Auxens catalyst company

Yes. I checked the current Axens information first. One important correction: Axens Catalyst Arabia (ACAL) specifically manufactures hydroprocessing catalysts and, since its expansion, tail-gas-treatment catalysts in Saudi Arabia; the ACAL page does not indicate that it buys every zeolite or every catalyst type in your list.

Below is a practical market-product catalogue based on your requested materials.

1. Refinery / petrochemical catalyst products

Your material/catalyst	Market products you can offer	Main market
NiMo/Al₂O₃	NiMo hydrotreating catalyst, naphtha HDT catalyst, diesel HDT catalyst, VGO hydrotreating catalyst	Refineries
CoMo/Al₂O₃	CoMo HDS catalyst, naphtha HDS catalyst, diesel HDS catalyst, FCC-feed pretreatment catalyst	Refineries
Pt/Al₂O₃	Pt reforming catalyst, Pt hydrogenation catalyst	Refineries / petrochemical
Pd/Al₂O₃	Pd hydrogenation catalyst, selective hydrogenation catalyst	Petrochemical / chemical
ZSM-5	ZSM-5 catalyst, ZSM-5 FCC additive, olefin/aromatics catalyst, methanol-to-hydrocarbon catalyst	Refining / petrochemical
USY / Y zeolite	USY zeolite, REUSY zeolite, FCC catalyst, FCC catalyst additive	FCC refineries
Iron	Fe Fischer–Tropsch catalyst	Synthetic fuels / GTL / CTL research
Cobalt	Co Fischer–Tropsch catalyst	GTL / synthetic fuels
Tungsten carbide	WC catalyst, supported tungsten-carbide catalyst	Research / specialty catalysis

Axens itself describes its catalyst portfolio as covering hydroprocessing, reforming, isomerization, sulfur recovery, hydrogenation, oligomerization and other applications.

For example, Axens currently markets Impulse® hydrotreating catalysts, including NiMo/Al₂O₃ and related formulations, and lists products such as HR 504, HR 508, HR 544 and Impulse® HR 1058 for VGO/hydrotreating applications.

2. Zeolite products — particularly relevant to your idea

If your goal is to build a zeolite supply business, don't sell only the word "zeolite." Offer different commercial grades:

• ZSM-5 powder
• ZSM-5 catalyst
• ZSM-5 FCC additive
• USY zeolite
• REUSY zeolite
• Y zeolite
• Beta zeolite
• Mordenite
• Ferrierite
• Zeolite 3A
• Zeolite 4A
• Zeolite 5A
• Zeolite 13X
• Molecular sieve 3A
• Molecular sieve 4A
• Molecular sieve 5A
• Molecular sieve 13X
• Activated zeolite
• Zeolite adsorbent pellets
• Zeolite beads
• Zeolite powder

These serve different markets: FCC, petrochemicals, gas drying, adsorption, separation and chemical processing. Axens also identifies molecular sieves and activated alumina as major commercial adsorbent materials for drying applications.

Important: ZSM-5 or USY is not a universal raw material from which every refinery catalyst is made. NiMo/Al₂O₃, CoMo/Al₂O₃ and Pt/Al₂O₃ have different supports and active phases.

5. Products most relevant to Axens

If your specific objective is selling to Axens/ACAL, I would prioritize these rather than trying to sell all 30+ materials:

Tier 1 — strongest relevance

1. Alumina catalyst support
2. Activated alumina
3. NiMo catalyst
4. CoMo catalyst
5. NiMo/Al₂O₃ catalyst
6. CoMo/Al₂O₃ catalyst
7. Catalyst support materials
8. Molecular sieves
9. Specialty adsorbents
10. Silica/alumina materials

ACAL's Saudi facility is specifically a hydroprocessing-catalyst manufacturing operation, with capacity exceeding 3,000 MT/year.

Tier 2 — refinery catalyst market

11. ZSM-5
12. USY
13. REUSY
14. FCC catalyst
15. FCC additives
16. Reforming catalyst
17. Hydrogenation catalyst
18. Sulfur-recovery catalyst
19. Tail-gas-treatment catalyst
20. Catalyst grading materials

Axens' current portfolio includes hydroprocessing and reforming catalysts, while its tail-gas-treatment catalyst production is now also carried out at ACAL in Saudi Arabia.

Tier 3 — broader industrial market

21. Calcium carbonate
22. Talc
23. Silica
24. Bentonite
25. Kaolin
26. Graphite
27. Carbon black
28. Paraffin wax
29. Mineral oil
30. Petroleum jelly
31. Rosin
32. Soybean oil
33. Linseed oil

These are general industrial-market products, not necessarily materials that Axens/ACAL purchases.

Most important correction for your business plan

I would not tell Axens that all these materials are "better catalysts to make all catalysts." That is technically inaccurate and could weaken your supplier proposal.

A better proposition is:

“We can supply catalyst-grade zeolites, alumina, silica-alumina, molecular sieves, adsorbents and selected catalyst precursors/support materials according to your required specifications, quantities and quality standards.”

That matches Axens' actual catalyst/adsorbent business much better. Axens itself describes its portfolio as catalysts and adsorbents rather than one universal zeolite-based catalyst system.
