For polypropylene, polyethylene and synthetic rubber production.

Each year, millions of tons of polyethylene, polypropylene and several types of synthetic rubbers are manufactured with our products. These polymers find their way into a wide variety of consumer products such as plastic packaging, toys and automotive parts.

Metal alkyls are also used as co-catalyst in a variety of related technologies, which are extensions of Ziegler chemistry. These include oligomerization of ethylene, dimerization and cyclodimerization of olefins and dienes and ring opening polymerization.

We supply our metal alkyls and custom synthesis from sites in: Jiaxing (recently acquired by Nouryon - Zhejiang Friend Chemical Co.), La Porte (Texas, USA), Rotterdam (the Netherlands), as well as from regional filling stations in Brazil and India.

Featured applications

Pharmaceuticals In pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis, our products facilitate various asymmetric steps and are especially useful in reduction, addition, alkylation and deprotonation.
Polymer production Our product portfolio includes metal alkyls which are essential ingredients for the thermoplastic, composite and rubber industry.
