The Specialty Additives division combines the businesses of high-performance additives with versatile crosslinkers. Small amount - big effect: This is how our specialties make the difference, for end-products becoming more valuable, more durable, more energy-efficient and in many ways simply better. Products and application examples are: Additives for polyurethane foams (rigid/flexible foam), for example, for mattresses, car seats, and insulating materials. Additives, matting agents, fumed silicas, and specialty resins for paints, coatings, and printing inks. lsophorone and epoxy curing agents, for example, for coatings, adhesives, and composites. Pour point depressants and viscosity index improvers for oil and other lubricants for construction machinery and the automotive sector.

In the Nutrition & Care division, everything resolves around human well-being - around health and the quality of life. All products are used directly on, or in humans or animals. They are functional actives, not simply materials. Products and application examples are: D-/L-methionine and lysine as essential amino acids for the animal nutrition industry. Pharmaceutical active ingredients: Exclusive synthesis of active ingredients, pharmaceutical polymers for drug delivery systems. Medical products: Biocompatible and bioresorbable materials for orthopedic and medical applications. Cell culture: Pharmaceutical amino acids and peptides. System solutions for the cosmetics and detergents industries.

The Smart Materials division supplies high-performance materials for environment-friendly and energy-efficient systems to adhesives, and construction industries, and many other sectors. Products and appliations examples are: Inorganic materials: Fumed and precipitated silicas and silanes, for example, for the automotive, tire, electronics, and cosmetics industries. Peroxides as sterilizing agents, cleaning agents for silicon wafers, and environment-friendly bleaching agents for the paper and textile industries. Specialty catalysts for synthesis and alkoxides for use in catalysts in the production of biodiesel. High-tech polymers: Polyamide 12 for sports shoe soles, sunglasses, gas and oil pipelines, and many safety-critical automotive components. Polymer foams for lightweight structures, specialty polybutadiene and polyester, membranes for efficient treatment of biogas, natural gas, and hydrogen.

The Performance Materials business produces key intermediates for the areas of mobility, construction, living at home, hygiene, rubber, and polymers. It also has a clear focus on activities to enhance sustainability, such as biogenic raw materials and reducing CO2. Products and application examples are: Performance Intermediates: Butadiene, MTBE, butene-1, isono- nanol, DINP for use in the automotive industry, for example, as plasticizers, synthetic rubber for tires, and fuel additives. Superabsorbents for diapers and hygiene products.

As a driver of innovation and digitization in the production environment, the Technology & Infrastructure division offers a full range of expertise revolving around chemical production. Products and Application areas are: Energy management, Integrated plant support and maintenance. Process engineering, process safety. Pipelines, transport management, logistics safety. Digital solutions for chemical production and strategic site development.
