From single additives to a portfolio of powerful solutions

Clariant is continuously developing its portfolio of additive solutions for the plastics and coatings industry according to your needs. We started with single components for a multitude of technical challenges such as e.g. thermal stabilization, sun and oxidation protection as well as flame retardancy and process stabilization, which form the foundation of our portfolio.

Listening closely to our customers and understanding their needs, we are using our long-term expertise and profound technical knowledge to develop new state-of-the-art special additive combinations which are designed and optimized for the needs of particular market segments and application fields. We focus on both chemistry and the physical form to address easy and safe material handling.

Like in a kaleidoscope, where colored pieces of glass are reflected by mirrors and create ever-changing patterns, our performance additives are combined into an endless variety of solutions to help you optimize the performance of your products and production processes.

Simply by adding them you profit from a multitude of benefits. That is why we call them »AddWorks™«: You ADD them and they WORK for you.

    Clariant catalysts continue to shrink customer footprints: 45M tons of CO2e avoided in 2025
    Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its catalysts had enabled significantly higher emission reductions in 2025 compared to the previous year. Avoided greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 45 million tons of CO2e, 5 million tons higher than in 2024. The emission reductions were made possible by the company's innovative technologies, such as reforming catalysts for producing direct reduced iron (DRI) and nitrous oxide abatement catalysts for nitric acid plants, as well as syngas catalysts for producing green methanol either through electrolytic hydrogen from renewable electricity or from bio-feedstocks. Additionally, Clariant's catalysts for refinery off-gas purification contributed to these avoided emissions, helping refineries and crude-to-chemical complexes reduce their environmental footprint. The DRI process, as one example, has only half of the CO2 intensity compared to conventional steel production.
