Hydrogenation & Specialty

Products we offer

Our catalyst products are a vital and strategic part of process technology and each of our heterogeneous catalysts is specific to a given process and can be tailored to provide a given set of end results – speed of reaction or process, enhanced product attributes, and the selectivity of end products. Choosing the right catalyst for the process is a crucial factor for success. Catalysts play a crucial role in 90% of all commercially produced chemical products. 

Our product portfolio covers base metal (Cu, Ni, Al, Zn, etc.) catalysts and precious metal (Pd, Pt, Ru, Rh, etc.) catalysts. Catalysts are supplied in different shapes (tablet, extrudate, powder, star, etc.) and can be used for fixed bed and slurry phase operations.
