Chemical catalysts products and services

We offer catalysts for selective hydrogenation, for both ethylene plant configurations: front-end and tail-end.

Our amination catalysts are used for a variety of speciality amines production and downstream of our oxo-alcohol catalysts.

Ammonia cracking is the process by which ammonia is decomposed towards hydrogen and nitrogen over a catalyst (based on base or pgm metals).

Johnson Matthey supplies both un-reduced and pre-reduced ammonia synthesis catalysts, based on more than 80 years' operating experience with ICI.

Following recent environmental legislation and an increasing awareness on the part of product manufacturers for sustainable products, the need to replace non-renewable fossil raw materials is more apparent than ever.

We have formulated PRICAT™ PD 468 to ensure high C4 acetylene conversion whilst minimising butadiene hydrogenation and green oil formation.

We have a range of PRICAT™ PD catalysts for effective selective hydrogenation of acetylenes and butadienes to butylenes.

Steam cracking can produce pentenes at over 130 kg per MT of ethylene produced from liquids cracking, depending upon cracking severity and feedstock.

Johnson Matthey’s CATACEL SSR tailored catalyst technology is a proven high performance, direct replacement catalytic solution for producing hydrogen from natural gas through the steam reforming process.

Our custom catalyst programmes deliver products suitable for reliable scale up from gram to kilo and kilo to tonne for customers worldwide. This makes us a desirable catalyst partner in today’s chemical industry.
