In 2025, Clariant is proud to celebrate a significant milestone: 50 years of Exolit AP flame retardants protecting lives and property around the world. Based on advanced ammonium polyphosphate (APP) technology, these pioneering flame retardants have become the industry benchmark in a wide range of applications, including intumescent coatings, fire barrier sealing systems, thermoset composites for e-mobility battery housings and coatings, rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation foams and more. As Clariant marks this golden anniversary, it is not just celebrating past achievements but actively shaping the future of fire protection.
Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that it has renewed its successful cooperation with Midrex and will intensify collaboration in direct reduced iron (DRI) technology for steel production. A low-carbon alternative to conventional coal-based ironmaking, natural gas-based DRI converts natural gas with recycled CO2 and H2O to generate reducing gas for the production process. The technology combines MIDREX® Reformers with Clariant-manufactured REFORMEX® Catalysts, which offer superior activity and stability to increase productivity, reduce energy consumption, and minimize carbon emissions. MIDREX DRI technology avoids around one ton of CO2 per ton of crude steel.
