2010 – 2011 Croda, Gouda
Chemical Laboratory Technician

Application work
Particle size distribution determination
Acid value determination
Brookfield viscosity determination
Hardness determination
Drying time determination
Rheology, flow determination

Summary
I worked in a project team with focus on water based paints. Customer resins were treated with Croda’s surfactants in a stable emulsion and implemented in the final water based paint product. The aim of this project was to provide the customers with Croda’s optimised surfactant formulations.

Internship

2009 – 2010 Croda, Gouda
Trainee

Organic Synthesis
Amidation
Esterification
Etherification
Urethane reactions

Application work
Tensile strength determination
Flexibility determination
