Smallmatek Small Materials and Technologies Lda. Revenue and Competitors

Smallmatek is an innovation-driven company that offers integrated solutions for protection of metal structures against corrosion and biofouling failure, combining the development and production of cost-effective and eco-efficient “smart” additives with expert consulting services. These additives are based on (nano)technology that promotes the controlled release of active substances from smart micro-/ nanomaterials in response to very specific stimuli. Smallmatek is equally committed with environmentally sustainable practices, including assessing the safety, toxicity and environmental impact of all micro- and nanomaterials produced by us or our customers. We have an extensive experience in services supply in the areas of monitoring and characterization of corrosion and biofouling phenomena, as well as in the toxicity assessment of chemical compounds, environmental impact assessment and environmental monitoring of anthropogenic activities (covering physical-chemical analytical determinations and a wide-range of biological aspects, including sampling and identification of plankton, invertebrates or ichthyofauna). Recently, we started to quantify and characterize the presence of microplastics in the waters, sediments and residues of WWTPs. Headquartered in Aveiro (Portugal) and with a close relationship with the University of Aveiro, one of the most innovative and dynamic Portuguese academic institutions, Smallmatek is intended to be an effective provider of know-how to national and international industrial players to generate high-value products, thereby fostering the growth of economical activity in specific branches of the market (corrosion, fouling and coating technology).
