Product researcher, Dynasol Group
Doctor in applied chemistry and polymeric materials by the University of the Basque Country.
Diverse working experience in both the private and academic sectors. Laboratory control and R&D technician in a small size company engaged in blown film extrusion of polyethylene. Postdoctoral researcher in several institutions working on a wide range of projects, from polymers’ VOCs reduction to emulsion polymerization for medical applications.
Since October 2021, researcher at Dynasol Elastomers in Santander (Spain) working on the development and improvement of new styrene-butadiene block copolymers for the adhesive and sealant sector.
Sustainable Hot-melt Adhesives Based on Styrenic Thermoplastic Elastomers
Sustainability is a global megatrend regardless of the manufacturer sector. Dynasol Group is acutely aware of the environmental impact of its activities and is committed to achieving long-term sustainability goals. These goals include reducing water consumption, using raw materials from sustainable sources (ISCC Plus certification), decreasing GHG intensity, and lowering electricity consumption, with a focus on renewable energy sources… Dynasol Group’s ambition is to be carbon neutral by 2050, and innovation is a key pillar in achieving this goal.
The development of new technologies and products is the main purpose of Dynasol’s R&D efforts. In line with this, we are developing low viscosity styrenic block copolymes for hot-melt adhesives market. Reducing the viscosity of hot-melt adhesives enables for lower application temperatures, which in turn reduces energy consumption and minimizes personal risk when handling the adhesive. Dyne 200 is a new linear styrenic triblock copolymer (SBS) with high styrene content and low solution viscosity. Its structure makes it suitable for a wide range of adhesive formulations and markets, including the hygienic market, woodworking, and reactive formulation.
