2. Pilot Line: Validate the Formulation at Pilot Scale

Once the resin formulation is validated, we will conduct pilot-scale testing to confirm compatibility with your process. During this phase, ResiCare will support you by temporarily supplying equipment to produce Resi4YOU, providing raw materials for industrial tests, and producing resin using our equipment when needed. This ensures that performance is validated under real-world conditions before scaling up. 

Pricing: ~€5,000 per loop + ~200 kg resin  

Timeline: 6 months to 1 year

Industrial Line: Co-Validation at Full Scale

The final step is industrial-scale validation, in which we collaborate to ensure repeatability and performance. ResiCare facilitates this process by supplying the necessary equipment and raw materials for industrial trials, as well as producing the required resin. This collaborative approach guarantees a smooth transition to commercialization and long-term reliability. 

Pricing: Labor cost + material flat rate
