Polymer Engineering Consulting Service: Science with Purpose

At Industrial Chemistry, we’re not just another consulting company. We are a dedicated Polymer Engineering Consulting Service built on decades of practical experience, technical excellence, and a deep passion for chemistry. With a combined 40 years in the field, Dr Deon de Wet-Roos and Dr Wolfgang Meyer offer clients unique access to a rare mix of industrial, academic, and business expertise.

Our mission is to bring clarity and solutions to the world of polymers—from formulation and synthesis to testing and scale-up. Whether you’re developing new packaging, improving product performance, or facing issues in production, we can help.

Why Work with Industrial Chemistry?

Polymer problems are complex. So are we.

Applied Science That Works

Our strength lies not only in our academic credentials but in our practical, action-oriented consulting. At Industrial Chemistry, we bridge the gap between polymer theory and industrial results. Every problem we tackle is approached with a combination of technical precision and industry awareness.

Multidisciplinary Technical Expertise

Our Polymer Engineering Consulting Service brings together extensive hands-on experience in:

  • Polymer science consulting for thermoplastics and thermosets
  • FTIR and DSC analysis for polymer characterisation
  • Rheological testing and degradation analysis
  • Material performance evaluation tied to real-world applications

Solutions That Fit Your Industry

We don’t offer generic advice. We offer tailored support based on your environment, whether it’s:

  • Automotive polymers
  • 3D printing filament development
  • Medical packaging
  • Electrical components

Sustainability and Compliance Focus

Navigating regulations and environmental standards is part of what we do. Our services help ensure your materials meet:

  • REACH and RoHS compliance
  • FDA regulatory standards
  • Corporate sustainability targets

We are a problem-solving team, not just theorists. Learn more about our full range of services.

Polymer Engineering for Real-World Impact

Polymers affect nearly every aspect of modern manufacturing. From food-grade plastics to aerospace-grade composites, having access to qualified advice can be the difference between failure and success. That’s where our Polymer Engineering Consulting Service comes in.

Our capabilities include:

  • Additive selection and compatibility testing
  • Crosslinking and curing analysis
  • Injection moulding consultancy
  • Custom polymer design for structural or performance properties
  • Lab-to-production scale-up support

With backgrounds in chemical engineering and management, we also help with the business side of things,including technical due diligence and intellectual property support.

Polymer Science Consulting Backed by Testing and Data

We don’t guess. We test. Our laboratory testing and analytical services offer clarity and certainty for your materials. With tools like TGA, DMA, and FTIR, we deliver reliable polymer analytics and structure-property relationships analysis. We also investigate material compatibility and failure causes, advise on sustainable material selection, and conduct lifecycle assessments for plastics. This combination of lab precision and field insight allows our clients to make confident decisions, reduce development risks, and shorten the path to market.

Trusted Polymer Chemistry Consulting for Industry and Innovation

We work across a variety of sectors, offering polymer chemistry consulting that applies to real industrial challenges. Our work includes:

  • Medical-grade polymers for safe and sterile use
  • Electrical encapsulation materials for high performance
  • Biopolymers and biodegradable plastics to support sustainability goals
  • Coatings and adhesives formulation for harsh environments
  • Automotive and aerospace polymer applications

Every project begins with a discussion. We ask the right questions to uncover issues early, from performance gaps to regulatory risks. Our approach is grounded in science, but we speak in a language that your product teams, engineers, or executives can understand.

Polymer Chemistry Consultant

More Than Just Technical Expertise

With doctorates in chemistry and MBAs in business, both Wolfgang and Deon bring a multidisciplinary view to every problem. It’s not just about how a polymer behaves, it’s also about what it costs, how it’s sourced, and what it takes to bring it to market.

As part of our chemical consulting firm services, we provide:

  • R&D project planning
  • Troubleshooting production failures
  • Contract research services
  • Scale-up and commercialisation support
  • Educational outreach for schools and corporates

We enjoy passing on knowledge, whether it’s in the lab or the boardroom. Our consulting is collaborative and long-term.

We Make Polymer Engineering Personal

Chemistry is personal to us. We don’t believe in offering one-size-fits-all answers. Every business, every challenge, every molecule deserves specific thought.

We’ve helped clients:

  • Revive stalled R&D projects with practical, lab-backed solutions
  • Replace banned substances with compliant alternatives
  • Reformulate products for better performance and lower cost
  • Build internal polymer knowledge to support in-house teams

Whether it’s a single-day consultation or a multi-year collaboration, we focus on outcomes. We meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Specialist Services That Support Every Stage

From synthesis to scale-up, we support you at every point in your product or process lifecycle.

Our consulting spans:

  • Polymer formulation development for commercial use
  • Thermoplastic and thermoset product development
  • Rheological and mechanical property testing
  • Injection moulding performance issues
