Why Choose Premier Chemicals Ltd?

Premier Chemicals specialises in the supply of gas purification chemicals including Premiox^™ Gold based oxidation catalyst for carbon monoxide (CO) removal, soda lime (Intersorb^®, Spherasorb^®) for CO₂ and acid gas removal and Calcium Chloride (Peladow DG) for gas dehydration. Premier Chemicals supplies specialist gas purification products, such as oxidation catalysts and absorbent materials. These products are typically used for the removal of low level contaminants in breathable and industrial gases.

Carbon Monoxide Catalyst – Premiox™

Premier Chemicals supplies Premiox^™ oxidation catalyst for the removal of carbon monoxide (CO). Premiox^™ is a highly active gold based oxidation catalyst which can oxidise harmful carbon monoxide (CO) to the less harmful carbon dioxide (CO₂). Premiox^™ gold based oxidation catalyst can remove carbon monoxide from breathable and industrial gases. Compared with other precious metal catalysts currently available, Gold Catalysts such as Premiox^™ have demonstrated significantly higher catalytic activity, with lower precious metal content, thereby making them more cost-effective than traditional Platinum based catalysts. In addition, Gold based catalysts are less susceptible to deactivation by moisture, unlike traditional Hopcalite, Pt or Pt/Pd based oxidation catalysts. This makes Premier Chemicals’ Premiox^™ Gold catalyst the catalyst of choice for CO removal in humid applications such as treatment of breathable air.

Soda Lime – Intersorb^® and Spherasorb^®

Premier Chemicals is the global distributor (outside of North America) of Intersorb® and Spherasorb® soda lime products for the removal of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), and other acid gases, in diving and industrial applications. Intersorb^® and Spherasorb^® are manufactured in the UK by Intersurgical Ltd, a global supplier of medical consumables for respiratory care. Intersorb^® and Spherasorb^® are soda lime absorbants which chemically convert gaseous carbon dioxide (CO₂) to solid calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) which is retained within the absorbant, thereby removing carbon dioxide from the gas stream. Intersorb^® RG is a refinery grade product which removes low levels of acid gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and sulphur compounds from petrochemical products.

Calcium Chloride

Premier Chemicals are a distributor for Occidental Chemical Corporation’s Peladow^® DG, an anhydrous Calcium Chloride (CaCl₂) briquette developed specifically for hydrocarbon drying. Calcium chloride is widely used as a drying agent in industrial gas applications. Calcium chloride is a versatile chemical. Much of its versatility comes from Calcium Chloride’s deliquescent properties, which means it actively absorbs water until it becomes a liquid (brine). At ambient temperature Anhydrous Calcium Chloride can absorb its own weight in water, forming hydrated forms of the salt ranging from the dihydrate to hexahydrate. This process makes Calcium Chloride ideal for use as a desiccant – for example in gas drying applications.

REACH Ready

Premier Chemicals are working to meet the latest EU legislation and be REACH Ready.
