The life sciences and fine chemicals industries use catalytic reactions on a wide scale, typically conducted in batch processes. These industries have a wide range of catalytic needs - from the optimum catalyst and reaction conditions in the process, to health & safety, strict confidentiality, right through to final product recycle or disposal.

Degussa, as your Solution Partner , offers products and services to meet all of these catalytic needs. We have been manufacturing precious and non-precious metal catalysts for decades, and we have earned a world leading reputation in technical know-how, innovation and quality.

Our wide assortment of catalysts have controllable parameters such as metal type, carrier type and manufacturing method - by working closely with our research centers, these parameters can be tailored to meet the individual conditions in your process. We can then advise on the most efficient conditions for the process to optimize catalyst performance and product yield. And, at the end of the process, we can then offer optimum solutions to recover the valuable metals contained in the spent catalysts.

We offer these services globally, through our production and research centers in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. Confidentiality is assured through mutually agreed confidentiality agreements.
