Selective Hydrogenation

Make the right move to NanoSelect Catalyst technology from BASF

NanoSelect LF 100 and LF 200 heterogeneous catalysts for selective hydrogenation.

Introducing the new, patented NanoSelect LF 100 and LF 200 environmentally friendly Lindlar replacement catalysts from BASF Catalysts. 

  • Green alternative for select hydrogenation catalyst eliminating the presence of toxic lead
  • Reduced precious metal content results in significant process cost savings 
  • Patented BASF technology combines reducing and stabilizing functions to generate highly unimodal, nanosized metal colloids
  • Comparable activity and selectivity to Lindlar catalysts

 NanoSelect

BASF's NanoSelect LF 100 and LF 200 catalysts are recommended for use in hydrogenation reactions for the partial reduction of functional groups. Specifically, they are suited for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes where a high selectivity towards the cis-alkene is being observed.
