KATCHEM - RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION IN CHEMISTRY

Katchem spol. s r.o. is a modern, innovative company with a great potential. We develop new chemical technologies with a wide range of applications, based on our own research. Our work consists of laboratory synthesis and pilot plant production of customised chemicals. By transferring laboratory syntheses to pilot scale, we can explore and increase the potential uses of a wide range of products suitable for industrial or research purposes. Katchem production includes more than 200 borane products.

For several decades, Katchem spol. s r.o. has been devoted to research and the production of substances based on hydrides of boron. These substances have a wide range of applications in various fields, e.g. the chemical, electrochemical, and energy industries, as well as in medicine. These compounds can be used as precursors for the formation of very hard layers based on boron nitrides, and also as substances that are used as a very stable extraction of the reagent in the processing of the irradiated elements from nuclear power plants. The

company has made substances such as BPA (bornofenylalanin) or BSH (B12H11SH)Na2, which are used in medicine in the treatment of complicated malignant tumors (BNCT method), substances used for the doping of semiconducting substrates, or substances which can be used in the technologies of highly effective Li-batteries and energy storage.

The company is largely dedicated to the tailored synthesis of these substances, especially for university and research laboratories worldwide. These substances are supplied mainly to frontier research laboratories in the EU, the USA, and Japan. One of the most important activities of Katchem is the research, manufacturing, and sale of the original initiators for anionic polymerisation of lactams. The most successful product of this category is “DILACTAMATE-Katchem”. Its use is widespread not only in EU countries, but also in Asia, America, and Africa.
