Doubling capacity of Kromasil® chromatography media in Sweden. Meeting growing demand for peptide-based diabetes and obesity treatments

As part of the former Swedish Nobel Industries, we can trace our history all the way back to the 1640's. Our own proud history starts in 1898 when Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize, was among those who started EKA®-Elektrokemiska Aktiebolaget. Chlorine and alkali were our first products. Now we manufacture sodium chlorate, hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide for the pulp and paper industry.

Numerous improvements including an upgraded chlorine dioxide facility has given the Holmen Group's Iggesund mill a safety and productivity boost.

Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals) has raised production capacity for surface-modified colloidal silica at its Bohus site in Sweden.

Plan to invest in its Kromasil® manufacturing facility in Bohus, Sweden, to meet the increasing global demand from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for high-performing solutions. The investment is expected to double the facility’s existing production capacity, which will strengthen Nouryon’s global leadership position in high-performance silica.

Eka® chlorine dioxide is a preferable bleaching agent used in the production of elemental chlorine-free (ECF) bleached chemical wood pulp all over the world.

Thanks to high temperature tolerance, Levasil® colloidal silica is perfect as a binder in precision investment casting and refractory fiber bonding.

Lower carbon footprint and efficient chemicals, our Integrated Manufacturing Model - Chemical Islands - are powered using renewable biomass energy produced by our pulp manufacturing partners.

Our colloidal silica products - Levasil® CA, with very low levels of chlorides and sulfates are perfect for use in catalysts for the chemical industry.

Our dependable quality colloidal silica - Levasil® CA, with low impurity levels enable reproducible and robust production of synthetic zeolites.
