Copper-chromite Catalysts for Hydrogenation of Aldehydes, Ketones or Esters to Alcohols
HyMax™ Series
Date d’édition :
mars 15, 2026
HyMax™ is a series of copper-chromite hydrogenation catalysts that offer high acid stability for selective conversion of aldehydes, ketones or esters to the corresponding alcohols. The catalysts are ideal for liquid and trickle-bed hydrogenation, and can be applied in selected gas phase processes.
Typical applications for our robust copper-chromite catalysts include liquid-phase production of fatty-alcohol or oxo-alcohol, as well as amines. HyMax hydrogenation catalysts are supplied as tablets or in powder form, and available as oxides, or reduced and stabilized under liquid (e.g. decanol).
