Speciality Chemicals Sector

The Speciality Chemicals Sector group aims to highlight industrial advances in speciality chemicals and has over 250 members. All members receive the annual sector newsletter, which contains information on the future programme as well as reports on past activities and other items of interest. 

We organise a number of conferences, symposia and exhibitions each year on topics relevant to our members, and are affiliated to the Industry and Technology Forum. The conferences are normally organised by 4-5 member teams with an industrial co-sponsor organisation and are set up and approved by the sector committee of about 12 members, which meets 3 times a year. New ideas for programmes and new committee members are always welcome.

Information on our conference programme and publications can be found on our Speciality Chemicals Sector Website.

We also promote chemistry through supporting talks and demonstrations in primary and secondary schools, the support of science weeks and science fairs, science web sites, events staged by local sections, and activities for schools run by external organizations such as the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre.
