· Polymer Solutions – Within this segment, Albemarle supplies fire safety solutions, antioxidants and curatives to many global markets. We help keep people safe from harm with technology that enhances the fire retardant properties of plastic enclosures for consumer electronics, printed circuit boards, electrical connectors, textiles and more.

And our curatives are used in cast elastomers, coatings and specialty adhesives that are incorporated into products from wheels to concrete coatings.

Whether it’s extracting more diesel from each barrel of oil, creating a higher quality plastic resin or meeting growing demand for light emitting diodes (LEDs), our global network of industry-leading professionals can tackle the toughest challenges. Together with our partners, we continue to drive innovation and deliver value to our customers through our Performance Catalyst Solutions (PCS) division, as well as through our Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalysts and Hydroprocessing Catalysts (HPC) groups, which make up our Refinery Catalysts division.
