Chemical intermediates

The chemical intermediates industry is responsible for producing essential materials that are applied in a broad range of industries. Two vital aspects of this industry include catalysts and special solvents. Catalysts play a crucial role in the production of many vital products, including plastics, fuels, and pharmaceuticals, by increasing the efficiency of chemical reactions and minimizing energy input. Special solvents are essential for various processes, such as purification, extraction, and separation, and are used in numerous applications, including cleaning, degreasing, and as carriers for active ingredients. Phosphorus chemicals play a vital role in the chemical intermediates industry as it is one of the Earth’s most reactive and, if skillfully combined, most versatile elements. Continued innovation by this industry is necessary to meet the demands of modern society while increasing sustainability and efficiency.
