● The first-class material application research and development center with facilities is designed to respond to the strong demand for customized solutions for high-performance materials in the Chinese market.
Solvay, the world’s leading supplier of special materials, officially opened the Shanghai Material Application R&D Center to further expand its global R&D and innovation capabilities. On May 12, Solvay Chief Technology Officer Nicolas
Cudre-Mauroux, Andrew Lau, Senior Executive Vice President of Solvay Materials
Francesco Triulzi, Director of Solvay Material Application R&D Center, attended the unveiling ceremony of the new Material Application R&D Center.
In domestic key industry markets such as automobiles, life sciences and electronics, customers’ demand for innovative application development is showing a trend of rapid growth. “Andrew Lau
express. “The new material application research and development center we invested in is just in line with this trend. After the center opens, we can respond to local market needs faster, make our services closer to customers, and create more tailor-made high-performance material solutions for customers.” program,” he added.
The newly opened Shanghai Material Application R&D Center has an excellent professional service team consisting of more than 30 skilled and experienced scientists, engineers and technicians. With this advantage, the center will apply leading related know-how to further promote the development of specific applications. All central resources will be provided by the “Innovation Lab”
Unified deployment, centered on customer projects, through world-class simulation technology, prototype manufacturing and application performance evaluation, etc., supplemented by digital manufacturing, injection molding, extrusion molding and noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) characteristics Solvay can accelerate the landing and realization of localized solutions by improving various special process equipment with multiple functions. “The newly completed material application research and development center will implement the “triple strategy”, that is, focus on innovation activities of “local autonomy”, global service local and local service global.” Nicolas
Cudre-Mauroux explained. “The supporting facilities to help achieve the three strategic goals include high-purity analysis of products and verification of high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of materials, high-clean semiconductor laboratories, separation membrane laboratories that can perform membrane development for hemodialysis and water filtration applications, and a coatings laboratory for functional and industrial coatings development.”
Solvay Shanghai Materials Application R&D Center will benefit local and overseas markets, and the main service end markets include automobiles, new energy, life solutions and pharmaceuticals, smart devices, and semiconductor industries.
