Clariant focuses on innovation for top spot in crop protection auxiliaries
2/9/2012
Muttenz, February 6, 2012 - Clariant, a leading global supplier of specialty chemicals, is putting the focus firmly on products and innovation to enhance its package of support for the crop protection industry. With the promise to bring "a new perspective on science and service", the producer of high quality adjuvants and other auxiliaries for crop protection formulations is making significant investments to help customers improve efficiency, reduce time to market and increase their competitiveness.
In addition to placing innovation at the heart of its business, Clariant will strengthen its operational team and service offering. Product profiling and regulatory guidance, tailored to regional requirements, will be among the enhanced support customers can look forward to. The Competence Center Crop Protection based in Frankfurt will play an important role in supporting the regional teams.
"Our aim is to be a leading solution provider and a preferred innovation partner to the crop protection industry by bringing a new perspective on science and service to the market. We will offer a broad product portfolio including new innovative chemistry based on renewable resources combined with value adding service, to provide our customers with that all-important competitive advantage," says Peter Baur, the new Head of the Competence Center Crop Protection.
"Clariant already offers well performing 慻reen' products including adjuvants, solvents and dispersing agents, and we are looking to expand this aspect of our portfolio", Baur adds.
"We will build up a unique portfolio of guide formulations and profiling services geared to enhancing the efficiency of our customers' products, reduce their water and energy consumption, and help them comply with regulatory requirements in their markets," continues Baur. "We already have production facilities around the world, we are strengthening our global team of experts, and we are aiming to be seen as the Number One provider in our sector well before the end of the decade."
Clariant is in the process of bringing in new experts to the team and adding a considerable amount of new laboratory equipment. It aims to have the additional service offerings in place by mid-2012.
"We regard expanded formulation support as being very important," says Baur. "Active ingredients from the last decades often have properties that challenge the formulator to develop a stable formulation without freezing activity. It`s all about balancing robust activity and stability with user-friendliness of the product. And of course this area is highly regulated and covered by a complex web of patents that our smaller customers in particular find it difficult to keep track of. Our market intelligence is critical to them."
Research and development will receive a further important boost next year when Clariant opens its new Innovation Center in Frankfurt, Germany. Synergies with other business units within the Clariant group will also be increased.
The world's leading producers of finished crop protection formulations, as well as many smaller suppliers, including manufacturers of generic agrochemicals, are among the customers of Clariant Crop Protection.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
