BIODEGRADABLE, WATER-BASED BIOCOATING. ZERO VOCs, ZERO MICROPLASTICS.
WHAT WE DO
BIOMATERIALS COMPOUNDING
Aliquid develops functional coatings based on PHA biopolymers, applied through its patented water-based emulsion technology.
In agriculture, we create functionalized coatings for seedling trays and recycled-paper plant pots, enhancing their durability and water resistance.
In marine applications, we develop antifouling paints free of synthetic biocides for boating and aquaculture.
These coatings are biodegradable at sea and release neither microplastics nor volatile organic compounds.
For green building, we formulate non-toxic paints that support healthier indoor environments and sustainable construction.
In packaging, we design non-toxic, biodegradable, food-contact coatings for paper and board.
These coatings act as water and grease barriers, replacing conventional plastic films and fluorinated treatments.
All our formulations are water-based, VOC-free and contain no microplastics.
Our research is carried out in collaboration with universities and public research institutes.
Our goal is high-performance materials that return safely to nature at the end of their life.
Aliquid is an innovative SCALE-UP holding national and European patents.
We support our clients from raw material to finished product, and from concept to scientific validation and industrial scale-up.
RESEARCH PARTNERS
Aliquid works with leading Italian research institutions on national and international research projects.
We have a scientific collaboration agreement with the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” (UniBA) on the development and characterization of PHA-based materials and coatings.
We collaborate with the Polytechnic University of Bari (Poliba), Department of Civil, Environmental, Land, Building Engineering and Chemistry (DICATECh), and with the National Research Council (CNR), including CNR-IAS Genoa, which has validated the performance of our marine antifouling coatings.
We take part in the MUSA and Tech4You innovation ecosystems, which bring together universities, research centres and companies on sustainability and climate adaptation.
These partnerships help us turn laboratory research into scalable industrial solutions.
IP PROTECTION & CONSULTING
As a technical consultant, Aliquid supports its clients in designing and carrying out R&D projects on innovative, low-impact materials for industrial applications.
We help turn ideas into structured research programmes, from feasibility studies and project drafting to experimental development and scale-up.
We also assist clients with intellectual property protection, from prior-art searches to patent filing strategies.
Our services cover material characterization and analysis, as well as support with compliance and certification processes.
We work across a wide range of industrial sectors, from packaging and agriculture to construction, marine and consumer goods.
PHA Biomaterials
A new generation of biopolymers is emerging from bacterial fermentation of plant-based feedstocks, turning sugars, oils and agricultural by-products into high-performance materials. PHAs, produced naturally by microorganisms, combine the versatility of conventional plastics with full biodegradability, including in soil and marine environments. This is a new materials era, where nature becomes the factory and every product is designed to return safely to it.
Sustenibility
At Aliquid, sustainability is the starting point of every project: our water-based, VOC-free PHA coatings replace fossil-based materials without compromising performance. From marine antifouling and agricultural coatings to food-contact paper packaging and green building paints, our solutions are designed to biodegrade without releasing microplastics. Working with leading research institutions, we turn scientific innovation into industrial materials that respect people, ecosystems and the sea.
Resarch & Development
Research and development drive our work. Our R&D focuses on compounding and functionalizing PHA biopolymers, using our patented water-based emulsion technology to create high-performance, low-impact coatings and materials. We take each solution from laboratory research to scientific validation. Every project is designed for industrial scale-up, bringing sustainable alternatives to packaging, agriculture, construction, boating and aquaculture.
What We Do for Planet
REPLACING FOSSIL-BASED POLYMERS WITH BIODEGRADABLE PHA's ALTERNATIVES. These materials deliver the same performance without leaving a lasting footprint. From coatings to packaging, every solution we develop is designed to reduce plastic pollution and return safely to nature.
Final thoughts
The future of materials is biodegradable. Plastic pollution and the dependence on fossil resources call for a real change in how we design and produce the materials we use every day.
PHA biopolymers, obtained through bacterial fermentation of plant-based feedstocks, offer the same performance as conventional plastics while biodegrading without leaving microplastics behind.
This is the foundation of everything we do: materials that serve industry today and return safely to nature tomorrow.
Through our patented water-based technology and our partnerships with universities and research centres, we turn scientific insight into validated, scalable solutions.
From marine antifouling and agricultural coatings to food-contact packaging and green building paints, every innovation is designed for industrial impact.
We believe that sustainability and performance are not opposing goals but outcomes of good science.
Beyond our own products, we share our expertise with partners and clients through technical consulting.
We support them from raw material to finished product, and from concept to scientific validation and industrial scale-up, including IP protection, characterization and certification.
Together, we can accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable industry.
