Next-Generation Ultra-High Selectivity, High-Stability Low-Temperature Shift (LTS) Catalyst
ShiftMax 217 Plus
Edition Date :
February 06, 2026
ShiftMax™ 217 Plus is the latest generation of Clariant’s low-temperature Shift catalysts. It utilizes the proven chemical composition of ShiftMax 217 and exhibits the same high activity together with improved selectivity and robustness.
Due to the introduction of an optimized production process, ShiftMax 217 Plus exhibits a more homogenous distribution of the active metals and promoters within the catalyst matrix.
Product Information
Benefits
Product benefits
- Ultra-low MeOH make
- Enhanced selectivity due to optimized promoter concentration and distribution
