Cooperation with business: success stories

The scientists from Liquid Crystal Laboratory of Vilnius university Institute of Applied Research have created and now all over the world export the chemicals, developed on the basis of widely branched aromatic compounds of nitrogen and sulphur. The unique methodologies allow synthesizing new materials with ≥ 99,95 percent of puri-ty, which are used by the recognized companies as “Acros Organics B.V.B.A.” (Belgium), “Chukan Butsu”, Ltd. (Japan), “Alfa Aesar”, “Avocado Research Chemicals“, Ltd. (Great Britain) use for optimization of production lines of TVs, telephones, and other products.

We are led forward by desire to develop and improve. This is the basis for your business to grow.
