Specialty chemicals are high-value, performance-enhancing substances designed for specific applications across various industries. Unlike bulk chemicals, they are produced in smaller volumes but offer tailored solutions for unique needs. These chemicals include additives, adhesives, lubricants, coatings, surfactants, and catalysts, among others. They play a vital role in enhancing the performance, efficiency, and durability of products in sectors like automotive, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, textiles, and electronics. Due to their specialized nature, they often command higher prices and require advanced manufacturing processes.
