Advanced materials & specialized applications in practice

We brought back a flooring material that had disappeared from the market

A flooring company that had relied for years on a specific material from its supplier suddenly faced a critical problem — the product completely disappeared from the market. The original manufacturer had been acquired by another company, which decided to discontinue the entire product line. The material the flooring professionals were used to was essential to their work, so they began searching for a replacement.

The customer turned to Recetex with a request to develop a product matching the parameters of the original material. Although alternative products were available on the market, switching to any of them would have meant extensive testing, changes in technology and workflows, and additional employee training.

The customer provided us with a physical sample of the original material and clearly defined the key properties that mattered most. Based on these requirements, we developed a new product and delivered a sample for real-world testing. Following feedback, we further optimized the material — improving coverage and curing speed compared to the original for even better results.

Thanks to this custom material development, the customer was able to continue working without interruption, avoiding lengthy testing phases and retraining. They eliminated the risks of switching to an unknown product and stayed with a solution perfectly tailored to their needs.

A flooring contractor protected their know-how from the competition. We developed a custom material under their own brand.

An employee of our client — a well-established flooring company — left after acquiring extensive skills and know-how and started a competing business. As an experienced applicator, he knew exactly which materials, tools, and procedures to use. Since those materials were commercially available, he could easily replicate the same services.

The loss of valuable know-how put our client’s business stability at risk, so they turned to our company. We proposed developing their existing materials exclusively under their own brand and product names. This minimized the risk of know-how leakage while allowing them to continue working with materials they already trusted. We also handled all legislation related to using the client’s brand on the products.

The client defined the required parameters and supplied samples of their preferred materials. They chose product names and provided their logo. We developed prototypes with unique labels and tested them together in real conditions. Based on feedback, we further improved the products with a thicker consistency and faster curing time. According to the client, the result was perfect.

Since then, the unique formulation has remained fully under the client’s control. No changes to employee workflows were needed, and the risk of technology misuse was significantly reduced. The exact formulations and processes remain hidden behind the client’s brand — while the client continues to build their own brand, not that of a generic material supplier.

We created an innovative resin for mold casting

The company of Josef Lídl manufactures traditional brass instruments by casting thick layers (up to 10 cm) of molten metal. For many years, they used cast resin molds — but with unsatisfactory results.

Molds for pouring hot metal must withstand extreme conditions: very high temperatures and pressures, while remaining machinable to avoid damaging tools. “We use molds for waterforming — shaping brass parts using internal oil pressure of 200–300 bar,” explains Josef Lídl.

With these demanding requirements, the company approached Recetex.
“After several test samples, we managed to mix the components exactly to suit our needs.”

To help distinguish different mold types, we added color pigments to the resin. The customer has remained a loyal client for years: “The service life of Recetex molds is significantly longer than the products we used before and fully meets our needs. Thank you.”

We developed a specialized polyurethane potting resin

A company manufacturing ballistic protection for military vehicles tasked us with developing a resin that would meet the extreme demands of their industry. Their ballistic protection systems are made from composite materials that rely on specialized resins as a key component.

The required resin needed to deliver excellent adhesion and cohesion within the composite structure, while ensuring the final material meets K3 ballistic protection standards. At Recetex, we embraced the challenge and developed a custom polyurethane resin precisely aligned with the client’s specifications — enabling them to simplify and streamline their entire production process for ballistic protection.

We designed and produced a material for tunnel expansion joint fillings

A client specializing in the rehabilitation of concrete structures — particularly tunnels — struggled to find an effective material for filling expansion joints. They approached us with a request for a product that would be non-sagging, highly elastic, and strongly adhesive to concrete.

We successfully developed a custom expansion joint sealant tailored to their needs, allowing them to efficiently and reliably fill the gaps between tunnel segments on their construction sites.
