Products Manufactured

Cars, toothpastes, infusion solutions and aircraft seats are only some of the products for which Riedel-de Haën® brand special chemicals are used. Hydrofluoric acid is used to make matt surfaces in incandescent bulbs or bottles, amongst other uses. Other products are used to treat metal surfaces, preserve wood or reduce the flammability of wool. A Riedel-de Haën brand product gives sealing products for insulation glass the necessary hardness. Inorganic salts are important components in dialysis solutions for kidney patients. Numerous foodstuffs are also treated with Riedel-de Haën branded products in order to increase the shelf life or to guarantee special quality characteristics. Such products serve to keep cheese fresh over a prolonged period, for example. Table salt with added Riedel-de Haën fluorides helps to prevent caries. Around 50 different branches of industry are supplied from Seelze - in many cases to world market leaders.

LUMILUX® - Lighting up the dark
Persistent and phosphorescent pigments form part of our daily lives - as life-saving escape route markings, for example. It is usually LUMILUX luminescent pigments that light up the dark. LUMILUX is also a firmly established brand when it comes to ensuring the authenticity of documents, such as credit cards, cheques, bank notes, passports and personnel documents. The pigments become visible under ultraviolet light - and no photocopier in the world is able to falsify this technology. In this way, LUMILUX thwarts the best efforts of forgers. The pigments manufacturered in Seelze are added to inks, dyes or plastics. The resultant products are subsequently applied by the customer by means of printing technology, short cut fibres for paper production or dispersions for coating applications. Or they may be processed with transparent plastics by means of injection moulding to produce popular fluorescent articles for children.

LUMILUX luminescent pigments act like "light reservoirs", storing ambient light. They then release this light as green light. In dark conditions, this effect is particularly pronounced and impressive.

PINA® - The platform for modern photographic and photosensitive materials
PINA® photographic dyes are firmly established in the film industry. They perform diverse functions in film materials. Special sensitizers provide the required photosensitivity in the desired colour. Stabilising photographic dyes help to render photographic materials durable. Infrared dyes enable the direct usage of computer data. The areas of application are diverse. "Imaging & information" describes the general technological direction: Black-and-white films, colour films, medical tomography films, x-ray films, print films, computer printing plates, holography, semi-conductor lithography - all these areas benefit from the PINA® brand.

Electronic chemicals
Ultra-fine solutions
Silicon provides the basis for modern microelectronics. Ultra-fine structures are created in a large number of repeated, predominantly chemical steps to produce semi-conductor materials with diverse electrical properties. This provides the basis on which microchips work. In this way, silicon serves as the basis for the production of memory modules and microprocessors - and to an increasing extent entire electronic systems.
Chemicals for etching and cleaning purposes in such a production process come from Seelze.

We create ultra-fine structures
Honeywell supplies acids, bases, ready-to-use etching mixtures and solvents, e.g. propanol, to electronics groups from all over the world. High-purity chemicals are required in the production of semi-conductors such as microchips, solar cells or computer hard drives. We produce such chemicals under so-called "clean-room conditions", as even the most minimal levels of contamination will result in defective products for our customers. Hydrofluoric acid is the most important product for the area of electronic chemicals.

Safe and secure packaging
Our packaging standards go hand-in-hand with our customers' quality and purity requirements. Our packaging technology ensures the mutual compatibility of shipped materials while also according due consideration to transportation requirements and preserving the quality of the dispatched products. Much of the packaging we employ has been developed in-house. Our packaging experts are also on hand to advise all other product areas and our customers.
