Building a future-focused product portfolio
Today, customers seek products that offer better performance in all functional aspects, while being more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. We strive to meet customer and societal expectations by producing cleaner, faster and lighter products for 21st-century applications.
Our R&D efforts are focused on sustainability, specifically on proactively addressing global trends, challenges and the resulting changing regulatory requirements. Over the years, we have been investing in advanced technologies and processes to develop materials for tomorrow.
Anhydrous carbon pellets (ACP)
We believe that this proprietary and value-added calcined product has a bright future due to its potential for energy savings and emissions reduction, as well as its ability to improve our GPC utilisation.
Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins (HHCR) products
To serve the growing demand for cleaner and contaminant-free products, such as adhesives used in hygiene products and food packaging, due to regulatory changes and societal expectation, we have built a portfolio of 'water-white' resins at our new HHCR facility in Germany.
PETRORES® and LiONCOAT®
These trademarks represent engineered-product lines of specifically designed carbon precursor materials for particle coating and binding of battery anode materials used in all lithium-ion batteries. In the manufacture of battery anode materials, they are transformed into carbon constituents like thin amorphous carbon-particle surface coatings that are critical for battery-cell performance because they affect battery durability, safety, and stored energy capacity, as well as charging and discharging speed.
