Business operations
Clean Science and Technology operates in three major segments – Performance Chemicals, Pharma and Agro Intermediates and FMCG Chemicals. Here’s a detailed look:
Performance chemicals: This is a key segment for Clean Science and Technology as it contributed 69% to the company’s revenue in 2022-23. products in the segment include monomethyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ), butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA), hindered amine light stabilisers (HALS) and tertiary butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) and ascorbyl palmitate.
MEHQ is an organic compound that is a synthetic hydroquinone derivative. It is mainly used as a polymerisation inhibitor in the production of acrylic fibres, inks, paints, adhesives, and super absorbent polymers. Ascorbyl palmitate is mainly used in cosmetics, infant food formulations, and breakfast cereals. Sulphur-free BHA is widely used as an antioxidant in the animal feed and nutrition and food and feed industries.
TBHQ is a new product that was launched in 2022-23. It is primarily used as a stabilising agent in edible oil and can be combined with other preservation agents.
Pharma and agro intermediates: This segment contributed 19% to the company’s revenue in FY23. Products include guaiacol, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC) and para benzoquinone (p-BQ).
Guaiacol is a versatile compound that finds application in various industries. It is used as a key starting material in the production of APIs like guaifenesin, carvedilol, ranolazine, and methocarbamol. Guaiacol is also used in the synthesis of food ingredients and fragrance goods.
DCC is a potent dehydrating agent used to synthesise amides, esters, and anhydrides. It is also an essential raw material for producing APIs, including amikacin, valacyclovir, and glutathione, among others.
PBQ is a new product that was introduced in 2022-23. It is used in the manufacturing of herbicides and fungicides and is utilised as an intermediate in the agrochemical and monomer industry or agrochemical or monomer industries.
FMCG Chemicals: This segment accounted for 11% of the company’s revenue in 2022-23. Products include 4-methoxy acetophenone (4-MAP) and anisole.
4-MAP is an aromatic compound with a sweet, fruity, and nutty aroma that is like vanilla. It is widely used as an intermediate in the manufacturing of cosmetic additives such as avobenzone which is the most common UVA filter in sunscreens. It is also used in food flavourings and as a cigarette additive.
Anisole is a versatile chemical used in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemical industries. It is a vital raw material for the manufacturing of pesticides, fragrances, perfumes and flavours.
Clean Science and Technology has become the largest producer of anisole worldwide. The company’s distinction lies in its use of vapour phase technology to produce anisole.
