The center will conduct tests of the physicochemical properties of polyols as well as laboratory tests and application experiments of polyurethane foams.
MOL opens a new polyol research and development center named after György Mosonyi, the late CEO of MOL, in Százhalombatta, Hungary. The experimental reactor system was supplied and commissioned by Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions. Ninety percent of the other assets in the project were procured from Hungarian suppliers. In addition, MOL and Thyssenkrupp enter into a joint research and development agreement.
The research and development center will conduct tests of the physicochemical properties of polyols as well as laboratory tests and application experiments of polyurethane foams made from them. By July 2022, at least 10 polyol grades will be developed in the newly built facility, according to MOL. In order to compare and validate the results of the measurements, the company also plans to cooperate with the laboratories of several Hungarian universities and independent research institutions. These collaborations will help to further develop the methodologies used in the polyol R&D center and increase the knowledge base of universities, according to MOL.
