EnglishWhat industries and product areas does Clariant serve?
Updated
Clariant is a specialty chemical company whose business is organized around four focus areas: Care Chemicals, Natural Resources, Catalysis & Energy, and Plastics & Coatings. Its products and solutions reach industries including personal care, home care, health care, oil and gas services, mining, automotive, adhesives, plastics, and data centers. If you are trying to work out whether Clariant supplies something relevant to your sector, the company's own site offers two direct routes: a "Find your industry" tool and a "Find a product" tool.
The four focus areas
Clariant describes itself as "one of the world's leading specialty chemical companies" contributing to value creation with "innovative and sustainable solutions for customers from many industries." Its stated focus areas are:
- Care Chemicals — includes personal care and home care applications.
- Natural Resources — includes oil services, oil and gas, and mining.
- Catalysis & Energy — includes catalysts and blue hydrogen.
- Plastics & Coatings — includes additives, flame retardants, and polymers.
Industries and example applications
The homepage highlights a range of specific applications that show how broad the end-market coverage is:
| Area | Example highlighted on the site |
|---|---|
| Personal care | Preservation in baby care; preservation as a "formulation game-changer"; halal-certified beauty |
| Home care | Formulation complexity in wet wipes and preservation challenges |
| Health care | Excipients described as "the unsung heroes of modern medicine" |
| Flame retardants | Exolit™ OP flame retardants for e-mobility and data centers |
| Oil services | Hydrate management with HYTREAT ECO; corrosion in complex production environments; ultra-high-pressure deepwater reserves |
| Mining | Helping mining producers deliver more copper for the energy transition |
| Additives | Switching hot melt polymers from fossil to renewable carbon; alternatives for antimony in modern adhesives |
| Plastics | Enabling circular plastic |
| Automotive | Desiccant moisture control solutions for global automotive assembly CKD/SKD shipments |
| Polymers | Renewable alternatives to montan wax |
Sustainability and innovation positioning
Clariant frames its offering around "innovative and sustainable solutions." Two signals on the homepage support this: the company reports A-List recognition from CDP, and it publishes content on circular plastics and the shift from fossil to renewable carbon. These are positioning statements rather than product specifications, so treat them as context for how Clariant presents its portfolio.
How to find the right product or industry
If you already know your sector, start with "Find your industry." If you know the product category but not the exact grade, start with "Find a product." Both are linked from the homepage. The site also publishes application-led articles (for example, on preservation in wet wipes or hydrate management) that can help you identify which product line applies to a given problem.
What the site does not tell you
The homepage does not list prices, minimum order quantities, or regional availability for specific products. It also does not state whether the "Find a product" tool requires registration. For commercial terms, you would need to go through the product pages or contact Clariant directly.
