Materials & chemical processing
We help build faster, more efficient materials & chemical processing capability for customers facing complex scientific challenges.
Analytical sciences for chemicals
Our markets
At your service
From petrochemicals and paints to soaps and detergents, we bring value to customers across a broad range of chemical applications. Our analytical science solutions help define - and design - both materials and the industrial processes that create them.
Challenges we solve
We bring you a comprehensive solution for the challenges involved in large chemical plants: DSM began its life as a chemical company and today DSM Materials Science Center sits at the heart of an industrial and scientific hub with around 70 plants. This enables us to tackle challenges in base chemicals, specialty chemicals and consumer chemicals that include:
- Successful process design
Creating insight into the reaction kinetics by combining our knowledge in chemical processing. - Proven process reliability
Characterizing the particle structure of catalysts with novel molecular imaging technologies and processing of large data sets. - Stringent product specifications
For all types of chemicals by giving a comprehensive overview of all macro- and small molecular species, their structural identify and quantity. - Support for production safety
By using our extensive experience in exposure measurement across a large variety of industries.
Chemical science competences
What’s in the toolbox?
We use a broad range of techniques and technologies to solve customers’ challenges based on our base competences like process analytics, data processing and statistics and quantification - which in turn creates our unique capability in fields like materials & chemical processing.
