"The Centre for Materials Discovery focuses on the use of high throughput methods for the discovery of materials with entirely new properties or step-change improvements in performance.

The Kibron Delta 8-is an invaluable module in a number of our workflows, particularly in programs directed towards the design of new functional surfactants."

How to establish combinations of new and multi-functional surfactant blends more efficiently?

The use of surfactants is growing fast in a diverse range of industries, all seeking for better performance of their products. Offering these formulators of surfactant based products “ready made” blends saves formulating chemists unnecessary steps in their R&D.

Formulators are also increasingly seeking for surfactants that can deliver a variety of functions. Today, surfactant manufacturers are thus facing new challenges and opportunities for entering the market with multifunctional surfactants. The development of such “ready-made” surfactant mixtures is demanding, as comprehensive surfactant characterization traditionally has not been feasible.

High throughput CMC screening

The Kibron CMCeeker opens a new era in industrial R&D as it allows to screen an immense number of surfactants and their combinations, by automatic and cost efficient high throughput experimenting. CMC measurements are performed 100 times faster compared to conventional methods, using a fraction of sample material.

With the CMCeeker you can optimize the contents of surfactants in your formulations and reduce the timeline of your products from research to final product roll-out, extremely cost effectively, read more..
