WHERE DO NEW PRODUCTS COME FROM?

Our customers need us to be able to supply products that are both innovative and easy-to-use as well as being durable and safe. We work constantly to develop new products, to improve what we offer and satisfy their needs. We provide custom-made Selena product formulas for use in Asia, Europe, and North and South America, all of which take the weather conditions and the construction technology of each country into account.

We manufacture products using exclusive formulas developed by our own in-house R&D experts. This gives us a competitive edge making Selena one of only a handful of manufacturers able to offer such a wide array of construction chemicals.

Our research is conducted by two teams focused on different segments of the construction market:

  • Selena Labs research centre, which specialises in sealants, adhesives for construction and industrial purposes, polyurethane foams and waterproofing products.
  • Our insulation systems, mortars and dry adhesives development team, which has its laboratories in Poland and Romania and co-operates with the Research Institute of Building Materials (VUSTAH) from Brno, Czech Republic. (VUSTAH).

Selena Labs

Selena Labs was set up in 2010 (originally as the Research Centre of Construction Technology), to co-ordinate research activity for Selena’s production plants in Poland, China, Spain and Turkey. Its key role is to invent new and pioneering products, and some of our recently developed solutions include:

  • new, high-efficiency polyurethane mounting foams
  • thin-bed mortar (polyurethane-based)
  • fire-rated silicone
  • hi-tech hybrid adhesive with a fast initial grip
  • roofing sealants.

Our Polish experts also help to set up production plants across the world in order to monitor implementation of the technologies and solutions developed in our laboratories.
