At Johnson Matthey we supply an established range of catalysts with excellent history of use in a wide range of hydrogenation processes using a vast selection of raw materials Our catalysts offer unparalleled reliability, repeatability and performance combined with a strong offering of technical support to ensure the best results when using our products. Our portfolio of catalysts offers solutions for a range of applications: • Fats & Oils for edible products • Fatty acids (and triglycerides) hydrogenation for technical products The PRICAT™, AMCAT™ and Sponge Metal™ nickel hydrogenation catalysts...

Fats & Oils JM are market leaders in the supply of catalysts into the fats and oils industry. Our range of PRICAT 99 series catalysts are formulated to maximise desired products, give optimum product characteristics, minimise unwanted by-products to ensure efficient, effective processes. For hydrogenation of fats and oils we have a range of products to suit specific customer needs. These include: • selective hydrogenation catalysts with optimum selectivity in partial hydrogenation • full hydrogenation catalysts • catalysts specifically tailored for steep melting curve fats with extremely high...

Our products JM’s two manufacturing sites for their PRICAT products in Emmerich, Germany and Taloja, India give sufficient manufacturing capacity and flexibility to reliably supply customer needs globally. The catalysts are supplied pre‑reduced for ease of use without a long pre‑reduction step. The active catalysts are encapsulated in hardened fat to give protection from air and ensure safe, easy handling, dispensing and dispersion in the process. PRICAT 9910 – Regular/full hydrogenation PRICAT 9908 – Steep melting curve fats Our standard catalyst for edible oil hydrogenation has an outstanding...

Fatty acids JM also supply catalysts for selective and full hydrogenation of fatty acid feeds for industrial applications. Fatty acids require specially formulated catalysts which have increased resistance to nickel soap formation meaning better performance in fatty acid feeds. PRICAT 9932 – Regular fatty acid hydrogenation This catalyst achieves high activity in distilled and undistilled fatty acids and is formulated for excellent stability against fatty acid dissolution. PRICAT 9932 is an excellent choice for full hydrogenation of fatty acids (e.g. for the products with high oxidative stability...

Quality and consistency Detailed laboratory analysis and testing of manufactured catalysts under real hydrogenation reactions ensure that we consistently supply catalysts of the highest quality. From selecting and using high quality raw materials right through to our finished products, quality is assessed and checked ensuring it is at the heart of our manufacturing. Use of sophisticated tools and methods, such as statistical process control, ensure we supply the most consistent and technically robust catalyst on the market today. In addition to this, our catalysts are safe and simple to handle...

Sponge Metal catalysts For the slurry-bed hydrogenation of dextrose to sorbitol, we have a wide choice of our molybdenum promoted nickel Sponge Metal catalysts. These catalysts are also used in hydrogenation reactions in the production of other polyols, like mannitol, maltitol, xylitol and lactitol. JM’s Sponge Metal catalysts manufacturing site is located in Sevierville, Tennessee, USA, at the foothills of the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. The modern production plants and laboratory facilities produce high quality alloy powders and activated catalysts with great consistency. The plant is...

Fatty amines Hydrogenation of fatty nitriles to fatty amines can be achieved with our Sponge Metal catalysts (either nickel or cobalt based). These catalysts are prepared from alloys of nickel (or cobalt) and aluminium. Our proprietary AMCAT catalysts are activated Sponge Metal encapsulated catalysts in which water has been displaced by an aliphatic amine. They offer unique handling and safety properties, as well as being highly effective catalysts. The properties of our AMCAT catalysts offer plant operations the following benefits: • non-pyrophoric • non-dusting • easy to weigh • no water addition...

Our technical services help support effective and efficient running of your plant. Use of JM catalysts and the technical support available helps ensure success, efficiency and profitability for our customers. JM offers technical services including: • catalysts selection • process optimisation • technical information on use of catalysts/ hydrogenation • technical seminars for all levels of users of catalysts -process/plant operators, engineers and plant managers
