Special Chemicals Group

Specialty chemicals encompass functional chemical solutions developed for specific industrial or commercial requirements beyond standard cleaning, maintenance and surface treatment applications. Products within this group are generally formulated according to a particular operating condition, process requirement, environmental factor or technical challenge. The Specialty Chemicals Group therefore has a product structure that is not limited to a single chemical technology or application area and can expand according to the specific requirements of different industries. Low-temperature conditions, icing, process control, technical cleaning, hygiene in agricultural operations and maintenance of air handling systems are among the main application areas that can be considered within this scope.

De-icing and anti-icing chemicals are among the characteristic applications of the group. They are used particularly in cold storage facilities, loading areas, ramps, transition points and low-temperature operating facilities to remove existing ice layers and control the formation of new ice. In these applications, operating temperature, surface material, environmental conditions and application frequency are key parameters that should be considered when selecting the appropriate product.

The group may also include functional chemical additives used at specific stages of production processes, specialized cleaning and hygiene solutions for agricultural and livestock operations, and chemicals used in the maintenance of air processing systems. Process additives can be used to modify the physical or chemical properties of materials during production, support process stability or control final product characteristics. In air processing applications, the cleaning and maintenance of air-conditioning systems, air ducts, filters, coils and other air handling equipment are key areas of focus.

In this respect, the Specialty Chemicals Group represents a broad and continuously evolving field of industrial chemicals developed to address technical requirements that cannot be met by standard product groups, ranging from icing control and process support to specialized cleaning, hygiene and air handling applications.
