Clariant has expanded its high-throughput experimentation lab in Palo Alto, California.

Clariant has doubled the capacity of its high-throughput catalyst R&D center in Palo Alto, California. The facility, which opened in 2009, has tested “tens of thousands” of catalysts, the company says.

Clariant claims that PolyMax 600 has 25% more activity than phthalate-based catalysts.
