High-performance
catalysts & adsorbents
for olefin purification
In today's demanding polyolefin production landscape, feed purity stands as a critical factor for success. At Clariant, we've developed the PolyMax™ and ActiSorb™ series specifically to meet this challenge. Our high-performance catalysts and adsorbents deliver exceptional purification down to parts per billion levels, ensuring your polymerization catalysts remain protected and your production stays reliable and on-spec.
Drawing from over 70 years of catalyst development and manufacturing excellence, Clariant stands at the forefront of purification technology. Our solutions are customized to match any plant configuration, effectively handling the most challenging contaminants in both ethylene and propylene feeds.
Highly efficient impurity removal
Flexible to changing streams and contaminants
Tailored to fit your process
Reduces consumption of polymer catalysts
High activity with superior stability
Safeguarding your catalysts: smart protection for complex production
Polyolefin production relies on Ziegler-Natta and single-site catalysts, including metallocene variants. These catalysts, while highly efficient, are extremely sensitive to contaminants like carbon monoxide, oxygen, arsine, sulfur, acetylenes, and dienes.
Our advanced purification processes provide essential protection for these vulnerable catalysts, ensuring continuous, efficient production even under challenging conditions.
Reliable production through advanced feed purification
The PolyMaxTM and ActiSorbTM series find their primary application in the ethylene and propylene pretreatment sections of polyolefins plants. Additionally, these solutions prove invaluable in refinery propylene purification processes. Through efficient purification of monomer and co-monomer feeds, our technology enables plants to maximize both capacity and uptime, maintaining production reliability regardless of feedstock variations.
