PetroMax Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst combines high matrix activity with selective zeolitic cracking with a very wide range of activity levels.
A proprietary active matrix enables pre-cracking of large hydrocarbon molecules on the catalyst surface prior to further reaction in zeolite structures.
BASF's PetroMax FCC Catalyst provides balance of matrix and zeolite activity for high conversion from hydrotreated and vacuum gas oil feeds
