Renewable Materials Conference 2026: Taros Chemicals in Siegburg

Performance Chemicals & Polymers – From R&D to Scale-Up

Taros Discovery will attend the Renewable Materials Conference 2026 from 22–24 September in Siegburg, Germany, represented by Dr. Arunendra Pathak and Dr. David Bevk.

 

The 2026 conference focuses on “Defossilisation through Innovation”, with topics ranging from fine and speciality chemicals and renewable feedstocks to bio-based, CO₂-based and recycled polymers.

Supporting Performance Chemicals & Polymers from Research to Scale-Up

Developing a new polymer or performance chemical requires more than demonstrating that the chemistry works at laboratory scale. A viable product also needs reproducible synthesis, appropriate material properties and a process that can ultimately be transferred towards larger-scale production.

Taros supports projects across:

  • Polymer research and development
  • Bio-based polymer synthesis
  • Dispersion and emulsion polymerisation
  • PFAS-free process research
  • Performance chemicals
  • Polymer analysis and reverse engineering
  • Route scouting and process development
  • Pilot and larger-scale production

These capabilities form the core of Taros’ positioning for Renewable Materials Conference 2026.

Connecting Renewable Feedstocks with Scalable Chemistry

The move towards renewable materials often begins with a new feedstock, polymer concept or desired performance profile. Turning that concept into a practical process may require changes to molecular design, synthetic route, reaction conditions, purification and scale-up strategy.

Taros can support programmes involving:

  • Renewable and bio-based starting materials
  • Alternative synthetic routes
  • Polymer synthesis and modification
  • Reverse engineering of existing materials
  • Process optimisation
  • Performance and analytical evaluation
  • Scale-up and technology transfer

Where appropriate, projects can progress from Dortmund-based R&D towards pilot and manufacturing support in Hyderabad, connecting early chemistry development with larger-scale requirements. Taros’ RMC positioning spans multi-gram through multi-ton requirements and draws on more than 25 years of process know-how.

Meet Taros at Renewable Materials Conference 2026

 

Dr. Arunendra Pathak and Dr. David Bevk will represent Taros in Siegburg and look forward to discussing projects involving new polymers, performance chemicals and scalable materials chemistry.

Meet the Taros team to discuss:

  • Bio-based polymers
  • PFAS-free processes
  • Renewable feedstocks
  • Polymer R&D
  • Performance chemicals
  • Reverse engineering
  • Process development
  • Pilot and large-scale production

Whether you are developing a new material or improving an existing process, we would be pleased to discuss where external chemistry and process-development support could help move the programme forward.
