• Project Size : 50,000 - 250,000 €

We are looking for a technology to seal paper packaging materials (paper only with no plastic coating) without using traditional glues or any other additive. For a sustainable packaging application, we're looking for a technology to seal or crimp kraft paper without using glue or plastic coating applied on the paper. Ideally, we want to seal 100% untreated paper without adding any other chemicals. Our preferred solution would be a folding of the packaging material

• Patents for licensing

A powerful electric motor whose piston surrounds a coil. The motor has a mobile and fixed piston, connected to a power source, which induces a magnetic field generating attractive and repulsive movements, pushing the piston along a longitudinal axis with sufficient force for applications in industrial machinery as loading and unloading, large boats or heavy vehicles.

Advanced organic compounds with enhanced thermal energy storage capacity

• Patents for licensing

Production of ionic liquids, bisimidazolium salts obtained from glycerol and carboxylic acids, which show a high thermal energy storage (TES) capacity. Multi-application technology based on new phase change materials (PCM) with higher thermal properties than those used nowadays. These compounds are bisimidazolium salts, which may be obtained from affordable natural sources - fats and oils, usually by-products at the agro-food industry - through a patented procedure.
