Fatty acid hydrogenation

Our nickel based catalysts were optimized to fully hydrogenate fatty acids of animal, marine or vegetable origin. The catalysts are robust and are especially suited for fatty acid hydrogenations carried out at conditions that cause deactivation by the formation of nickel soaps such as high temperatures (>200◦C) and low pressure. Our catalysts enable hydrogenation to very low iodine values.

Nysofact® 117

IQatalyst’s Nysofact® 117 is a highly effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of fatty acids to very low iodine values. Nysofact® 117 shows optimal suppression of nickel soaps formation and has excellent filtration characteristics. Nysofact® 117 is sold reduced and protected in fully hardened vegetable oil.

Nysofact® 120

IQatalyst’s Nysofact® 120 is a highly effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of fatty acids to very low iodine values. Nysofact® 120 shows optimal suppression of nickel soaps, is very poison resistant and has excellent filtration characteristics. Nysofact® 120 is sold reduced and protected in fully hardened vegetable oil.

Fatty nitril hydrogenation

Our nickel based catalysts were optimized to hydrogenate fatty nitriles to form partly or fully hydrogenated fatty amines. Depending on the reaction conditions applied, both primary as well as higher alkyl amines can be obtained. Our catalysts can be used as aid in the processing or transformation of raw materials, foodstuffs or their ingredients.

Nysofact® 237

IQatalyst’s Nysofact® 237 is a highly effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of fatty nitriles to fatty amines. It can be steered towards the production of saturated as well as unsaturated fatty amines. Nysofact® 237 is sold reduced and protected in waxy secondary amine droplets.

E 480 P RS

IQatalyst product E 480 P RS is a versatile 65% nickel powder catalyst on a proprietary support. The catalyst is sold in reduced-CO2-stabilized form. E 480 P RS is applied in the production of fatty amines from nitriles due to its high selectivity and good filtration characteristics. It is also used in the hydrogenation of aromatics and olefins as well as in the reduction of carbonyls and nitro groups.

Resin hydrogenation

IQatalyst provides well developed catalysts designed for the slurry phase hydrogenation of C9 and DCPD petroleum resins. The hydrogenation makes resins water white in color and improves the long term stability. All products have high activity and good filterability. For the superior hydrogenation activity and the lowest cracking behavior, Ni5386P is the catalyst of choice. Ni5338P has good hydrogenation activity and outstanding color removal behavior. Ni5249P provides optimized filtration.

Ni 5249 P RS

IQatalyst product Ni 5249 P RS is a versatile 64% nickel powder catalyst combining a high activity with superb filterability. The catalyst is sold in reduced-CO2-stabilized form.

Ni 5336 P RS

IQatalyst product Ni 5336 P RS is a 62% nickel powder catalyst designed for the hydrogenation of C9 and DCPD petroleum resins. The catalyst is sold in reduced-CO2-stabilized form.

Ni 5338 P RS

IQatalyst product Ni 5338 P RS is a 62% nickel powder catalyst designed for the hydrogenation of C9 and DCPD petroleum resins. The catalyst is sold in reduced-CO2-stabilized form.

Various functional group hydrogenations

IQatalyst provides well developed catalysts designed for the slurry phase hydrogenation of aromatic and olefinic feedstocks. Reductions of carbonyls, nitro-group containing (aromatic and non-aromatic) feeds and reduction of nitriles to amines, as well as the reductive amination of alcohols and ketones will also be facilitated by our powder catalysts.

E 480 P RS

IQatalyst product E 480 P RS is a versatile 65% nickel powder catalyst on a proprietary support. The catalyst is sold in reduced-CO2-stabilized form. E 480 P RS is applied in the production of fatty amines from nitriles due to its high selectivity and good filtration characteristics. It is also used in the hydrogenation of aromatics and olefins as well as in the reduction of carbonyls and nitro groups.
