InnoGEL Technology

Our Know-how

We change the polymer properties through physical networks, e.g. GELS. This patent protected technology was first developed for renewable polymers and later on for  synthetic polymers (e.g. starch).

InnoGEL Technology

Our Infrastructure

swissGEL has a fully equipped laboratory, excellent staff and further resources of material scientists, physicists, chemists and food scientists in the NovoGEL group. With this background we are able to rapidly prototype new formulations and conduct the product development.
