The science of Synetix

Synetix is ICI’s catalyst business. Our catalysts are high value products. Every granule embodies intensive investment, research, testing and proving. The catalyst’s job is to speed up reactions within chemical manufacturing processes.

Catalysis is a quiet science. But if catalysts were quietly to disappear, the world would be left with billions of dollars of abandoned plant designed around them for making medicines, clothing, furnishing, food and drink. Technologies used in car exhausts, oil refineries, breweries and power stations would no longer work. Prices would be higher. Quality would be lower. Consumer choice would be set back thirty years.

Looking ahead, catalysis can go on making dramatic differences. It is a futuristic, growing and exciting science. It can improve existing products and develop revolutionary new ones; transform existing industries and create new industries.

Catalysis is in the forefront of change. Synetix is the forefront of catalysis. It is the result of combining five businesses, each a world leader in its market. Pooling their strengths in research, know-how and manufacture has brought about the synergy which defines Synetix.

The world class resources of talent, technology and money which Synetix can now amass puts us at the global cutting edge. Which is why you can trust Synetix to give you the leading edge.
