Depending on the fluid and the equipment used, processes using supercritical fluids can meet your needs and enable you to :

  • Removing technological barriers
  • Optimize your production process
  • Finding a sustainable alternative to conventional production methods

A single technology for multiple unit operations

The proportion of research & development studies  carried out by IFS has been calculated on the basis of sales.

The process most commonly used by IFS is supercritical CO2 extraction. It is used in particular for :

  •     Recycling waste to isolate high value-added compounds
  •     Recycling plastics to eliminate undesirable compounds
  •  Extracting bioactive compounds from vegetal material
  •     Degreasing animal matter. 

Supercritical CO2 impregnation mainly treats textiles, but is also regularly applied to polymers and construction materials such as wood. 

In the same way as for cleaning, medical devices are not the only type of product treated: we also find industrial or mechanical parts, following machining for example. 

Other frequently used supercritical processes include aerogel drying and chemical purification.
