Swiss specialty chemicals major Clariant has inaugurated its Malaysian laboratories for oil services and pigments businesses to provide innovative technologies and products that respond to the needs of customers both locally and regionally.
Located in the nucleus of oil and gas operations in South East Asia, the lab by Clariant Oil Services is the first Center of Excellence in Asia Pacific for its oil business. The facility includes state-of-the-art equipment, featuring standard and manual testing processes that model global Clariant Oil Services labs in North America, Brazil and the UK. It also houses formula simulation and performance testing in emulsion, flow assurance, corrosion and scale control technologies. It joins the company’s industry-leading mix of laboratories in one of the world’s key oil and gas regions.
“As the first Center of Excellence for Clariant Oil Services in the Asia Pacific region, the facility converges expert personnel, equipment and overall capability in Shah Alam, and positions us closer to our customers to drive collaboration with a response time which meets their needs,” said Peter Dodgeon, Head of Clariant Oil Services Asia Pacific.
For Clariant’s Pigments Business, its ASEAN Pacific Technical Application Center established in 2005 is being upgraded in capacity to allow the business to provide even more comprehensive and customised technical services to customers from multiple industries in the South East Asia and Pacific region, such as coatings, paintings, printing, plastics and other specialised applications.
“With the upgraded lab, we will be able to better support the increasing demand in both local and regional markets more efficiently and we will continue to build on our dedication to offering innovative and sustainable solutions to our customers from various industries, ” said Phil Adams, Head of Clariant Pigments Asia Pacific.
