Manufacturers of insulation materials for construction or cooling units have high demands on the product qualities of their raw materials. After all, insulation materials have to perform at the highest level over the long term. Physical blowing agents such as Pentanes play a particularly important role in this. Without them, the insulating material, for example made of polyurethane foam, cannot fully develop its effect. Find out which quality features are important for physical blowing agents.

On-time delivery and reliable planning are important key factors for companies. Should delays occur during transportation, customers want prompt information and transparent communication in order to quickly implement new solutions and, in the worst case, avoid production downtimes. In this article, you can learn all about the requirements, technical implementation and customer benefits of introducing the digital supply chain platform at Haltermann Carless.

As early as 1992, the global community recognised that water sustainability concepts are of crucial importance and adopted the guiding principle of sustainable development. Since then, the protection of water resources has been one of the United Nations' greatest tasks and is anchored in the 6th Sustainable Development Goal. Water treatment plays a central role in achieving the sustainable development. In the following article you will learn more about water recycling, treatment processes and why industry is part of the solution.

The use of sustainable raw materials has long been an important part of the chemical industry's production processes and strategic efforts to make a contribution to Greenhouse Gas reduction and enhanced climate protection. The mass balance approach is a major and important step in driving the transition to alternative raw materials and the achievement of a full circular economy. But what exactly does mass balance mean and how does it contribute to a more sustainable product? The following article provides an overview.

Haltermann Carless introduced a group-wide Sustainability Strategy in 2022. Offering customers alternative solutions builds on the companies' commitment in the strategy to drive portfolio change and bring GHG reductions in the supply chain. The mass balance approach is now another important building block that Haltermann Carless is implementing in order to be able to offer GHG reduced Pentane. How exactly this works, how challenges were solved and what added value customers can expect are explained in an interview by René Tessmann, Senior Vice President Business Unit Industrial and Chris Hutchinson, Senior Vice President Corporate Development & Sustainability. 

High purity and tailor-made solvents are crucial for the agrochemical industry. Aromatic solvents must meet the highest standards and guarantee quality in agrochemical applications enabling high crop yields while at the same time offering the highest possible protection of the environment. Haltermann Carless provides an optimised portfolio for the industry and, in addition, a wide range of services.

Building insulation is playing an increasingly important role in reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving European climate protection goals. Comprehensive insulation is nowadays mandatory in many countries for new buildings. Retrofitting in existing buildings, especially those that are historic, on the other hand, poses many challenges and requires good planning and the right material. Find out here how polyurethane (PU) foam panels and the blowing agent Cyclopentane can contribute to the solution.

Without industrial lubricants, many moving mechanical elements cannot function smoothly. Today, the industry uses high-performance lubricants with properties that are adapted to the respective process conditions. Here you can find out the most important facts about industrial lubricants.

The production of active ingredients (AI) in the pharmaceutical industry is a crucial area in which consistent quality and stable supply of the products must always be guaranteed. The pharmaceutical industry is not subject to major fluctuations - pharmaceuticals are always needed - and must therefore remain continuously capable of production and delivery. Learn how Haltermann Carless can support the pharmaceutical industry.
