The mission of the synthesis section is to offer all technically introduced polymerisation processes at pilot scale with a high degree of automation, with one exception (ultra-high pressure).
The existing staffing structure allows uninterrupted operation round-the-clock
for short to medium periods. This enables sample batches of several tonnes
(in single figures) to be produced.
The following seven lines of synthesis are preinstalled:
| Line | Example-polymere |
| Dilution-polymerisation (anionic, insertion) | Polyolefine, Rubber |
| Emulsion-polymerisation (continuous, batch) | PVAE, PVC |
| Suspension-polymerisation | PSt |
| Mass-polymerisation (continuous, batch) | PA, PET, PBT |
| Stirrer tank cascade | |
| High-viscosity technology (LIST; single und double axle) | In situ compounding, rubber, special (co)polymer |
| Gassing/Hydrogenation reactor (BIAZZI) | Polystyrol's following product |
