OxyMax™ PA Series
Fecha de edición :
febrero 06, 2026
OxyMax™ PA catalysts offer high performance in selective oxidation of o-xylene, naphthalene and mixed feedstocks to phthalic anhydride (PA). They are produced with Clariant’s proprietary fluid-bed coating process. Proprietary promotors optimize activity and selectivity in a multi-layer catalyst design. This enables catalyst solutions to be tailored to individual plant operating conditions and needs.
