R&D at the Core of Our Industrial Commitment
At APROTEK, research and development is the foundation of everything we do. With 25 years of expertise in chemistry, our team has mastered superabsorbent polymers, a unique skill that positions us as a leading player in sludge management and industrial liquids. This expertise allows us to support our clients with high-performance, reliable solutions aligned with today’s environmental expectations.
Our ambition: turning industrial needs into useful, sustainable and performance-driven technologies.
Innovating to Anticipate Tomorrow’s Industrial Needs
Innovation lies at the heart of APROTEK’s DNA. It is expressed through our ability to imagine, formulate and test new materials in our laboratory, ensuring we meet rapidly evolving technical and regulatory requirements.
This technological advantage is supported by a strong industrialization strategy and a deep understanding of real-world applications.
Our innovation capability is driven by:
• 16 patents filed, demonstrating our technological edge and scientific creativity
• National recognition as a finalist in the 2023 INPI Awards – “Responsible Innovation”
• A strategy focused on low-carbon alternatives, circular economy, and the will to valorize and recycle
• A structured quality approach supported by rigorous, continuously optimized processes
Strengthened Scientific Expertise Through Robust Partnerships
In our laboratory, we develop advanced analytical methods and applied chemistry solutions designed to enhance industrial performance. The arrival of a PhD student from the University of Pau and the Adour Region enables us to deepen our understanding of the physicochemical mechanisms of sludge treated with our superabsorbent polymers and to explore new research paths.
Collaborations with scientific institutions such as the CNRS reinforce the rigor and industrial impact of our research. This synergy between academic research and field expertise fuels our ability to turn science into concrete solutions.
Controlled Processes Ensuring Quality and Performance
From sourcing raw materials to formulation and final product delivery, our processes are designed to ensure continuous optimization. This integrated approach guarantees a high level of quality, essential to supporting industrial operators in their operational challenges.
Our solutions, including the super-drying APROMUD®, effectively treat sludge and industrial liquids while reducing the environmental footprint of operations. They fully align with the ambition to decarbonize industrial activities and provide low-carbon alternatives tailored to current challenges.
Innovating for a Sustainable and Responsible Environment
At APROTEK, innovating means not only enhancing performance but also contributing to long-term industrial transformation. Our research and development efforts support valorization, recycling, and resource optimization, strengthening our commitment to the environment.
By developing solutions based on superabsorbent polymers, refining our processes, and focusing on controlled industrialization, we help companies transition toward more efficient, responsible, and sustainable models.
