PROVIDING SOLUTIONS TO POLYMER MATERIALS CHALLENGES

Sulis Polymers B.V. is a spin-off company associated with the University of Twente, the Netherlands’ prime entrepreneurial technical university. The profile of Sulis Polymers B.V. encompasses the development of new polymer formulations with focus on sustainability and enhanced properties, additives and functionalized nanoparticles for added value, polymer structure modifications and melt reaction engineering, barrier polymers, and polymer analysis and characterization.

Sulis’ staff has access to state of the art synthesis and characterization facilities either located at the University of Twente, or in Sulis’ own polymer laboratories. Based on over 30 years of experience of the funding Chair, we can assist clients in their problem solving needs in most areas of polymer science and technology.

Our expertise

New: Smart biocomposting tests!

Biocomposting test - room temperature biodegradation of plastics
Biocomposting of plastics under industrial conditions - ultimate aerobic biodegradation of plastics packaging materials.

SULIS Polymers B.V. is offering biocomposting tests of polymers according to the ASTM D5338 and ISO 14855 standards. Instruments for room- and high temperature biocomposting tests are offered for sale. Systems specifications and number of bioreactors are determined according to customers requests. Our smart systems allow remote control and data monitoring.
