A rare earth element essential for high-performance magnets, neodymium keeps motors running and wind turbines turning. It is also a key component in our VALIKAT product line, where it is a highly effective catalyst in the polymerization of synthetic rubber. Specifically, neodymium-based catalysts are critical for producing a rubber with exceptional elasticity and wear resistance. This makes it valuable in applications like electric vehicle tires, where lowering rolling resistance leads to improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO₂ emissions.
