R&D is the foundation of our products.
At Biyopol Kimya we turn the problems we encounter in the field into R&D projects. The know-how built up in our TÜBİTAK-supported projects is reflected today in the products and technical support we offer our customers.
Our approach to R&D
Our projects
Projects completed under the TÜBİTAK 1507 SME R&D Start-up Support Programme and our ongoing industrialisation work. Summaries are simplified and contain no product or process details.
Synthesis of Scale-Inhibiting Polymers for Geothermal Power Plants
As geothermal fluid rises to the surface, falling pressure and temperature reduce the solubility of dissolved minerals; scale forms in pipelines, turbines and heat exchangers, and blockages stop production and raise costs. The project synthesised scale-inhibiting polymers that withstand high water hardness, high alkalinity and pressure, offer strong dispersing performance and do not cause corrosion.
- Project output
- The product was commercialised and became the basis of the scale-control solutions we supply to geothermal fields. The project was carried out in-house.
Production of Water-Soluble/Dispersible Polyester Resin from Waste PET Bottles
Recycling rates for plastic waste are low worldwide and around 30% in Türkiye. The project set out to use waste PET as a raw material in the production of an industrial polyester resin used by the textile industry: less waste to landfill, conservation of natural resources, lower waste-management costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Project output
- A competitive polyester resin for the textile industry containing a substantial share of waste PET was developed; R&D and pilot production were completed. The project was carried out in-house.
Industrial-Scale Production of Waste-PET-Based Polyester Resin
Launched to take the resin whose R&D and pilot production were completed in the 1507 project to industrial production.
- Project output
- Local, industrial-scale production of a raw material that the textile industry has so far imported.
