CM RATING50/100
Incorporated on June 12, 1996, Tatva Chintan Pharma chem is a specialty chemicalsmanufacturing company engaged in the manufacturing of a diverse portfolio of structure directing agents(SDAs), phase transfer catalysts (PTCs), electrolyte salts for super capacitor batteries and pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates and other specialty chemicals (PASC). It is the largest and only commercial manufacturer of SDAs for zeolites in India. It also enjoys the second largest position globally. In addition, the company is one of the leading global producers of anentire range of PTCs in India and one of the key producers across the globe.

The company is promoted by Chintan Shah, Ajay Patel and Shekhar Somani, who each have over 24 years in the specialty chemicals manufacturing industry and have established strong business relationships with domestic as well as overseas customers.

As on March 31, 2021, the company manufactures over 154 products which can be divided into the following four broad categories-

Structure Directing Agents: SDAs are quarternary salts which are chemicals which help in the formation of particular channels and pores during the synthesis of zeolites. Zeolites have variedapplications including as catalysts and adsorbents. In particular, zeolites promoted with transition metals such as copper and iron have been proven to be active for the selective catalytic reduction, which is currently considered as one of the preferred technologies for emission control in automotive applications. With a great focus on green technology and a healthy environment,industries are evaluating new technologies by investing in R&D. New and innovative applications are driving the growth of the zeolite market, in turn driving the quaternary ammonium compounds market.
