Innovation in the service of tomorrow’s surfaces

With more than 100 formulations developed and mastered in-house, our R&D evolves products and treatment sequences according to materials, contamination and new industrial constraints.

The goal is to pursue overall process performance: improve efficiency while working to reduce, where possible, water consumption, rinsing, downtime, resources used and effluents generated.

Improve chemistry to improve the entire process.

Concentration, temperature, contact time, circulation, sequences, rinsing or automation are all parameters that R&D can act on.

Technochim therefore develops processes intended to be more efficient, reproducible and suitable for industrial implementation, while seeking to reduce their resource consumption and environmental impact.

Product + Process + Application = Overall performance

WINGS — aerospace as a field for innovation

Technochim is taking part in the research project WINGS — Walloon Innovations for Green Skies, dedicated to developing technologies that contribute to more sustainable aviation.

Alongside Safran Aero Boosters and other industrial and scientific partners, Technochim is working on additively manufactured aluminium-silicon alloy components, notably for new generations of heat exchangers.

Technochim’s contribution focuses on developing an automated multiphase chemical treatment, designed to precisely control the surface condition of these complex parts and their functional properties — notably roughness, corrosion resistance and cleanliness.

Additive manufacturing → New surface → New chemistry → New process

Technochim is currently participating in a research project dedicated to drinking water treatment and controlling its various contaminants, with the aim of exploring new approaches to current and emerging water-quality issues.

This approach extends Technochim’s expertise in chemistry, contamination and interactions between surfaces, materials and their environment to new fields of application.

The project’s partners and detailed scientific focus areas will be presented once the programme can be disclosed.

Technochim develops its projects with its clients, universities, research centres and technology partners, combining industrial challenges with scientific knowledge.

Our R&D laboratory, our 3D microscopes, our characterisation capabilities and our mastery of treatments then enable us to test, measure, compare and optimise the solutions developed.
