Chemicals 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.

Amines are compounds derived from ammonia and contain a nitrogen atom with a lone electron pair. Amination is the process by which an amine group is added to an organic compound.

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

Ammonium hexachloroiridate(IV) | CAS: 16940-92-4

Ammonium tetrachloroaurate | CAS: 31113-23-2

Ammonium tetrachloroplatinate | CAS: 13820-41-2

The PURASPEC product range contains a specially designed absorbent which is selective for the removal of arsine from natural gas streams. PURASPEC material is proven in the field for the last 15 years for arsine removal from natural gas streams.

Johnson Matthey’s DAVY™ biodiesel process offers a solution to this problem. Our flowsheet can employ inexpensive low-quality non-edible feeds, in addition to virgin and higher-quality oils.

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.
