Safety 
Worldwide Clariant applies very high safety standards to its products and processes. This makes it is ideally positioned and equipped to help its customers navigate plastics and chemical regulations and practices, now and in the future.

• Clariant launches MEVOPUR^® – its dedicated range of color and performance masterbatches and compounds for the medical and pharmaceutical sector. The new brand will provide a controlled, consistent and compliant portfolio, able to address the safety challenges of customers in this highly-sensitive and demanding sector.
• Customers serving the consumer goods, toys and food packaging markets are well prepared for the 2012 REACH lead chromate restriction thanks to Clariant’s commitment to anticipating regulatory evolution. Clariant was among the first pigments’ producers to foresee future legislation regarding lead chromate, adding lead chromate-free pigments to its color ranges long before the 2012 REACH restriction came on the horizon.

Ecology 
Clariant offers ecology-driven solutions that may help to protect the environment. In doing so it helps customers to improve the sustainability and environmental impact of their operations and products, while striving to create its own products with the same high regard for the environment.

• Clariant announces a major capacity expansion for its non-halogenated flame retardants for plastics, Exolit^® OP. Clariant will double capacity by 2012 by debottlenecking existing facilities and then adding a second industrial unit. Further opportunities to extend capacity from 2014 onwards are being explored. 

 
Efficiency
