Constant change and innovation

are what drives Laiex

We can affirm that LAIEX offers 100% tailor-made solutions, which we translate into the field of innovation as … “customised polymers.”

LAIEX is an innovator in the field of polymers for textile applications, paints, coatings and construction. These developments are carried out in consultation with the client, creating a solid base to develop joint projects.
The passion for innovation serves as an inspiration and guide to build LAIEX‘s strategy, based on investing in the development of new products and technologies.

The main trends in which LAIEX is working in the field of innovation are:

  • Production plant automation.
  • Energy and resource efficiency.
  • Zero paper.
  • Efficient water management.
  • High performance raw materials.
  • Waste recovery to obtain products with greater added value.
  • Respond to the growing demand for market applications from sustainable raw materials.

Added Value

As chemical manufacturers, our emulsions have added value as they are free of ethoxylated alkylphenol surfactants with residual monomer reduction for odor minimization and negative effects on the environment.

We work together with our clients to meet their needs.

We develop studies to replace solvent-based emulsions with water-based emulsions, using:

• Emulsions with nanoparticles.

• High solid emulsions.

• Emulsions with adhesion.

• UV resistant emulsions.

• Emulsions with stability to calcium ions and cement alkalis.

• Reduction of volatile organic compounds.

Application of techniques with functional monomers, among other developments.

The consolidation and continued growth of LAIEX in the last decade is due in large part to the close collaboration with technological centers, where the tests carried out in our laboratories are verified, which also strengthens the relationships between our technical department and the technical department of our customers.

LAIEX R&D departments are located at the company’s headquarters in Spain. In our laboratories, which are over 1,100m2, the Applications equipment allows us to check the efficacy of our polymers within different coating formulations.

Transformation

Energy presents an especially relevant challenge for the Company, not only for the contributions in the field of conversion, storage and digitalization, but also for the design and development of more efficient materials. LAIEX works in the development of its production processes, thus increasing the efficacy of its facilities, which allows complex polymerizations that result in the improvement of the specifications of our products. At LAIEX production center, we find one of the most sophisticated facilities for the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); Thanks to our stripper and through a steam drag system, Laiex is able to reduce the amount of VOCs present in emulsions by more than 80%, thereby promoting sustainable chemistry and respect for the environment.

The Chamber of Commerce of Valencia, recognizes the Company’s effort in our long trajectory in innovation, awarding us the “Digital Transformation Award” in the 2019 Chamber Awards.
