Full performance with the power of nature
A sensible philosophy for Cognis is: crop to crop. To allow active formulation components in minimal concentrations to develop a maximum effect, we develop highly effective additives. To improve the environmental compatibility of plant protection products at the same time, we use only preferably natural, renewable resources for these additives. Performance meets ecology – that’s how we understand your and our business.
Intelligent chemistry is our nature
In specialty chemicals “formula nature” is more increasingly becoming the formula of the future. Cognis solutions based on natural raw materials meet the high demands of today and tomorrow. We offer our customers and development partners innovative concepts for successful, value-added products as well as the comprehensive know-how for markets, formulations, and processes.
Intelligent chemical solutions according to nature’s logic: That is how we set the course for success – for ourselves and our customers. The agriculture industry has long since discovered the advantages of biological and biotechnological manufacturing: performance and environment-friendliness. Oils from coconut, palm kernel, sunflowers, soybeans, and rapeseed are the raw materials for the modern high-performance chemicals made by Cognis.
Crop to crop – the success principle
What does a plant need to thrive optimally? Hardly anything it does not already contain. Our goal is to extract this full potential and make it available for effective and environmentally compatible plant protection.
We obtain the great majority of our additives and adjuvants from purely vegetable resources. As potentiators for powerful plant protection formulations, they are returned to the plant to enable the next harvest. This results in a natural cycle that does not burden the environment, since the oleochemical special products from Cognis AgroSolutions are almost totally biodegradable.
Crop to crop – this means performance from plant power, for optimal harvests in harmony with nature.
