India’s Dorf Ketal Chemicals has acquired DuPont’s specialty catalyst business, which generated roughly $50 million in sales in 2008. Dorf Ketal calls the business the world leader in organometallic titanates—compounds used as catalysts in chemical manufacture, as curing and cross-linking agents, and as surface modifiers.

Dorf Ketal Chairman Sud­hir Menon says he expects to close further acquisitions in the range of $100 million to $200 million by the end of the year.
