Lanxess grows capacity for corrosion inhibitor products

Ineos to invest £1 bn in UK

German speciality chemicals company Lanxess has completed a debottlenecking project resulting in a 15% increase in global production capacity of its Additin RC 4xxx series of corrosion inhibition additives. According to Lanxess, the additional capacities are a result of process synergies identified and realised following its acquisition of Chemtura two years ago, which expanded its lubricant additives portfolio and global production network.

Lanxess’s Additin Corrosion Inhibition (CI) product range includes calcium sulfonate, carboxylate, succinic acid, and phosphoric acid-based specialty products. They work by being adsorbed on the polar metal surface to form a water-repellent and protective film that protects against corrosion. Main applications include power transmission oils, industrial oils, metalworking fluids, anti-corrosion oils, and greases.

The Additives (ADD) business unit is part of Lanxess’s Specialty Additives segment, which recorded sales of EUR1.6 billion in FY 2017.
