AkzoNobel is launching Imagine Chemistry, an exciting opportunity to partner with start-up firms, students, research groups and career scientists from across the world to jointly exploit the knowledge of chemistry and solve several real-life chemistry-related challenges.

Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals) has named an additional finalist, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, for its 2019 Imagine Chemistry collaborative innovation challenge, bringing the total number to 14.

Nouryon today announced an exclusive agreement with Brenntag Specialties to serve as the sole distributor of Nouryon’s patented LumaTreat® tagged polymers in the US and Canada. The agreement encompasses a wide portfolio of Nouryon’s specialty polymers and provides water treatment professionals greater access to critical ingredients for industrial and commercial cooling and heating systems.

The 10th anniversary of Nouryon Specialty Chemicals’ Ningbo site marks another milestone in the company’s growth journey in China.

Bermocoll® EHEC (Ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose) and MEHEC (methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose) – high-quality non-ionic cellulose ethers for paint and building applications.

Akucell Cellulose Gum, a water soluble polymer which functions as a thickener, binder, stabilizer in a wide number of food and health care applications Our EHEC, MEHEC and CMC cellulose ethers are reliable rheology solutions for industries such as building, construction, paint, food, mining and oilfield.

A look back at the chemical industry in innovation terms clearly shows that there have been two significant eras of development. The first, which dates back to the early 1800s, involved the development of products such as paints or soaps that could be derived from natural oils and minerals.

They are essential ingredients in many polymer products, helping to produce them, improve their properties, and make them easier to process or recycle.

A pioneering project that started in Nouryon’s bleaching chemicals operations in Brazil has shown how measuring the true impact of our operations on human, social, and natural capital can point to improvements that offer big sustainability benefits. The process is now being applied more widely across our company and is helping us create additional business value.
