What Synthesis does
Synthesis Water Solutions Ltd. is a UK-based specialty water treatment company headquartered in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, that manufactures and sells proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry products under the Klarolaks™ and Kyrozid® brands. The underlying chemistry is targeted at biofilm control, microbiological disinfection, and Legionella prevention across industrial, healthcare, and potable water systems; Klarolaks™ is positioned as an advanced multi-active biocide that generates both active chlorine and chlorine dioxide in-situ with regenerative extended-release chemistry, while Kyrozid® is positioned as a WHO- and ECHA-compliant chlorine dioxide treatment. Both products are supplied as ready-to-use liquids in single drums, eliminating the need for on-site chemical generation equipment. Manufacturing, originally developed since 1998 by KyroChem GmbH in Germany, was brought under Synthesis Group ownership through a 2024 acquisition that consolidated formulation IP and German production capability. The business model is B2B direct sales of proprietary chemical products, with pricing handled through quote-based enquiry rather than published tiers, supported by enterprise field-sales specialist consultation on product selection, dosing, and application. The go-to-market is content-driven (website, case studies, YouTube, LinkedIn) feeding direct enterprise enquiries across UK, Germany, and an announced expansion pipeline into broader Europe, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

Synthesis product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Synthesis Water Solutions manufactures proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry products — Klarolaks™ (an advanced multi-active biocide that generates both active chlorine and chlorine dioxide in-situ) and Kyrozid® (a WHO- and ECHA-compliant chlorine dioxide solution) — supplied as ready-to-use liquids in single drums for biofilm control, Legionella prevention, and water disinfection in industrial, healthcare, potable water, and food & beverage systems.
Product overview
Synthesis is a manufacturer of innovative chlorine dioxide chemistry for water treatment. The company offers two distinct product families: Klarolaks™ (advanced multi-active biocide technology for controlling biofilm and killing microorganisms) and Kyrozid® (chlorine dioxide treatment meeting WHO and ECHA standards). Both products are designed for industrial, healthcare, and potable water systems applications. Klarolaks™ is available in two concentrations (LX at 6% available chlorine for routine treatment, and C at 10% for heavy-duty applications), while Kyrozid® provides compliant disinfection treatment. The products eliminate the need for on-site chemical generation or mixing of hazardous substances.
