Research & Development specials
01
20+ years of experience
proionic has accumulated the know-how and experience regarding Ionic Liquids, its applications and the development of Ionic Liquid-based processes. Having involvement in many different industries proionic is fast in understanding customers’ needs and chemistries.
02
quick screening of candidates
The CBILS® process allows screening of many different Ionic Liquids in a short period of time. This helps to check the previously generated theoretical concepts on lab-scale. Besides new structures that can be synthesized hundreds of Ionic Liquids of different classes are available on stock for proof-of-concept studies.
03
database of key parameters
proionic owns a large database of important physico-chemical parameters of Ionic Liquids and all relevant equipment to determine the most important parameters for new candidates.
04
engineering know-how and scale-up experience
Due to the engineering background of proionic and the robust production process new Ionic Liquid candidates can easily scaled up from gram to ton scale. Different equipment sizes covering this range are available.
Key benefits of Ionic Liquids for your process
01
longer lifetime
Due to their high stability Ionic Liquids have a longer lifetime than other operating fluids.
02
safer processes
Processes based on Ionic Liquids are typically safer and cleaner as they do not contaminate the gas-phase and are non-flammable.
03
sustainability
In many processes Ionic Liquids can be recycled and reused, preventing waste and pollution.
04
performance booster
Ionic Liquids potentially boost the performance of standard products, even when applied in small concentrations.
05
structural variety
Many different functional groups can be incorporated into the cation or the anion which allows flexible design of Ionic Liquids specifically adjusted to the demands of the application.
06
continued innovation
Since Ionic Liquids are a relatively new material class with exceptional characteristics, there is still room for further innovation, new findings and related new IP/IPR.
Main applications
01
Electrolytes
for batteries, supercaps, sensors & advanced materials, pure or part of a mixture
02
Solvents
for natural and syntetic polymers, safe, environmetally friendly and recyclable
03
Operating fluids
like lubricants, hydraulic fluids, coolants, etc
04
Antistatic agents
for polar matrices
