Our products
Self Repairing Polymer: ExpertRepair
Many consumer goods are made of polymeric materials whose appearance or performance can be altered by impact, scratches or cracks. Under the impulse of manufacturers and consumers, research has multiplied to extend the life of products.
polymère à mémoire de forme
Memory Shape Polymer: ExpertShape
ExpertShape is a shape memory polymer. These have many remarkable properties. The elastic deformation applied to the material can be extremely important. Thus, the possible shapes are very numerous and allow to answer a wide range of applications.
Acrylic polymers: ExpertBone
Acrylic cements appeared in the 1960s and are universally used to seal joint prostheses (hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, etc.). They allow the total replacement of deficient joints in very favorable conditions for the surgeon and the patient.
Expertgel
Thermogelling polymer: ExpertGel®
ExpertGel are thermogelling polymers, capable of reversibly changing their state according to temperature. At low concentration in water, they are liquid at room temperature and gel when the temperature increases
EstoGel
Oil Gelling Polymer: EstoGel®
PolymerExpert has developed EstoGel, biosourced oil gelling polymers to replace macromolecules of fossil origin. These biosourced polymers are derived from castor oil. These rheological agents allow to obtain transparent oil gels.
ExpertSun - Polymère photochrome
Photochromic polymer: ExpertSun
ExpertSun changes color reversibly in the absence and presence of UV light. Developed from new polymerizable naphthopyran derivatives, they provide a good compromise between color intensity and speed of coloring and fading.
implant intraoculaire
Hydrophilic coatings polymers: ExpertSurf
PolymerExpert has developed several families of hydrophilic coatings (PVP, PV, Polyethers,...) particularly for the medical sector.

Green chemistry: challenges and advances in the field of polymers
Research & development
Green chemistry was conceived in the 1990s. The objective for the chemists Anastas and Warner was to reduce the risks generated for the users during the chemical practices but also to reduce the harmful impact on the environment of the used products and their waste.
Orientation formulas in cosmetics
Cosmetics
PolymerExpert is a supplier of ingredients for the cosmetic industry. In order to offer a complete service to its customers, the company has equipped itself in 2016 with an application laboratory in which cosmetic formulation specialists develop orientation formulas on a daily basis. Adrien Faure formulation expert at PolymerExpert tells us the secrets of a good orientation formula.
Lubricious polymer coatings for medtech applications
Research & development
The medical device industry which produces a large number of products (from surgical gloves to artificial joints to imaging devices), driven by innovation and new technologies, has become one of the largest markets in the healthcare sector.[1] The explosion in the sophistication and application of devices makes it possible to help improve human health in ways unimaginable just a few years ago.
How can a material repair itself?
Research & development
The design of materials capable of repairing themselves, either spontaneously or under the effect of a stimulus, makes it possible to improve their lifespan and their reliability while reducing maintenance costs. This approach, which is eco-responsible, reduces the consumption of polymer materials and the production of waste. This technology can be applied in many fields to restore the original appearance and properties of materials. PolymerExpert designs custom-made healing materials to best suit your needs.
