Products available
Nysosel® 800/810/820
- Very active full hydrogenation catalyst with a nickel content ranging from 16.5 to 21% with a very good cost/benefit ratio.
Nysosel® 880
- With its 11.5% nickel content Nysosel 880 has the lowest nickel content on the market but concurrently is setting the market standard with regard to full hydrogenation activity for CBR feedstock.
Nysosel® 645
- High selective catalyst for partial hydrogenation with low trans fat formation.
Nysofact® 120
- Perfectly suited catalyst for full hydrogenation of fatty acids from animal, marine or vegetable origins.
Nysofact® 117
- Catalyst with excellent resistance against nickel leaching in an acid environment.
Nysofact® 237
- Nysofact® 237 is specifically developed to hydrogenated secondary fatty nitriles to secondary fatty amines in a slurry process. It is coated in a fully saturated secondary amine to make it easy ad safe to handle.
