CATALYSTS
A diverse product line featuring catalysts to support environmental remediation and catalysts used in essential daily items.
De-NOx catalysts and de-DXN catalysts break down nitrogen oxides and dioxin generated by thermal power plants and waste incineration facilities. Hydrogenation catalysts (nickel/copper catalysts) are used to produce raw materials used in shampoo, adhesives, and optical films. Polyester polymerization catalysts are used to produce raw materials used in polyester fibers, PET bottles, and PET films.

PRODUCT LIST
De-NOx Catalysts/ De-DXN Catalysts
■Overview
De-NOx catalysts reduce and eliminate nitrogen oxide generated by power plants and waste incineration. De-DXNs catalysts break down and eliminate dioxins generated by waste incineration. Both of these can assist with environmental remediation, and they are expected to gain increasing attention in the near future. We have established advanced formulation technologies that optimize the interactions between titanium dioxide, active metals, and forming additives to achieve the ideal catalyst quality. In addition, through years of refinement, we have developed production processes that maximize performance while ensuring excellent formability. We are confident that we have products to match every need of our clients, and we welcome new inquiries.
