Research And Development Special Projects

During last years different projects have been developed in GFC Chimica’s labs. Some of them have been financially supported by public funds. Some others have been developed on behalf of private companies.

At present days GFC Chimica is working on the use Nanoparticles of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate in Plasters and Mortars. The study is developed on behalf of world famous Solvay and Macri Chemicals, an italian company.

Nanotechnologies are – in GFC vision – the door to the future of the coting filed. That’s why the company is working on the use of different kinds of nanoparticles in paint and varnishes, in fields like photoreactions, photocathalysis and photoluminescence.

Different projects have been developed with the University of Ferrara, the most important of which is the “Edible Coating” project, which studies the use of natural binders and antioxidant vitamins to make fruits and vegetables last longer.
