Clariant unveils titanium-based catalyst solutions for more sustainable polyester production
Clariant presents its new AddWorks titanium-based catalyst solutions for polyester polymerization at K 2025, the world's premier trade fair for plastics and rubber.
Set to launch in 2026, this technology offers a more sustainable and high-performance alternative to traditional antimony-based catalysts, addressing both environmental concerns and supply chain challenges, and simplifying PET recycling to support circularity in the polyester industry. While the initial focus is on PET due to its large global market, Clariant’s titanium-based catalyst solutions are designed to work across the entire polyester family, including PETG, PCT, PBT, PTT, PBAT, TPEE, and even emerging polyesters like PEF, by acting as a highly effective transesterification/polycondensation catalyst.
