PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
MARKET-ORIENTED RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
In 2016 the first products aligned to our R&D growth fields were developed to market maturity. Examples are biosurfactants, a new class of bio-based surfactants with enhanced properties that are produced entirely biologically.
NUTRITION & CARE
In the Nutrition & Care division, everything revolves 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. This is what characterizes our three business lines: Health Care, Care Solutions and Animal Nutrition.
SPECIALTY ADDITIVES
The Specialty Additives division combines the businesses of versatile additives and high-performance crosslinkers. Small amount - big effect: In keeping with this principle, our specialties make the difference. They make our clients' products more valuable, more durable, save more energy and in many respects, simply better.
SMART MATERIALS
The Smart Materials division includes businesses with innovative materials that enable resource-saving solutions and replace conventional materials. The products are continuously developed and adapted to the needs of the customers. They are the smart answer to the major challenges of our time: environment, urbanization, energy efficiency, mobility and health.
PERFORMANCE MATERIALS
