary potential.
Invention / Innovation
At this stage, we develop the material or technological solution and produce the necessary prototypes to verify processability, mechanical, thermal and rheological properties, as well as stability.
EXPERIMENTAL ACTIVITIES
We carry out targeted experimental work based on reactive and transformation processes, including:
- polymer synthesis, chemical modification and reactions;
- compounding and advanced blending;
- compatibilization of complex blends;
- design and selection of functional additives;
- preliminary evaluation of thermo-mechanical and rheological properties.
Processing is carried out in reactors or through reactive extrusion, a key technique for functional modification in the molten state.
PROTOTYPE PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION
We produce initial prototypes using co-rotating twin-screw extrusion, injection molding or dedicated processes tailored to the specific material.
In compliance with international standards, we evaluate processability and performance through thermo-mechanical, physico-chemical and rheological analyses, verifying alignment with project objectives.
Product optimization
This phase verifies material behavior under realistic application scenarios, anticipating potential production criticalities. This sustainable polymer materials R&D approach ensures performance, scalability and industrial reliability.
EXPERIMENTAL ACTIVITIES
The goal is to obtain a stable, reproducible material ready for pilot-scale or industrial production, by consolidating formulations and operating parameters:
- optimization of additives, fillers and compatibilizers;
- definition and validation of the processing window;
- thermo-mechanical and chemical stability;
- comparative testing according to ISO/ASTM international standards;
- performance validation on real prototypes.
Protection of research results
SPINPET supports intellectual property protection, acting either as a direct inventor or as a scientific partner in the drafting of company-owned patents funded by industrial clients.
PATENTING
We provide technical and scientific support for:
- definition of the patent strategy;
- collection and drafting of technical data;
- prior art analysis;
- structuring of technical claims;
- preparation of documentation required for filing.
TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
We assist in the identification and protection of trademarks associated with the newly developed material, technology or product, ensuring competitive positioning and comprehensive commercial protection of the outcome.
