LANXESS Showcases Integrated Hygiene and Chemical Solutions Portfolio at CHEMUK with Focus on Sustainability and Performance

(IN BRIEF) LANXESS will participate in the CHEMUK trade fair for the first time, presenting its portfolio of oxidation and disinfection solutions across home care and industrial applications. Key highlights include the Oxone monopersulfate compound for low-temperature laundry detergents, a broad range of disinfectant active ingredients, and the CDP concept for industrial hygiene management. The company will also showcase Preventol OX, a chlorine-free disinfectant, and Klarix EXIT, a solution enabling the production of biocide-free or low-biocide products. The exhibition reflects LANXESS’s focus on combining performance, efficiency, and sustainability in chemical solutions.

(PRESS RELEASE) COLOGNE, 22-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — LANXESS is set to make its debut at the CHEMUK trade fair, where it will present a broad range of solutions focused on disinfection, oxidation, and industrial hygiene. The company will exhibit at booth J152 in Hall 5 at the NEC Birmingham on 20–21 May 2026, showcasing innovations that span household applications and large-scale industrial processes.

A key highlight of LANXESS’s presence will be its Oxone monopersulfate compound, positioned as an advanced oxidizing agent for modern detergent formulations. During a scheduled presentation, the company will outline how Oxone supports effective stain removal even at low washing temperatures and shorter cycles, while offering fast reaction performance and flexibility in formulation.

Beyond home care applications, LANXESS is emphasizing its portfolio of disinfectant active ingredients, marketed under brands such as Klarix, Preventol, and Oxone. These solutions are engineered to combat a wide spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, making them suitable for use in agriculture, industrial facilities, and institutional environments. In addition to standalone actives, the company also provides base formulations that customers can adapt and market under their own brands.

At the core of LANXESS’s offering is its integrated approach to industrial hygiene, represented by the CDP concept—Control, Detect, and Prevent. This framework is designed to help operators manage microbiological risks more effectively by combining monitoring, early detection, and preventative measures to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.

As part of this concept, LANXESS is highlighting Preventol OX, a chlorine-free disinfectant and oxidizing agent suitable for a variety of industrial applications. The product is designed for ease of handling and can be used to treat process and recycled water, disinfect equipment, and remove organic residues through oxidation.

Another innovation being introduced is Klarix EXIT, a non-biocidal solution for use in the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, and other water-based materials. This technology enables the temporary use of traditional biocides such as CIT and MIT during manufacturing, which are subsequently broken down without leaving residues. The result is the ability to produce finished products that are either free from biocides or contain significantly reduced levels.

Through its participation at CHEMUK, LANXESS is positioning itself as a provider of comprehensive solutions that address both performance and sustainability challenges in modern chemical applications, from household detergents to complex industrial systems.
