Customized Product Development

Gurit has a dedicated team of technical specialists based at the UK facility providing R&D, formulation, development, and application capability for a wide range of thermoset products. With decades of experience across multiple sectors and product platforms, our chemists, engineers and material scientists have access to well-equipped chemical, analytical, fire, environmental, and DNV certified mechanical testing and quality control laboratories. With proximity to production facilities for production, trials, and industrial scale up, we are able to quickly develop new products and scale from lab to pilot to industrial scale. The combination of specialist know-how and state of the art facilities enables Gurit to provide a fast and flexible product development service for customers that require a bespoke formulation.
