About the projects

Polymer laboratory of the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry has extensive experience in polyurethane material development and characterization, and in the synthesis of polyols derived from various sustainable feedstocks (1st, 2nd, 3rd generations and waste streams).
Commercialization projects aim to boost Latvia's technology transfer process and ensure that the outcomes of scientific research in many sectors are implemented in a practical and commercially applicable way.
The overarching aim of the both commercialization projects is to commercialize the technology of the synthesis of sustainable polyols.

Polymer laboratory of the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry is implementing two commercialization projects:

ACTOPOL
Commercialization of the technology of the synthesis of autocatalytic tall oil fatty acid polyols
ROPET
Commercialization of the synthesis of rapeseed oil and recycled polyethylene terephthalate polyols

Funding

Projects are co-financed by the European Research Development Fund 1.2.1. specific support goal “To Increase the Private Sector Investments R&D”; measure 1.2.1.2. “Support for Improvement of Technology Transfer System”.
