Froth flotation chemistry separates copper ore from gangue — xanthate collectors selectively bind to sulfide minerals, attaching them to air bubbles. Without these molecules, battery-grade copper stays in the rock.

Shell is building Europe's largest biofuel facility in Rotterdam — turning waste oils into renewable diesel via hydroprocessing. It's Fischer-Tropsch chemistry reborn for the circular economy. Old molecules, new purpose.

Trinseo's styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex binds the paper coatings in glossy magazines. Our solution-styrene-butadiene (SSBR) serves low-rolling-resistance EV tires — cutting energy waste one rotation at a time.
