WHAT WE DO

Thanks to extensive and flexible fractionation and rectification capacity, Itelyum produces ultra-high-purity solvents. A robust quality system prevents any potential contamination, making these products suitable for sensitive sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and polymerization.

Leveraging a unique combination of engineering and chemical excellence, Itelyum has developed specialty productions from virgin raw materials suitable for the most demanding applications. Supported by a strong quality management system and a state-of-the-art laboratory, Itelyum has become a European leader in high-purity aliphatic solvents, building long-standing partnerships worldwide.

Cutting-edge R&D and a highly flexible fractionation plant enable the development of customized solutions, such as super-dry or HPLC-grade solvents.

PRODUCTS
