VLCI stands for: applying the creative ability to transfer knowledge into innovative, but practical R&D services. Because of its practical approach, VLCI provides you with solutions or products of commercial use. VLCI, experience how creativity and innovation boost your chemistry.
The team of VLCI is specialized in formulating coatings and synthesis of (in)organic products, like polymers. Combining these two industries, using our network and our broad knowledge of formulations, raw materials and applications, makes it possible at VLCI to speed up your innovation process. To further boost R&D projects, a High Throughput (HT) system can be used for the R&D services. This HT system automatically prepares formulations (dispersing) and performs synthesis (e.g. polymerizations), in parallel and on small scale (80 ml). Working with this HT system, R&D projects will consume less time and less raw materials. This, in turn, results in a reduction in costs, while the knowledge is increased by the high output. VLCI services VLCI provides you with boosting R&D services: High Throughput to prepare formulations (e.g. coatings) and to perform synthesis (e.g. polymers) New technologies and applications Translating requirements into technologies, raw materials and products Development projects Set up and performing screenings tests Set up and guidance of proof of concept Literature and patent study Consultancy Tests and analysis are outsourced to a wide specialized network of experts

LCI, founded in November 2008, provides R&D services for the formulation industry, specialized in coatings and polymers. A growing company, cooperating with an international network of industries and universities. Customers for R&D projects are

divers and vary from small to multinational companies. The founder of VLCI, Sander van Loon, had 7 years of work experience in developing innovative solutions for coatings (WO2006/079516 and WO2008/003695), before starting VLCI.
