IFS is involved in many fields !
The scope of applications for supercritical fluids is expanding very fast.
The advances made by researchers, the analyses and tests carried out within IFS at the request of laboratories and industry, and the experience acquired through our industrial partnerships, regularly bring to light new applications for supercritical fluids.
A wide range of applications
The proportion of research & development studies
carried out by IFS has been calculated on the basis of sales. It reflects the diversity of sectors in which supercritical fluids are used.
At the top of the list are recycling and environmental activities, which account for almost a third of operations. These initiatives reflect our ongoing dedication to recycling waste and promoting a circular economy.
The food industry is also emerging as a key field. Supercritical fluids can be used to extract natural compounds to enrich food products and meet consumers' growing expectations in terms of naturalness and functionality.
This desire to integrate natural extracts also extends to the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors. They share a common requirement: to develop high value-added ingredients that meet the highest standards of purity and efficacy.
The automobile and aeronautics industries, for their part, call on our expertise to optimize their processes, integrate recycled materials into their products and improve their performance.
Finally, the specific needs of the textile and medical sectors complete this diversity. While textiles mainly use supercritical fluids for impregnation, medical devices benefit from long-lasting cleaning processes. Other sectors, such as energy, construction materials and sports equipment, illustrate the ability of supercritical fluids to meet a wide range of complex requirements.
