Waste management integrated with environmental management systems
Waste generated by companies and municipalities is subjected to a systemic control to comply with sustainability targets. Environmental management systems presuppose the establishment of criteria and procedures for the correct management of residues by means of plans and procedures that encompass waste generation, handling, treatment and value-adding to final destination.

Development of chemical processes for reuse of waste materials
Waste materials generated by industrial processes, mining and the extractive industry can cause serious environmental problems, which may sometimes prevent the granting of environmental permits and therefore the implementation of a productive unit. IPT develops chemical processes aimed at reducing the environmental impacts of such waste materials or revaluing them, Read more…

Industrial crystallization, precipitation and characterization of crystalline products
Industrial crystallization from solutions, castings or by precipitation is frequently employed as a separation and purification method, as well as in the synthesis of particulate products (powders) in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and hydrometallurgical industries, among others. IPT has been working together with industry in this field for over 20 Read more…

Synthesis and development of formulations of functional materials
A functional polymer is a macromolecular material that displays interactive functions with the application medium by means of external stimuli such as temperature, light, magnetism, electric current, ions, pH or enzymes. Typical applications of these materials include the manufacture of electronic components, sealants, adhesives, laminates, paints, corrosion inhibitors, light protectors, Read more…

Analysis and optimization of flow processes in particulate systems
Several areas of industry use particulate materials in the form of powders, suspensions or emulsions, be it as raw materials or as the final product. The use of these materials implies a variety of technological needs related to their storage, transport and processing in mixers, separators, chemical reactors, etc. Many Read more…

Development of formulations, evaluation and characterization of emulsions (complex fluids)
Complex fluids generally correspond to multiphase systems (suspensions, emulsions, gels and foams) whose main characteristic is their microheterogeneity, despite their apparent homogeneity on a macroscopic scale. Microheterogeneity, associated to a complex rheology, may result in incompatibility of certain components, which, over time, evolve into macroscopic alterations of the system (phase Read more…

Special tests on plastics, rubber and composites
In industrial plants, polymers and copolymers can be mixed to obtain polymer blends. When miscible, the properties of the blends derive from the properties of the individual polymers, although a synergistic action may occur. Depending on the application, several blends of different compositions can be prepared, resulting in polymers with Read more…

Development of plastic recycling processes
Plastic materials have become a constant presence in human life, mainly in disposable materials such as bottles, sacks, bags, cups and packaging. These materials must be discarded in an environmentally correctly way, since burning them releases carbon from the plastic into the atmosphere. Therefore, recycling combines a more environmentally suitable Read more…

Conformity evaluation of polymer materials and products
Companies in the various segments of plastics, rubber and composites require analyses and characterization tests for certification, to evaluate the conformity of their materials and products, or to compete in public tenders. IPT has laboratories, equipment and instruments calibrated to satisfy these requirements. IPT’s technical team comprises PhDs, Masters and Read more…
