FCC - Functional Chemicals

The essence of performance

Functional Chemicals (FCC) provides plastics additives, phosphorus and specialty chemicals such as organic and inorganic colorants. Day in and day out, this business unit is on the job meeting the needs of customers in a very wide range of industrial sectors. Our high-quality plastics additives improve the processability of materials and the properties of finished products. These include flame retardants with phosphorus chemicals as a basis, plasticizers that prevent plastics from becoming brittle and colorants that make the world a bit brighter. The FCC business unit also offers finishing chemicals that improve the function of products we use in everyday life. We also provide water treatment agents (Bayhibit®*) and specialty chemicals (e.g. Baypure®*).
