EXPANSION OF THE STRUCTURE OF RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT LABORATORIES

The physical structure of MK QUÍMICA’s Research and Development Laboratories was expanded. A new area of 100 square meters was added to the existing structure, now totaling 470 square meters.

New equipment was also acquired, such as the laser particle size and distribution meter, HORIBA Scientific LA-350. The use of this equipment will bring greater precision in the evaluation of products developed for various applications, especially in the paper and pulp product line.

All MK QUÍMICA products are developed by our own team of experts. There are currently three doctors and masters, four chemists and engineers and eight technicians who develop an average of 90 new products per year. In addition to new launches, the R&D team also continually improves existing products. Every year, there are an average of 300 projects developed in these laboratories.
