tailor-made.
International.
Owing to the ingenuity of scientists, chemistry
is taking a major share in the cultural
achievements of modern times. Chemicals
have become an integral part of our lives.
In this case, special products play an important
and benecial role without the consumer being
aware of their presence. Who would think that
items we use in our daily life such as shoes,
clothing and detergents as well as building
materials and many more would not exist at all
without high grade chemical auxiliaries?
Helping our customers nd new solutions and
ideas which they can apply to their products
via our special raw materials is the core of our
business.
The specialty chemicals produced by
Zschimmer & Schwarz Lahnstein are used as
auxiliaries and raw material for the manufacture
of man-made bres, ceramics, leather and fur
industry as well as multifunctional surfactants
in the cosmetic, industrial and detergent
industry. About two thirds of our production
is exported worldwide with manufacturing
capabilities located in various important
markets. In addition we are traders of specialty
chemicals, supplying industry, trade, craft and
authorities with different organic and inorganic
compounds.

Leather and fur
deserve Z&S
auxiliaries
From its very origins the human race began
transforming raw hides and skins into leathers
and furs for daily practical use. Throughout
the centuries local workshops developed into
major industrial producers with international
networks.
Our wide product range has allowed us to
establish strong links to the leather and fur
industry. We are able to respond to the markets
ever increasing expectations with materials
which are produced thanks to modern product
and application development.
Our leather technicians provide advice and
support for all application elds to customers
and prospective buyers all over the world.
In our view it is this very high level of service
which has contributed to making our leather
auxiliaries one of the most important of our
product lines.

Specialists in
Synthetics
The manufacture of man-made bres from
synthetic as well as natural polymers is a
rapidly changing technology. The constant
development of products and processes
requires special chemicals capable of
facilitating such progress.
We provide the man-made bres industry as
well as nonwoven industry with an extensive
product line. Development work based on
actual practice, and a pilot plant equipped
with the latest bre production and processing
machines, together with up-to-the-minute
measuring and checking facilities, all ensure
that our special auxiliaries are constantly
adapted and optimized.
A great number of components is needed for
the production of these special products.
Due to the high degree of specialization and
quality required, these components mainly
come from our own manufacturing.

System solutions
through expertise
in chemistry,
ceramics and
powder metallurgy
The products of the tile, sanitary ware,
tableware and refractory industries, as well
as high performance and silicate ceramics
and also powder metallurgical products
are characterised by the use of many
ceramic materials and their wide range of
application possibilities. Ceramics as well
as metal and hard metal powders, however,
means not only high quality products, but also
highly complex technology.
During the preparation of different raw
materials for the production of ceramics and
powder metallurgical components, chemical
auxiliaries contribute signicantly to the
successful achievement of the desired result.
They guarantee high quality products
throughout the individual production stages,
such as preparation, shaping, glazing and
decorating.
Todays demands on materials with regard to
productivity, cost reduction and environmental
compatibility, are particularly high.
Our auxiliaries are able to meet such demands
as a result of continuous development and
optimisation.
Practice orientated development work in a
laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art
technology, alongside customer related
application techniques, enable us to respond
effectively to all relevant technical enquiries.

Availability
from stock
The origin of our company lies in the eld of
chemical wholesale. In this business area
we still think of ourselves as an intermediary
between industry and customer, supplying a
wide range of organic and inorganic chemicals
to industry, trade and authorities.
Modern warehousing facilities which are able
to handle the growing demands regarding
logistics and safety issues are available
ensuring the prompt availability of basic
raw materials. Our own freight-park, with
specialised vehicles for the transport of a wide
diversity of chemical products, gives us a solid
basis from which to offer immediate and delay-
free deliveries.
Our service:
Product application support
Laboratory and industrial testing on
precipitation, occulation and mud drainage
Problem solving as regards mud bulking and
otation as well as foam formation
Microscope analysis
Our guarantee
of absolute reliability
Progressive
logistics
Our modern Logistics Centre, with its state-
of-the-art equipment, ensures both the safe
storage of our products and the scheduled
handling of goods in stock.
At the heart of this Centre is a fully automated
high-stack store, in which a total of 12.000
pallets can be handled by seven computer
operated service machines. Additional
separate compartments as well as tank
facilities for storing ammable liquids
guarantee compliance with all safety standards
during the storage of chemicals. Furthermore
preventive re protection as well as automatic
extinguishing facilities and containment rooms
for waste water also meet todays stringent
safety requirements for the storage of materials
which could affect water quality.
The various storage facilities are directly linked
with commissioning and order processing
centres by a modern, remotely-guided
conveyor system, thus ensuring the rapid and
precisely-controlled movement of goods for our
customers and suppliers.
Our
commitment
Protecting the
environment
Manufacturing chemistry and environmental
protection should not be in conict. We
endeavour to bear out this claim.
All efuent produced by the plant - in the rst
instance from the various washing and cleaning
processes - is treated both mechanically and
biologically in our own purication unit. Both,
our own constant controls and those carried out
by independent authorities guarantee the high
quality of our efuents.
Gas and dust emissions are reduced to
a minimum by a combination of ltration,
absorption, and after-burning processes.
In our Ecological Laboratory we examine the
effects of our products on the environment
so that, even during development stage,
their environmental compatibility can be fully
considered.
Vehicles used for the transportation of
hazardous goods are carefully monitored in
order to comply with legislative requirements.
Via facilities on site we are also able to utilise
railway transport both for dispatch and
reception of goods.
Last but not least, detailed technical
documentation, product information, safety
data, and hazard guidance literature, together
with comprehensive labelling, ensure that our
products can be handled in a safe and eco-
friendly way both during transport and by our
customers.

Our experience
Modern technology
and assured quality
Modern technology
The company's most important chemical processes are
sulfonation, sulfation, sultation, alkoxylation, esterication,
condensation and polymerisation.
Progress in the chemical eld is strongly linked with the
continuous development of production procedures and
safe engineering as well as with the correct use of
modern technology.
Our goal is to be always at the leading edge of manufacturing
technology. This refers both to the installation of new
production equipment as well as to
the improvement and maintenance of existing plants.
Further key
components
The supply of power to the plant, and of the
basic utilities required for production, such
as electricity, steam, compressed air and
water, must, of course, be guaranteed round
the clock. Besides the from the technology
required above, our own facilities and fully-
trained personnel ensure that plant support
and service systems are available where and
when they are needed. A fully equipped on-
site re brigade with all equipment necessary
for the handling of emergencies on a chemical
plant is also available in case of need.
And nally, we never forget that working well
depends on eating well! Our employees
and our guests are well catered for by our
dedicated team of cooks.
