Cabot has a long history of creating businesses and developing performance products through working with partners and customers. We understand your needs and deliver innovative solutions by exploiting both our basic particle-related competencies along with developing innovations and partnerships.

As a global performance materials company, we are constantly scouting for new opportunities. This drives us to examine trends in the world's markets and technologies, and to identify key areas where we can create value. We then work with partners and customers to create programs to address the needs in these areas through:

• Internal research projects driven by close external relationships
• Cooperative research, including joint development programs
• Other approaches, such as government programs with partners

Our customers and partners work with us in a spectrum of applications:

• In industries where we have existing products lines, including: carbon blacks, inkjettable materials, security materials, aerogel, silicas and aluminas
• In emerging industries where we have internal entrepreneurial programs
• In other emerging industries, such as energy generation and storage (batteries, wind energy), directed and self-assembled materials, and optical materials
• In activities where Cabot can provide specific particle functionalities that are desired by customers
• In areas that take advantage of our extensive experience with gas-phase process technologies for materials generation so that we can help partners further develop and scale their processes.

We would like to speak with you about your needs or ideas for solutions, products and process technology in these or other particle-related applications. Send us an email anytime.
