Specialty chemicals are chemicals or high value-added products that are used as intervenes, catalysts, protectants or preservatives and constituents in various products and applications. The chemicals are also known as effect chemicals, performance chemicals and formulation chemicals. They are used in low quantities and targeted towards specific end-use industries. The chemical and physical characteristics of the chemicals influence the performance of end products.
