Chemicals

Sagentia’s work for clients in the chemicals sector is focused predominantly on business creation - how to identify and build new sources of revenue for material producers. We also have experience in technology forecasting, valuation and strategy work.

Our technical capabilities and commercial experience extend across all chemical entities including:

  • basic chemicals – organic and inorganic compounds derived from petrochemical and natural sources
  • polymers – polyolefins, thermosets, thermoplastics, engineering resins, elastomers
  • speciality and fine chemicals – acrylics, fluoro-polymers, vinyl polymers
  • advanced materials – OLEDs, organic electronics, PEEK, bio-polymers, composites   
  • natural polymers – starches, cellulosics, natural polyesters

These chemical entities are found in a variety of end-use applications and in a diverse range of forms, from nano-powders to membranes and stock profiles. Sagentia has in-depth knowledge of the production processes of these basic materials, as well as conversion technologies serving product groups including coatings, films, fibres, adhesives and highly functional applications such as dielectrics, optical coatings, electrolytes and bio-active chemicals.

Examples of recent client projects undertaken by our chemicals team include:

  • development of a new product range in oil field chemicals for a water soluble polymers producer
  • development of a range of chemical products for the wood-composites sector, to create value through both an improved process and product performance
  • preparation of a strategic investment plan that enabled a client to enter a new market sector, that of electronically conducting organic materials
  • opportunity scouting, valuation and market entry for high performance chemical coatings for medical devices.
