Lindlar catalysts

Johnson Matthey manufactures a comprehensive range of Lindlar catalysts developed through extensive R&D to optimise the catalyst for selective hydrogenation reactions. With the increased complexity of APIs and performance demands, carrying out controlled hydrogenations in the presence of multiple functional groups becomes more challenging. Our flexibility in designing and tailoring new catalysts for your specific application provides the optimal catalyst solution for your transformation. 

Johnson Matthey’s technical experts can provide you with guidance on choosing the right palladium on calcium carbonate catalyst for your project. 

Advantages of Lindlar catalysts:

  • Suitable for highly selective alkyne hydrogenations.
  • Catalysts are designed to optimise metal location and distribution for improved performance at lower catalyst loading.
  • Stable and robust carbon for long reaction lifetimes allowing for easy filtration from your process for recovery, reuse, and refining.

Other Pd CaCO₃ catalysts

Johnson Matthey also provides other Pd CaCO₃ catalysts to meet the needs of your application. The catalysts are used for challenging alkyne or alkene hydrogenations where selectivity is crucial.
