Since the early 80's, Lansdowne Chemicals has been handling Hydrazine Hydrate and supplying diluted material into a variety of industries. We are the largest consumer of Hydrazine Hydrate in the UK and the market leader in diluting the product.

Our main area of expertise is in the power sector. Significant volumes of Hydrazine Hydrate are consumed by power stations to remove dissolved oxygen from boiler water, preventing corrosion damage. As an antioxidant, it protects pipes from rust and increases the life expectancy of plant equipment.

Hydrazine Hydrate is also a key raw material in the production of pharmaceutical intermediates, plastic additives, herbicides and fungicides, as a reducing agent for the recovery of precious metals and in catalyst preparation. It also has uses as a chain extender in water based urethane coatings.

Lansdowne supplies Hydrazine Hydrate in many concentrations and can offer custom grades according to requirements. The highest strength available is HH80% (51.2% Hydrazine) and from this material, we manufacture the following "off the shelf" grades:

In 2005, we developed Hydrazine Hydrate 7.5% in a direct response to the Seveso II Directive. This grade has a Hydrazine content of 4.8% to 4.9%, which is under the 5% threshold thus making it is possible to stay out of COMAH classification.

Our service levels are such that we can accommodate customers needs in terms of delivery sizes and frequency. We offer "just in time" deliveries to help customers comply with COMAH regulations and quantities of less than 500 kilos at a time.

We are able to offer a wide variety of packaging for our material. 25 ltr polycans, 200 ltr drums, 500 ltr and 1000 ltr IBCs are all standard sizes for us. All our containers are fitted with a closed system (Micromatic valves) which reduces operator exposure to Hydrazine. Lansdowne are always looking at new and innovative packaging and are happy to work closely with our customers in order to achieve total satisfaction.

We also offer Hydrazine solutions in our 30,000 litre bespoke road tanker. This is essential for users of dilute Hydrazine to cope efficiently with the increased volumes of liquid being handled.

Our new state of the art automated dilution facility is now in full operation and has greatly improved operator and environmental safety, in line with best practice under the Seveso Directive.

This considerable investment from Lansdowne will increase our capacity and further cement our position as a market leader in the dilution and service business
