Applications
Life Science
Several active substances/medicines have to be released continuously over a long period of time or have to be delivered specifically to the site of action. This is necessary in order to achieve the best possible effect or to reduce possible side effects. Surflay develops drug delivery systems. We are also engaged in the coating of medical devices (e.g. stents).

Water is a valuable commodity, especially in times of drought and in areas with low water resources. In addition, the manufacturing industry in many industries requires thousands of cubic meters of fresh water, which must then be purified again. We develop novel membrane technologies together with our partners from the water industry.
see our projects ...Agriculture
Today, agriculture faces enormous challenges. On the one hand, farmers have to work as productively and economically as possible, and on the other hand, they are required to produce in an ecologically sustainable way. Surflay can support agriculture with innovative encapsulation techniques for pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.

Innovative cosmetic products are transforming the beauty industry, particularly in hair coloring and tattooing. New hair dyes offer vibrant, long-lasting colors with nourishing ingredients that promote hair health. Meanwhile, advanced tattooing techniques, such as semi-permanent inks, allow for creative expression without the lifelong commitment. These trends empower individuals to explore their unique styles while prioritizing hair and skin care.
