Industrial polymer development centre
At Norner we have our origins in the petrochemical industry and thereby long experience working with the key aspects of polymer product developments. This includes critical aspects like catalyst, polymerisation and additivation. We are used to develop new grades tailored to their applications and market trends. We have the competence, equipment and capability required to be your technology partner in material selection, testing and product development.
Our strategic advisory team helps clients to be successful in strategic choices, to create added value, to achieve a superior cost position and to set up innovation organization and tools.

Cases
Norner and HTExplore join forces to bridge the gap between catalyst High Throughput Screening (HTS) and application development of polymers.
Norner has developed a novel multimodal polymerisation technology which enable metallocene catalysts reaching high yields while producing LLDPE and HDPE with improved processing performance.
Sustainability is important for “Heart-working people” at Palsgaard. Together with Norner, they have developed additives for food packaging from 100% vegetable products.
Even after 6 years in operation it is fair to address Designed Chemistry as a new company.
Polyolefins (PE and PP) will have an accelerated degradation if exposed to UV light, as several other plastics.
Palsgaard – a world leading producer of food ingredients had been on the radar of Norner for some time.
We support clients to improve quality, durability and ageing performance of products.
Together with Piql, we have developed a system with a life time of >500 years.
Project cooperation leads to innovation in polyolefin stabilisation.
Environmental durability testing of materials by accelerated ageing.
