Research that moves chemistry forward.

Our research goes beyond improving what already exists. We develop new chemistries, technologies and processes, explore new fields of application and transform scientific expertise into solutions with real industrial potential.

Research Capabilities

Our approach brings together two complementary engines: Research & Development and Product Development. One explores what could be possible. The other makes what already exists perform better. Together, they connect long-term technological progress with the evolving needs of customers and markets.

Research & Development

Exploring what comes next.

Our Research & Development teams create new products and technologies, develop innovative chemical synthesis and process routes, investigate alternative applications and advance promising technologies towards industrial scale.

Our capabilities span:

Akdeniz Chemson

Chemical Synthesis

Developing new molecules, chemistries and synthesis routes with potential across polymer and industrial applications.

Akdeniz Chemson

Formulation & Application Development

Turning chemical knowledge into formulations designed around specific performance and application requirements.

Akdeniz Chemson

Polymer Compounding

Studying the interaction between additives, polymers and processing conditions to optimise performance.

Product Development

Making good chemistry even better.

Our Product Development teams continuously advance our existing portfolio in response to customer requirements, market developments and changing applications.

Innovation is not only about creating something new.

From performance optimisation and alternative raw materials to process efficiency and cost competitiveness, we work to make existing solutions more effective, relevant and competitive.

Research & Development looks further ahead. Product Development responds to what customers need today.

Laboratory Infrastructure

Where ideas become measurable.

Innovation needs imagination. But it also needs evidence.

At our certified R&D Center in Kemalpaşa, İzmir, ideas are synthesised, formulated, analysed, tested and prepared for scale-up within an integrated research environment.

In operation since November 2011 and among Türkiye’s first certified R&D centers, the facility brings together 50 R&D professionals across 1,290 m² of laboratory and development infrastructure.

Global Research

Beyond one laboratory.

Research at Akdeniz Chemson is connected across borders.

Findings from our R&D Center in Türkiye are combined with expertise from our laboratory in Austria and site laboratories across our global manufacturing network. This connected structure allows knowledge developed in one place to create value far beyond it.

Technology Focus Areas

We develop for what comes next.

Markets change. Regulations evolve. Materials are expected to do more with less. Our technology focus areas are shaped by these shifts and by our ambition to carry decades of expertise in additives into new polymer and industrial applications.

We focus our research where chemistry can create measurable improvements in performance, sustainability, safety, efficiency and application potential.

PVC Stabilisation

Building on our global expertise in PVC stabilisers, we develop technologies that respond to evolving performance requirements and international chemical regulations.

Our research includes high-performance calcium-zinc and organic-based stabilisation systems, alternative raw materials, process optimisation and solutions designed for recycled PVC applications.

The objective is clear: enable high performance while supporting the transition towards more sustainable stabilisation technologies.

Flame Retardant Technologies

Our work in flame retardants began with zinc borate and expanded into a broader technology platform. By developing both product chemistry and process technology in-house, we have extended our capabilities to zinc borate (ZNB), melamine cyanurate (MCA) and ACFR, supporting halogen-free systems and technologies designed to reduce or replace antimony trioxide. This is how one research direction can become a new field of possibility.

Product Development Process

Built to scale.

A promising idea is only the beginning. For a new chemistry to create real value, it must work outside the laboratory consistently, efficiently and at industrial scale. At Akdeniz Chemson, our development capabilities connect insight, laboratory research, pilot validation, industrial scale-up and market readiness within one continuous process.

From possibility to performance.

Insight → Laboratory → Pilot → Scale-Up → Market

Insight

It starts with the right question.

Customer challenges. Emerging applications. Market shifts. New regulations. Sustainability expectations. We bring these signals together to identify where chemistry can create new value.

Laboratory

Turning questions into chemistry.

This is where concepts begin to take physical form. Our teams work across synthesis, formulation and polymer compounding, using advanced analytical capabilities to understand materials, test hypotheses and evaluate performance.
